Kinect Adapter sold out for weeks meanwhile

yep bad business very unacceptable i think we all need reimbursement seeing i kept mine to use for Skype on Xbox One X now i cant what a joke of a company

Would like to know as well

Yeah that's just bad business and not acceptable at all. I've been supporting the Xbox product line since the original. I have a Kinect on the 360 and the original Xbox One and feel like I wasted my money upgrading to the One X now.

I feel the same way! I also purchased an xbox one s and a kinect and games only to find that we also need an adapter that is not sold in any local stores. Also it is not available on Microsoft site. I have been looking for a couple weeks now, and feel
real bad about spending all that money and not being able to use the kinect. I already tried ebay once and found out that the seller was not legit, so I am also wondering when Microsoft will start selling the adapter again. We would love to use our kinect
and kinect games!

You can not plug kinect without that? Is it the same for the X? It's a joke ?

They removed the dedicated Kinect port from the One S and One X. A standard USB port does not provide enough power to power it, so the adapter is required, which comes with its own power supply.

MS were very anti-consumer with the way they handled this. Initially the product page for the One X said that it would work with all Xbox One peripherals and accessories, with no small print talking about adapters. Then, after that was pointed out, MS added
some small print saying a Kinect adapter is required, which is still on the product page now, but they don't mention that they stopped making the adapter ages ago and only just got around to telling people that.

I bought an adapter weeks before the One X came out, cos I knew I would need it, but then just a few days after the One X was released, the Kinect adapters were sold out at RRP everywhere in the UK and were only available from third party sellers who'd jacked
the price up. MS took WEEKS to clarify that the adapter was discontinued and now the third parties have jacked the price up even more. It was blatantly obvious that when releasing the One X, there would be a spike in demand for the Kinect adapters, yet they
clearly don't care about the consumers that have been shafted by this. They want rid of Kinect and if you couldn't get an adapter, it's tough luck as far as they're concerned.
