It looks like HMV have let slip Kinect’s UK release date. Following Microsoft’s announcement of a retail price point of £129.99 for Kinect in the UK, exactly when we would see the fabled destroyer of controller-based gaming was kept close to their chest. However, according to a listing on HMV’s online store, Kinect will be available for the aforementioned price as of 19th November 2010 in time for the Christmas shop and will be bundled with Kinect Adventures.
As long as this doesn’t turn out to be an admin fail, this means that we will see Kinect about two weeks after the announced November 9th North American release. Because everyone knows America gets first dibs on new stuff.

will TSA be doing a hands-on demo of Kinect? I can imagine it will be pretty hard to do being hands free and everything :)

Sometimes i try to imagine what it would be like if Sony had come up with Kinect.
…and all i can imagine is ridicule.

Yes, they did, which would make the ridicule worse.if they came up with Kinect now, everyone would be like: “Sony does not learn from their past mistakes”
i am a loyal Playstation fan, but if Sony would have developed kinect, i would cry out “fail”.
