Microsoft have just announced the pricing for Kinect here in the UK. There’s two bundles – a console, Kinect and Kinect Adventures for £249.99 and without the console for £129.99.

“Get all of your controller-free entertainment in one complete package,” says the press release. “This includes the all-new Xbox 360 4GB console, the revolutionary Kinect sensor and the Kinect Adventures game.  In Kinect Adventures, you’ll get to navigate roaring rapids and mountain-top obstacle courses, and experience numerous other adventures in exotic locations.”

More than 15 games will be available at launch – Kinect games, including Kinectimals, Kinect Sports and Kinect Joy Ride, will retail for £39.99.

“Kinect for Xbox 360 offers fantastic new ways to be entertained for the whole family,” said Chris Lewis, vice president, Interactive Entertainment Business at Microsoft Europe. “With full body, voice and multiplayer play straight out of the box, Kinect is a unique way for everyone to enjoy controller-free fun and entertainment.”

  1. £130 quid is taking the ultimate piss, cash n burn I say! Yes I said cash not crash

  2. YOU LOSE.

    • I’m running out of Mortal Kombat references.

      • But they’ve been fun whilst it lasted. :-)

      • Playstation Move, FINISH HIM.

  3. ROFLCOPTER £20 more and I can get a Wii, we all know what the Wii’s like

  4. Is this a 4gb Xbox slim? or A 4gb old style xbox360?

  5. That is going to be a hard sell, 130 quid plus 40 for a game is too much for casual gamers imho.

    • don’t forget the potential extra hundred and something for the console…

  6. MS targeting the casual market there…

  7. that is shockingly poor if I’ve read it correctly. £250 for a 4GB 360 with kinect. Same price as a 250G PS3 isn’t it? Makes no sense. You would also have to spend £100 to get a decent hard drive.

    Am I missing something here?

  8. 249.99 for xbox plus kinect is a much more attractive price than 399.99 for ps3 plus Move..clever barstewards.

    • But the hard drive is 60X larger, you get a Blu-Ray player and lets face it, a far better console and besides the Xbox does this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdOjzuJByXg
      My 1CM memory card has twice the memory of that Console, WTF Microsoft, could you not spend another £5 on a slightly bigger memory?!?

      • sure, but new/casuals won’t know/realise that.

      • It might be more attractive to buy over a PS3, but no one in their right mind would buy a PS3 just for Move… Also there’s something called a Nintendo Wii right? Well thats at least £100 less than the Xbox.. I doubt casuals will be rushing out and buying a new xbox + kinect anytime soon..

  9. Well I think it’s fair to assume Microsoft have just shot themselves in the face…XD

    • they’re gonna need one large gun for all those faces…unless Bill decides to take one for the team :)

  10. Cheeky sods!!! It’s $150 which would be 116 Euros or 98 Pounds.

    • Have discovered that the US sales price doesn’t include VAT etc. so that explains that.
