    Kinect Support

    Kinect is a camera and depth sensor-based peripheral for the Xbox 360 that allows users to interact with and play games using their whole bodies, rather than using a standard controller.

    Gamestop lists Kinect price for $150

    Saw this on engadget. I thought it was really strange that no price was officially announced. According to the Gamestop listing, you can purchase Kinect by itself for $150, buy it with an Arcade bundle for $300, or an Elite bundle for $400. None of the prices sound appealing though...

    I just got a email from Amazon about it. Their product page shows 150 and are allowing preorders.

    They also have a little warning saying that  
     
     

    Official pricing has not been announced by the publisher. This is an estimate only and subject to change. Worry Free Guarantee - if the price decreases between the time you place your preorder and the release date, you’ll receive the lowest price.

    It compares to Sony's Move. With a full Move set racking at $80 in addition to the camera the price gets pretty insane with multiple people in mind. However, I still think it should've been $100

    A lot of people where saying 50 bucks would be perfect for it.
