If you wouldn't mind, let's move this discussion to this thread:

That way we can keep track of all news surrounding the Kinect onference in one place.  =)

Nevermind.  Conference is over, and there wasn't much new information.

As a standalone price, that is perfect, if it comes with 1-2 games...and I'vve been saving $119 since last year.  Wiifit anyone?

Hahaha holy shit, didn't MS learn anything from Sony? If you price things too high nobody will buy them.

If that's the pricing then Natal...err...Kinect will fail as hard as the virtual boy.

If I were them I'd do about $69 for the low end one and $99 for the high end one. Any more than that is no good for the average guy like me.

Exactly What i was expecting, Cant Wait for e3 tomorrow!

Thats what I was going to say lol..

If the lowest price you can get Kinect for (new) is $120 then MS really is just plain stupid.

I have no idea whether this price is true or not, but from this point on is the first time we'll see how the Xbox division is run without its three key people:  Peter Moore, J Allard, and Robbie Bach.  It's all Mattrick now.

Could be good or it could be bad.  Kinect will be the first test.

Yeah i'm not too horribly optimistic anymore though...

Seems way too high to me if they're looking for mainstream acceptance, however I will wait for further confirmation from a more credible source before I think too much on it. 

I might bite for $120 if the games are there, but probably never for $180...

Peter Moore left Microsoft in 2007

J. Allard was working on the courier since 2006

The only one who recently left the division is Robbie Bach - and he will be replaced.
