£124.86

There's no way i will pay that. You can nearly get a wii for that.

[matt_mr2t]

Have you got a 360?

[Joey]

It'll be interesting to see how good Kinect actually is when it's released. For 125 quid it'd need to be damn impressive.

[matt_mr2t]

I can't see it being a success.

Xbox 360 + Kinect = expensive.

Wii = not expensive.

Will there really be a difference? Will the generally more adult core of Xbox 360 owners take to the idea of waving their arms about? I'm not sure.

[mikee66]

Have you got a 360?

yeah course, i have a 250Gb super elite and a spare arcade just incase

[matt_mr2t]

I thought you were a PS3 man

Never mind. Anyway, forget Kinect, I'm strangly lusting after the new model 360 on it's way out even though I have a perfectly functioning original console already.

[mikee66]

I thought you were a PS3 man

i have both

[matt_mr2t]

Ah yes, I remember now.

What's the crack with the PS3 wand thing?

Given that MS haven't actually announced a price for Kinect yet, that site is nothing more than a guess and is about as accurate as me saying it'll cost £109.95, i.e. not very accurate at all.

Ummmm... No. That's the US price, which may or may not bear any relation to the UK price.

Just like all games have a retail price of £59.99 on xbox.com (or atleast they used too).

Nope, im afraid youll have to wait untill they actually make an announcement before you try and drag it down the drain!

whats wrong with shopto? I get a a fair few games there.

if it's $149.99 in the Us then it's gonna be about the same here i'm afraid.

imo unles its WELL under £100 it's gonna fail big time!

[SamUK]

Might be a good shop but hardly a source for breaking news!


Even with the dodgy game line up its got some awesome reviews. As much as you guys dont like them, motion control is coming and its gonna be huge this xmas.

[JohnnyC]

motion control is coming and its gonna be huge this xmas.

No it's not.

[DannyN]

motion control is coming and its gonna be huge this xmas.

Wow major 2006 flashback !!

[H3RB]

Ummmm... No. That's the US price, which may or may not bear any relation to the UK price.

well i some how doubt its going to be half the us price over here i was linking to it because mike666's price from shopto seems about right if the us price is $149...
so its going to be between £100 and £150.... which is way too much ps move will be about the same but then again both will be a novelty for 6months then end up half price lol

WRONG AGAIN. (read the text under the photo of it)

Offical price has not been announced 149.99 is an estimate only and subject to change.

[matt_mr2t]

motion control is coming and its gonna be huge this xmas.

No it's not.

Agreed. The only thing that'll be huge this christmas will be my belly.

Why? Is that when the best selling console ever which everyone doubted came out?

Talking about the wii if you hadnt guessed.


MS have released no official price in the US or UK. Every site that has the price up merely has it as a place holder.

Ummmm... No. That's the US price, which may or may not bear any relation to the UK price.

Kinect allows 4 players. 4 players with move would set you back about as much as the PS3 does today. Probably more.

And when the games coming out are mostly party style games (at the moment), your gonna want those 4 controllers.

The move is a rip off if kinect launches at £200.
