Machiavellian said: True, MS never said whether you get the dev unit or not but can we all agree that the retail unit will not have a alpha version. Could it be that MS is willing to take a hit on alpha units in order to get a lot of devs out there using it. Also the device will not be out for over a year, and you have given MS 400 bones up front. By the time the retail unit hit the market, I am sure MS will have cut the cost and thus the hit would be less. I believe the key here is still you are giving MS 400 bones for a device. If you are a developer this is great because you get the alpha and a retail unit when it ships. MS gets input on the alpha and the ability to refine the retail unit and provide either hardware or software change that makes it a more viable device when it hits the market. |
I don't expect the retail Kinect One to cost more than $300 for the end-user... $250 is my bet.
The costs for MS will continue to be below $150.
