From the source it seems like MS think they can get away with selling it for that price - so are doing so.
Really, the EU in general has bought a lot this generation if you consider the prices that have been charged, so I don't think it will make a big difference betwenn £100 and £130. It's just MS, like eveyone else, milking us as much as they can.

would anyone here buy the 360 kinect bundle to replace their old 360 if it breaks down? a 4gb console, i mean if a customer goes and see a ps3 for 300$(the white is going to be at 360 gb, dont know if its coming to the us or not, the normal one is how much 160 gb, 120 gb?) a x360 for 300$(250 gb) and a x360(4gb) with kinect what are they going to choose? if they feel like buying a hard drive then it will be the one with kinect, but are people willing to pay more then 450$?
i don't think so. well you never know most sales are going to be us/uk/europe so anything is possible. will kinect be doomed? it's not doomed, but i already can't find an audience for it, i dont think that gears of war or halo fans will get kinect unless its for their family(a.k.a selnor), and their are two consoles on the market with motion controls and to the casuals the wii is more popular. so if kinect moves hardware it will be taking sales from the wii. i dont see playstation move moving consoles unless it's people who have the wii and they want to upgrade( but thats highley unlikely). |
I would.
Maybe not upon release (none of the initial Kinect games interest me, even at $50), but when that first solid Kinect game is released, I'd rather buy a new bundle with a larger hard drive than pay $150 for a kit.
The only drawback for current Xbox customers in replacing an old Xbox with a new Arcade is that their HDD is incompatible. For those with 20GB or 60GB HDDs (the bulk of 360 SKUs currently in circulation), this may not even be a factor.
As for the HDD/Kinect bundle, it will be priced at $399, not $450.
| kowenicki said: so in the UK KInect with a game is £129.99 (too much, should be £99.99 with a game) Move (for 2) with NO game is £84.98, or £134.96 for the proper experience.
Both similar priced (you need to add a game to MOVE) and too expensive imo. the FULL MOVE experience for two is insanely expensive at £160 if you want a game too.

True, but average consumers are going to see different prices than what you've just said. In reality, Move is going to seem cheaper when it isn't.
Although I only think Move will do well among current PS3 owners.

Its also a rip off on conversion rates. I dont get it: The 360S cost $299 or £199 that means that the $150 kinect should be £99. Is this price confirmed? But on your last point... £40 isnt incredibly steep and we all know they will end up being cheaper... the rrp of full games is more than they sell for too, it is ALWAYS £5 or £10 off. When does anyone ever pay full price for a game anywhere? Oh and the console is £20 more (360S 4gb - £149.99)... not £10 less. The old consoles will be gone by the time this launches. |
£130 is a direct quote from Greenberg; check the link I supplied there.
And I know the fat Arcades will be gone by the time Kinect arrives, but my point is merely that today £120 will get me the 360 console yet in a few months time that same figure won't cover the cost of the 360's new peripheral. Just the perspective a wallet-conscious consumer may take.

The price is about where it was predicted to be recently.
But much higher than what was speculated last year.
My guess is that after the initial surge, this could be a problem to move -- particularly if the quality is not there (which there seems to be varied opinions regarding right now).
Also, what is unclear is whether you will need an extra add-on patch cord for older model Xbox 360s. That's another $40.

PR is out the door....
Face the future.. Gamecenter ID: nikkom_nl (oh no he didn't!!)
The Good: $300 Kinect/360 Bundle. Sounds like a holiday winner to me.
The Bad: $150 Kinect Package. Not seeing much from this one.
The Ugly: Why are peripherals so darn expensive (for every camp?)? 
EDIT: Oh, the PR is here already (nice usage of Wii Fit 
). We'll see how it shapes up this holiday season.
Price Table wars incoming.

I hadn't realized WiiFit was necessary for multiplayer on the Wii.
