Poll If Microsoft released a $500 Xbox One option without the Kinect included, which would you be more likely to buy? (247 votes)
I've seen a lot of people say that their problems with the system still lie with the Kinect and its camera, rather than the now-dead DRM policies and always online requirements. Ignoring the existence of the PS4 and its price point, would you be willing to buy an equally-priced Xbone if it didn't include that hangup?
Hypothetically, let's say that Microsoft gives a press release tomorrow to announce that they're making an alternative X1 model without a Kinect. This model would be identical to the current one, with all the same features and no new features included; the one and only difference would be that the Kinect is gone. Never mind that there's nothing to make up the price difference for removing the Kinect - all I'm asking is which one you would prefer, if given the option.
If $500 at launch is too much for you either way, assume that their prices would drop equally over the life of the console.
