    Xbox One X - False advertising?


    No longer works this way. this is stated here http://support.xbox.com/en-us/xbox-one/accessories/kinect-adapter

    An offer for people with a Kinect Sensor upgrading from Xbox One ended in March 2017.

    Xbox One X - False advertising?

    I know the Kinect will work with all the current Xbox versions with an adapter, that's not what I'm saying.

    I'm saying you can't have "All the Xbox One accessories you’ve got now (or have got your eye on) work with Xbox One S and Xbox One X. No adapters, no hassle. Just play." written on the website you're showing off your latest console and then expect people
    to go out and buy adapters. Either cough up the adapter for free, change the false claim on your website, or do the usual with the tiny asterisk or number beside the current false claim and then write somewhere miles down the page " *Does not apply for the
    Kinect. For the kinect you need an adapter sold separately. Adapter. Hassle. No play"..

    Xbox One X - False advertising?

    From what I've read on gaming sites, it will require a usb dongle, same as the Xbox One S...

    I'm pretty sure an "angry" e-mail to Microsoft, if they even bothered to read it, would probably either get you a dongle sent for free, or an asterisk * on the advertisement that would say "except the Kinect whose owners we've been screwing since a few months
    after release"...

    Even on their own site, the Kinect appears at http://www.xbox.com/en-GB/xbox-one/accessories/kinect...ACCESSORIES.... So yeah, I would say this is false advertising..

    Again, I know it died, I let it go. Buying a £40-50 extra adapter won't make me poor if I decide to buy the XboX One X.

    That doesn't mean the Kinect is not classed as an "Xbox accessory I've got now" though, ergo false advertising on Microsoft's side.

    Does it really matter? I mean the amount of hatred the Kinect got at launch was HUGE.

    I say retire the Kinect to the scrap pile of history and move on, very few games ever got released that used it, and now we don't have to have it plugged in for the Xbox One to work, no new games will ever get made.

    And for the people that say "I use it to change channels on my TV" the Xbox One X has an IR blaster at the front of the console, just like the Xbox One S does.
