Breaking News: Kinect Price Officially Revealed Popular
   July 20th, 2010 clock image 6:15 pm

Microsoft Kinect After months of seeing the placeholder price tag of $149.95 being thrown around by websites and retailers alike we can finally confirm that the official price just announced by Microsoft is $149.95.

So, no surprise there and Microsoft obviously feel that the Internet backlash to that price tag is an acceptable price to pay and that the mainstream are going to be happy paying for it.

The Kinect system will come bundled with Kinect Adventures when it releases later this year. So what do you think? Too much? Just right?

Let us know in the comments.

Local Kinect + Xbox 360 S Pricing


  • evilredzombie

    Bit high… Compared to move

  • http://www.designwave.co.za Nick de Bruyne

    I think this was a bad move, if they want the Kinect to be in every home then they should have made it cheaper.

  • M@GE

    Hmmmm…. I think it’s *just* right. Pretty much nearly the same prices:

    Kinect: $149.99 (2 players)
    Move: 2x $49.99 + 2x $29.99 (attachment) = $159.96 (2 players)

    Compared:

    $149.99 — $159.96

  • M@GE

    @ Nick: I agree with you, yes if it was cheaper, more people would buy it. BUT, then again, if they made it cheaper, they wouldn’t make any profit.

    Cause it’s not that cheap to make them.

  • M@GE

    Oh, forgot to add the PS-Eye price as well….

    $32.82 (Amazon.com pricing)

    So add that up with the Move…. For 2 players: $192.78

  • ewie

    well it is $100 + $50 for the game.

    seems like a good deal, hopefully it is only R1500
    in south africa.

    And I will buy it day 1 – even thought i would not be able to use it, but the kids and wife would love it.

  • Gnarkill
  • RSA-Ace

    You don’t HAVE to buy the sub controllers though. They are just one handed dualshock 3 controllers. You can always just use you normal controller.

  • RSA-Ace

    Can’t believe they ended up going for $149. $50 more and you can get a whole console…

  • http://www.lazygamer.co.za Geoffrey Tim

    Guess what I won’t be getting till the price drops?

  • Fox1

    I can’t believe it’s going to be R2000!!!! :cwy:

    Guess I could get some real gym equipment for R2000 :lol:

  • Fox1

    Me toooo… but I know my sister will get it for the little ones who always wanted a Wii but have a xbox

  • Maxiviper

    Bastards. man, so annoyed by all these awesome games and motion controllers and a new xbox 360 coming out end of year. And I’m flat broke. It ain’t fair :sad:

  • AC!D

    WOW so they are charging us $250 for Kinect and Americans almost half that :lol:

  • http://www.onelargeprawn.co.za onelargeprawn

    Dude, I’m totally not getting this!

  • Ryan

    Too expensive….

  • Al360rulz
