It’s one step closer guys! Microsoft has named Project Natal as Kinect. Kinect for Xbox 360 is soon coming to rock your world of gaming with controller-free environment. Microsot Kinect for Xbox 360 may be available as soon as November this year. Now that’s not soon enough for gaming enthusiasts but then you’ll have it by Christmas guys!
Microsoft reealed the Kinect last night at an event before the official start of E3. Some of the games demoed during the announcement included – Star Wars, Tiger petting (yeah!). Apart from this Microsoft also showed off a video chat application for Kinect. There were Wii-like sports games as well like volleyball and soccer.
Microsoft did not reveal two most important specs here – price and date. Still Microsoft’s UK website seemed to have given a hint of a November release. Kinect looks exactly the same as it looked during the Project Natal announcement. There were rumors regarding change in form factor to match it with the slimmer version of Xbox 360.
With everything just in place for Microsoft’s Kinect it’s going to be interesting to see how they set the price for Kinect. In my opinion a sub $150 could do wonders. Or if Microsoft is bold enough may be even a sub $100 price for bulk selling and keeping a smaller margin for profits. We have our eyes open guys! Bring it on…
Update: Seems like someone at GameStop was in a bit of hurry. They had mistakingly published the Kinect for Xbox 360 product page on their website listing the price as $150. So there you have it, Kinect will be priced at $150. I still feel the sub $100 price was a perfect must-buy for this fall.
