Shocked they are keeping the Wifi in this. That thing should do very well come August. The only thing is they say they are not putting the 250gb stand alone HDD on the market. I mean they got to put some kind of upgrade offer with just 4gb.
$150 ain't cool even with Kinect Adventures. Had it been Dance Central I may have been a bit more forgiving. Still getting it as a gift so I'll take the game at least.

lulz 'official', you watch MS drop the price overnight just before launch day, even after every single retailer in the country prices it at $150

Its like they're copying Nintendo but have learned nothing from them.

4 gb is quite different from the old school arcade. I see this pushing units, the kinect bundle makes a lot of sense for people not into online/traditional gaming, especially with the "free" game.DaBuddaDa said:

I mean seriously, the only game that looks even remotely engaging that hasn't been offered somewhere else, and possibly better, is Dance Central. To charge that king of price for the unit alone is ludicrous.

The image of the 360 arcade looks like it's matte but I think that's just how the photo and shop edit was taken.

The standalone price is way too much, but the bundled console price is actually pretty decent.
Awesome. They just officially handed Nintendo the holiday season once again. I'd expect the Wii to drop to $150 sometime before this hits as Nintendo finally stomps on the throat of this generation (DS systems will price drop too). The NPD top 20 for November and December (maybe even October if they do it before then) will include 15 games for Nintendo systems.
This will be the holiday season they put Microsoft and Sony out of their misery for the generation (because new system rumors will start flying next year).

Agreed, the standalone price is a bit too high, but that $300 bundle will make a killing.

So no HDD to upgrade to for the Arcade either :/

Ok, spin doctor fanbot here :
Kinect aimed for multiplayer (2 people) with game, Total = £130
Move for 2 people =
PlayStation Move Motion Controller & Eye Camera = £50
PlayStation Move Navigation Controller X 2 = £50
2nd PlayStation Move Motion Controller = £35
Move Game = £40
Total = £175
Kinect is cheaper *coolface.jpg*

Price expected but fuu- that's expensive No buy for me... at least not at launch. Move I'll get at launch though just for one, then add second one later.

That isn't a fair comparison.
The Wii comes with two good games.
It's a placeholder price or obviously a fake price to surprise people later with how cheap it is, you don't get anything of market strategies (.cit)......oh wait it's official announcement :lol
Btw there's nothing to say, it's definetly expensive and I don't think many people will upgrade to this outside of the launch window. The Arcade bundle is too expensive for the casuals, but it sounds a good deal for core gamers willing to upgrade to a Slim and to try Kinect (if they can put their old hard drive at no cost).
Edit: LOL you can't even upgrade the drive drive....so they really believe that their core gamers audience will spend 150$ for Kinect.

Well, PS Move offers cheaper games. So you'll be paying less for Move in the end.

Nav controller is optional (you can use the DS3 instead), and the Move Controller and Eye Camera bundle already includes a game (Sports Champions). Nice try though!

£130 is just ridiculous.

You have to wonder why they would price this so high. Meh, I'm not interested anyways.

Are any move games played online?
$299 is a bit steep price of entry, heck they had their "casual SKU" positioned at $199 in 2008 and two years later after hardware revision it's $100 more. I was honestly considering Kinect for Dance Central, it would be a big hit at parties, but at $149 MS can forget about the whole thing.

I used to think Eyetoy was too expensive. Now it looks like a downright bargain.

They are saying you can upgrade the unit they just aren't selling the HDD's yet. They can start anytime they want which is stupid.

But with Kinect you're only buying Dance Central and never using it again. You'll probably be buying a few games for the Move as Sony support it with "hardcore" games.
Move is clearly the more expensive option.
