Kinect £129.99 for us Brits

 Just got this letter from GAME.

 Dear Customer,

Kinect's price has just been announced as

£129.99

Not got an Xbox 360 but want to get Kinect-ed?

SKIP

I guess you have to allow for higher taxes. But yeh, I could spend £130 on way better things than what KInect has to offer.

That's almost 200 American dollars. That seems like a lot. I know I wouldn't pay for it, but there are a dozen other things that I need to buy first.

130 squids, I think I'll save for other things. :S

€150 for the rest of Europe
 
Pass.

wow that's much cheaper than I expected.

I had a mini rant about this on twitter earlier. £130 is ridiculous and, like many other people, I'm not convinced by it at all (to be honest, I'm not fussed about Move either but at least that's £35 to get started and not the price we pretty much pay for a Wii ¬¬).
IMO, this motion control nonsense needs to stop. I just want to relax when playing a game, not shouting at a stupid camera for not measuring my movement perfectly. blahblah /rant

Pass.

When you consider the VAT we pay, and the extra costs incurred with shipping the units to us, we're paying no more than £10 more to Microsoft than the US market is. And when you take into account that the average Brit earns quite a lot more than the average American, it's not really that much "bullshit".
 
I'm still not buying one. I don't have the money, and even if I did, I haven't been overly interested in many of the games natal has to offer, but the price compared to the US price isn't as bad as it first seems.

Will probably be stupidly priced in Canada.

That's basically the price of four newly released games. So the question is do you want four new games or some mini games and a device that will allow you buy  games with which to use it? I know which option I'd go for.
 
 
KINECT ADVENTURES!

Fuck that, I was looking forward to living in the future, £100 is the limit.

Buy a DSi for less. Nuff said.

Could be worse, they could have priced it at £150 to coincide with the $150 and €150 prices in those respective regions.
 
Still the product itself doesn't seem worth the price given what we know from E3. The £130 for what is being offered doesn't feel justified, there doesn't seem to be any real games on Kinect in comparison to the Wii and what Move will eventually release with.

You guys can afford it.

Face it, you don't need it and nobody else needs it. Die skittles.

" @FluxWaveZ: I've noticed that Canada tends to get fucked a lot.  "

dance central just aint worth it!

Wow, that's so expensive...Upwards of US$200? Ouch. I'm beginning to think that Kinect is gonna be X360S only, the way it looks. But why do I care? Motion control sucks.

What's even worse is that the price will rise in January because VAT is going up to 20% YAY! \o/

Kinect's price isn't look good in any country. =/

Don't feed the Casual game takeover stand up for teh proper hardcore!!!

$199 here in Australia 
 
= 114 GBP
= $174 USD 
 
Imagine the shit storm if Kinect was $174 US

"€150 for the rest of Europe  Pass. "

I know it's $150 in the US but come on that's around £100 to us. That's bullshit. "
