This WILL be a flop, I can't see many people spending extra on a pointless add-on with rubbish games. Unless Sony do something radical with Move tomorrow then it looks like PC Gaming will be resurrected...
I'm thinking that MS maybe have not released a price yet as they want to see the feedback (Backlash?) from the E3 brief. If they have any sense, they will sell this kit for sub £100, becuase the launch games are NOT for the guys who already own the system.
And I can't see it taking in too many new customers.
Um you mgiht want to change this... It's £199.99 for the new XBOX 360 not the Kinect.. Looks like the Kinect will prob settle for £99.99 here if not a little lower...More than likely with one game bundled I reckon.
Hohoho. That Play price sounds very much like a ME FIRST! ME FIRST! effort.
They waited for the Kinetic announcement and stuck a healthy pre order price on there (as in "f**k it, if they charge double what the yanks get then we can comfortably start out with that as an estimate".
It'll probably end up £130 or thereabouts in the UK, then when they sell f**k all units due to a TERRIBLE "Wii too" opening line up they'll reduce it to around £100 and with the first crop of decent third party games on the horizon it'll start selling to more hardened gamers.
A decent bundle with the new slim xbox for about £250 would sell a frankly f**king ridiculous amount of units.
Just watched the aftershow interview over on GTTV and they are stating that the price wont be revealed until nearer launch (Nov). Plenty of time to understand they cant sell it for £150 .
nice one for the correction people. thought that sounded a bit much.
back to 150 it is.
strewth!!
nice mass market price there.
Nice one ste hicky.
As I say - new SKU at £200, Kinetic at £100, combo pack £250 and a set of DECENT Kinetic games would have fanboys and newbies (as well as a few curious PS3 owners) buying like hot cakes.
i think CVG made that mistake on purpose, has anyone else noticed the sony fanboys poulouting this site today? and you shuf of heard the vile things sony fanboys were saying on the stream i was watching on ustream, it f**king disgusted me
oh i wish i was 10. then i could spend the next 8 years taking the p**s out of the dumb rich kid who spanks £200 on a kinetic to play a couple of new games. ha ha mel b w****r
That £199 will include a slim. The clue is in the title
Likewise thevlim will sell for the same price as a regular 360. I.e. £169 ish for a core as confirmed by the press conference. That pitches kinect at about £50 for retro fit
Holy hell, it's like they WANT it to be a flop... Seriously, 200 quid? I'd rather have a colonic.
Its £200 for an Xbox 360 Slim, not Kinect which will be approx £100. The title of the thread is misleading, probably deliberately so in order to encourage flame wars and even more tedious slagging off of Kinect.
Regardless of price(£200?),you only have to look at the demonstration videos to see noticable lag between input and on-screen action and the star wars video has the avatar move before the "player" even moves!Besides control issues the lined up games so far appear appalling.I was kind of looking forward to this new peripheral but I can't see it becoming an essential part of the 360 experience.I wonder what the Kinect does to notify the user of hardware failure?I hope Move isn't a let-down aswell.
Play has dated it for £200 Whats that s**t your smoking? And you have linked a 360 slim for £199. I think you are either stoned or p**sed
you really are wanting to become the biggest sony douche on this site arnt you GROW THE f**k UP ITS A GAMES CONSOLE, and this is a mistake there is no price for kinnect yet, this is the price for the slim
you really are wanting to become the biggest sony douche on this site arnt you GROW THE f**k UP ITS A GAMES CONSOLE,
I take it you only own a 360. take abit of criticism for your beloved console. At least the 360 slim is looking very tasty and at a great price. But even dedicated fanboys have to admit M$ have done the worst conference out of both Nintendo and Sony combined.

Let me get this straight if you are very underwhelmed by todays shockingly bad show your a Sony Fanboy? Your looking forwards to the dance game each for there own.

and only_77 stop your flaming
It needs to be around £70 including a game. It looks like fail anyway but a £100+ price tag and its fate is sealed.
I'd hardly call that flaming, thats an opinion. Something these forums are filled with.
i own both a 360 and ps3 and nintendo ds and psp, and im just sick of you being so sure about stuff you hardly know anything about, microsoft have put a lot of hardwork in too natal and you are just dissing it because its not got the sony nametag on it
and im just sick of you being so sure about stuff you hardly know anything about, microsoft have put a lot of hardwork in too natal
I watched the E3 conference and that pretty much speels out the future of Kinect. Everyone has seen it for themselves. Wake up and see the future of gaming jumping on river rapids
Explain this then. If Kinect is to be the future of gaming as you seem to believe. Where were the games? I expect Sony t make a mockery of themselves aswell tomorrow.
E3 is going to be won by Nintendo they will over shadow them both. At least Sony and Ninty can't possibly do any worse than M$.
Kinectimal looks brilliant and something that looks to change the way we play games

Face it, the show was a disaster. Everyone across the internet is saying the same thing.
There are some delusional people here.I'm guessing your're young and don't remember the Eyetoy.Kinect gameplay is very Eyetoy like,been there,done that,got bored. The menu stuff will be turned off and you'll go back to a remote once the novelty has gone. It is like the Balance board,it will end up gathering dust used 2 or 3 times a year. Kinectimals is Nintendogs/Eyepet but looks like less of a game than either. This is not fanboyism,it's wisdom.
Only777 - the show went well i thought. Was not amaxing by was solid. Natal looks good, and new features and hardcore games will come out for it. This will do well in my opinion. Sony fanboys should p**s off and go comment on Sony's own conference.

Well if thats what you think, but the rest of the internet thinks that last night was as bad as Sony 2006 clanger. But at least that was funny to watch Sony bomb, MS was just embrassing
I think the multi-media element of kinect is the most exciting but still has it's limitations. Microsoft cannot eliminate the controller because I need one for my TV and i'll need a controller for the non-kinect games i'm about to play. If i'm holding a controller 90% of the time yet I paid £130 for a camera, I may start to resent it pretty quickly. Theres also the aspect that while intuitive, kinect is actually slower to operate seeing as the user must hold his/her hand still for a period in order to register a virtual button press. Furthermore, why isnt this technology being used with windows 7 and windows 7 media centre. I have my PC hooked up to my TV and have a dedicated PC remote. If Microsoft do genuinely have courage in their convictions shouldnt this be used throughout all aspects of their media division. Is this the best most intuitive input device or not? Either way, one party is being short changed. Oh and the games look crap
Did anyone else notice the size of Kinect? it was huge, it looked about the size of a old VHS tape. Certainly cant put that on top of my telly, more like the other way round. Also it needs it's own power source when used with the old Xbox, seems to me it's another rushed to market, off the shelve, unrefined piece of rubbish.
I honestly thought MS was gonna blow me away with this thing. Thought it could read individual fingers. If it was that sensitive why not have the user clench a fist to make a selection instead of hovering over.
I don't actually think it can read 3d space, if it can there was no evidence of it.
Thought they would played chess or something using Kinect to demonstrate how good it was.
