Microsoft Drops Kinect Price to $109.99

A $40 shift for Microsoft's accessory, which puts it just over $100.

If our recent Quick Look of the sequel to Double Fine Happy Action Theater got you wondering “hey, maybe I should pick up a Kinect,” Microsoft has conveniently dropped the price for you.

The company announced today the official price has moved from $149.99 to $109.99, an appreciable $40 shift.

This change only applies to North America, Latin Ameria, and Asia Pacific regions, though. In Europe and Japan, Kinect remains at its current price.

Still unsure if it's worth it as a gaming peripheral. I really enjoy having it for the video apps, but there really aren't any killer IPs available. Loved The Gunstringer, and Happy Action Theater. But it really isn't worth the price of admission.

Oh lordy, I saw that price and my heart jumped. Is that really the significantly discounted MSRP now?

Talk about misguided.

Interesting news, but I'm still not getting it. There just isn't enough game for me to be interested in investing for.
