Kinect price permanently dropped in US to $110
Kinect has had its price permanently dropped in the US to $109.99. There will be also a permanently reduced price applied in Latin America and Asia Pacific regions where Kinect is sold. Additionally, on October 4, the Kinect sensor will be available for a permanently reduced price in Australia and New Zealand. “The final retail price will vary in each region based on the currency and other variables,” notes Major Nelson. There are no price drop plans for EMEA and Japan.

@drew; True but some people may not want to upgrade, either cause they tired of always buying new systems or cash might be tight on them, so the lower something like kinect goes the better it is for them.

Remember when it was revealed that making one Kinect costs 50$ and that Microsoft made a 100$ profit on each Kinect?. Gotta respect them though for decreasing their profit to 59$ instead.
Remember:
Sarcasm is the ability to insult idiots* without them recognizing it.
