Current Kinect pricing is a marketing scheme!

Or, $150 is the high end they are considering, and they are seeing how it goes.  It is a TEST run at marketing, to get feedback, more than some master scheme.  I would also believe there HAS to be at least one game bundled, if not two games, because Microsoft now tends to bundle two games with their systems.  The Sports and Adventure games feel very much like Bundle games for me.   One would then see sequels a few years from now.  Shoot, the Adventure game has the breakout game in it, which is a tipoff for me.  You don't mention them as bundle games, so that people think of them as full price games.

They often bundle two games but not two brand new games. A simple and cheap option would be to add Kinect support to an old game like Forza 3 and bundle that.

Anyhow, I presume they'll be bundling some sort of mini game collection like Wii Sports. But both Kinect Sports and Kinect Adventures are available for pre-order. So I'm curious to see if they have something else planned for bundling or if one of those games will be bundled.
