Kinect Available For Pre-Order From UK Retail Sites

Following the news earlier today that Kinect is retailing for $149.99 (£100 give or take) on the Microsoft Store for US punters, some UK retailers like ShopTo.net and Game.co.uk have started taking pre-orders, with the former listing a RRP of £129.99 and a selling price of £124.86.

It's a bit more than we had anticipated, leading us to wonder how many consumers will be willing to shell out a pretty big chunk of change for motion controlled gaming. Does it represent adequate value?

That remains to be seen when Kinect ships in November 2010.

The technology is impressive, but I wouldn't pay $150 even if I did want it. The rumored Arcade Slim for $200 would be a better deal with the internal Kinect.

^Internal Kinect? What? How?
 
Re: Kinect Available For Pre-Order From UK Retail Sites

I forget how but there was wan article on it.

^Where? How would that be possible though it would have to have a different design.

Scratch that, my head was completely somewhere else. I'm confusing it with the Kinect port. :lol:

I thought for sure you were onto something Scott, I think maybe the arcade will come with the kinnect.

As a bundle with an increased price tag, I'm sure. I really can't imagine Microsoft selling an Arcade Slim & Kinect bundle for $200, too good of a deal to be true. Plus it would make the Kinect as a standalone pointless at $150 when the bundle would only be $50 extra.

Oh, that's true. But the arcade doesn't come with a hard drive does it?

The original doesn't and I doubt the Slim will. For $200 they'd have to cut something out of there, but it would have the internal memory unit (450MB I think) which would be more than enough for game saves.

Yeah that's not a bad deal, I'm just going to get the Xbox 360 slim, not Kinect or Xbox 720.
