Xbox 1 Kinnect 2.0 standalone - $149

If people weren't interested enough in Kinect to buy a console with it, then they sure as hell aren't going to be interested in it at that price point. That's whether or not it includes a dance game with it.

Seems to be that Microsoft are overestimating again the interest people have in the Kinect.

Maybe but if you look at the sales figures for the 360 Kinect they were absolutely massive. The biggest selling 360 game is a Kinect title.

The newest Dance Central's only $10!? How did a game (even a Kinect game) ever become so cheap? That sounds like the price of an Xbox 360 Arcade title (and not necessarily a very good one).

That price is a joke. No one will buy it at that price.

That is a valid point Vaynel.

And this price is not a punishment. It is a bundle, (some may find the game intriguing, i hear dance games are really popular in Asia) and as GG pointed out; it is priced about appropriately

@Burstaxe - You have a very strange sense of humor then. Nobody said prices wouldn't change. I just brought up eBay to show that the market has already set a value for the Kinect and it's way less than what MS is going to be asking. Of course it will fluctuate
with supply and demand, and probably already has gone up a bit since there's not quite as much of a surplus since people are no longer forced to buy it if they want an Xbox One.

MS is just trying to empty their over stocked inventory of Kinects, that gathered up as a result of separating them from the console.

It wont cost any more to manufacture, but setting up separate assembly lines for internal packaging, storage and then distribution is going to substantially increase the cost I would think.

It's cheaper to get Xbox 1 WITH the Kinect in the first place!! NZ RRP for Xbox 1 is $599 without Kinect and $749 with Kinect. If it's gona be over US$100 for just the Kinect, or say US$150, that's gona be something like about NZ$200 possibly a little
more. $200+$599=$799. Some say Kinect is not worth US$100. The fact that Microsoft may be charging OVER US$100 for a standalone Kinect for someone who had a "change of mind" is kind of like punishment. Unless you get a second hand Kinect or manage to find
one from somewhere probably not an authorized Xbox retailer.

Right because everything MS makes works perfectly. I get it.
