$299 for a bundle - too expensive.

Edit - £129 is actually a disgusting price for the UK, I won't likely be picking one up now, until it's below £100

I agree its a fucking disgrace... how does it get to this price when the 360S is £199.99 v $299.99

a disgrace?  Over react much? No offense but why do gamers always feel so entitled to "free" and "cheap" things.  This has been a problem thats long plagued the industry.  The fact is that Kinect is in no way cheap to manufacture, with the multiple cameras, infa red technology, voice recognition and such no one here should be surprised by the price at all really and I think its very reasonable.  

actually those things are chip, infrared its OLD its precursor to bluetooth, and it uses DIRT CHEAP 1.3mpx CMOS sensor, the ones used in cheap notebooks.
voice recognition is software, ups3 have have 4 way mic array, and better sensor than kinect cost less than 40$
