I wonder if you could just buy the Asus version and plug it into the 360... might be cheaper as Asus is a good manufacturer that will get costs down fast.


Another person who thinks Microsoft bought the entire Kinect peripheral from PrimeSense.

Not only is this missing the RGB camera and microphone array it's missing most of the software that drives Kinect.  The only thing it shares is the depth camera.  PrimeSense has their own body tracking software.

You can read http://www.wired.co.uk/magazine/archive/2010/11/features/the-game-changer to find out more about what PrimeSense's role was with regards to the current Kinect hardware.
