Walmart lists $200 Kinect bundle
Live in the US and want to spend more money on Kinect then just $150? Today’s your lucky day, lad.
Walmart has listed a bundle for the 360 motion camera – featuring the tech, a choice of two out of six titles such as Kinectimals, Dance Central, Joy Ride and more, as well as a $30 eGift card – for $199.
The bundle’s pricing suggests Kinect will indeed be priced at $150, as previously suggested, when it’s sold separately this November.
No official cost has been announced yet, but Microsoft Germany has said details will be confirmed at gamescom next month.
Kinect launches on November 4 in the US, with no specific date for Europe confirmed. Expect that, however, to be announced in Cologne next month too.
Thanks, Kotaku.

Better then one oversized camera every house mom and 10 and under kid are obsessing over.
I am a 360 Owner but I really do not see why I need to buy one, only interesting thing for it is Dance Central, everything else is shovelware.

So…if two games cost $50.00 each that would possibly make the camera worth 100.00? This is starting to bring the price of Kinect down to a reasonable level. However it seems that Kinect should be including at least one game set anyways so we may still be at the $150.00 level.

@3 only if it stops you being able to put game discs in your xbox.

but @ that price, i could buy a 60gb 360 & a 3 month gold sub, or an arcade& a 1 year gold sub, no perephial should cost more than the system & camera tracking tech is very limited right now so i already had low expectations for this
the go was meant those who were new to the psp, it very cleary said it’ll not support umd & that there is a current alternative, but the current price on it is horrible, as is kinect’s

Add 100$ and buy X360 bundle and give it away to a poor kid on the street and you will be more happy than come home and realize Kinect games are just a piece of shit.

Is Kinect going to come with a game bundled a la the Wii with Sports?
