If this is true i'm officially selling my 360, what a complete rip-off. For the same money they could sell the first 10 million(!!) Kintect bundles for $99. If Microsoft is really this stupid, i don't want anything to do with it.

I'm sorry but that's truely an idiotic argument.  Every game and every product has a marketing budget.  As stated in this thread Sony's overall marketing budget is over 5 billion a year, with that money they could give away 16 million PS3s a year!   Are you giving back your PS3 too since you had to pay for it when Sony clearly has the cash to give you a free one?

That budget is for all of Sony's products.And Sony sold the PS3 at a loss for many years, so that's not a good comparison.

Personally i'm what they call an early adaptor, i usually buy these kind of things day one. Now Microsoft is going to rip-off their loyal customers who buy these things first by letting them pay a premium price so they can finance their marketing budget, and we all now how good that marketing turned out for their Zune mediaplayer and Kin phone(disscontinued after 6 weeks!).

Alot of people have been saying Kinect is overpriced and this proves it.
