Kinect price drops to $110 in US

Still $110 too much.

I keep forgetting Kinect exists.

@PSYCHOV3N0M Firstly you'll notice my sentence which says *most* Xbox 360s, rather than *all*. And secondly, many world-wide markets only give consumers one Xbox 360 option, and those are bundled with Kinect. And as this article is specifying "19 million units *globally*", that makes my comment quite relevant. "Dude".

I can't believe people would actually pay anything for this. Even if this were given to me for free, I could see it instantly becoming a dust magnet and bookstand.

The only thing I would ever use the Kinect for is the voice commands in Skyrim, and only if I were given one for free.

and am still not buying it untill its built into the xbox

Why do console manufacturers get to dictate the price retailers charge for their hardware? If supply and demand were at work Kinect would be selling for $50 and people might care about it and the games that use it.

They waited way too long to do this. Kinect needed a price drop when unit sales started dropping a year or so ago.

Now, what Kinect needs are some compelling 'core games. The Gunstringer and Child of Eden are not enough.

Might entice more people.

"It has sold 19 million units globally as of the end of May 2012"... primarily because people get landed with one when they purchase most Xbox 360s, whether they want it or not. It's like saying Wii Sports is the best-selling game of all time, when it was actually bundled with the Wii.

Kinect technology is compelling, they just have to figure out a way to integrate it that really enhances the experience without being cumbersome. Like voice commands, for instance. Players needn't have to move around their living room for it to be useful.

price cut does not save the hardware, when theres no proper software to make use of it.

I honestly do not care at all.

Piece of junk.

Still way too high of a price. No one wants it MS.

Why would anyone in Europe want to buy the Kinect anymore?

I'm not into the Kinect at all myself and don't have one but I think that completely stinks. The Kinect is more than 40 euros more expensive in Europe now.

No one in Europe should buy the Kinect from now on.

Thats the only thing that would show them.

There are no decent games for it anyway.

pointless no matter how much it costs

Still too much to me.

I need a price drop on the system. My system broke again, and I am not dropping 200 dollars on a system at the end of its life with 4 gb hard drive; honestly all things given its cheaper to get a 160 gig ps3 slim new over a 250 gig slim xbox new, 250 for the former, 300 for the latter.

still overpriced as fvck. Worthless piece of sh1t

I still don't want kinect at $110.00 Microsoft is hoping that their are still a few soccer mom's who haven't bought one for the family.

So now I own a $110.00 paperweight, instead of a $150.00 paperweight. That is GREAT!!!

There are no games to support the purchase of this still.

what a piece of crap

Did it drop in price because it has better feedback now?...Oh, silly me!

What's the extra $10? To offset the money lost in not-genuine Windows OS installations to people who will be crazy enough not to buy one used?

Doesn't it only cost like $50 for Microsoft to produce each Kinect unit? Why the hell hasn't the price dropped more?

Local pawn shop has had one pretty much new in the box for $60 the last couple months, starting to collect dust.

i still wont get it i don't like the games so far

I've seen the Kinect on sale for around $110 to $125 many many times over the last 8 months or so. We got ours for $85 after some coupons and discounts.

MS isn't getting the hint that most gamers don't care about this thing. Then again. why should they? Enough suckers like me bought into it. Too bad supporting betas testing is all we do now. This even applies to broken games.

Wow that things still priced at $150? I thought they dropped the price of it a while ago... Thats rediculous. also thats 2.85 billion in revenue. so the campaign is well paid off.... this thing should be like $80 tops by now....

Yay! Now the $150 tech demo is now a $110 tech demo! WHAT A DEAL!!!!!!

just curious to see how much longer it last before the discard and discontinue the kniect. i don't see why people believe it'll last. remember the eyetoy and ps eye and how they were going to change things.

Sweet! Now I can finally play.... Um... I can play... Kinect Adventures?

nice, 109 more and I may think about getting one.

Wow, Kinect was over priced at launch, but they kept the price too high way too long. It's still too high, but they are trying to push it one more season before they get the HYPE build up for Kinect 2 HD on 720.

Ooh, they'll base it on currency rates? So it'll be cheaper here in Australia than in the US? Oh wait. Other variables? Like how much Microsoft feels like ripping off consumers based on race?

Kinect price = still high -----> People still won't buy Kinect -----> Few people will have Kinect = Few Kinect games is soled and they all suck lollipops.

The new Fable may make me consider a Kinect...maybe lol

Why only $110? Why not to $79.99?

Perhaps when the price drops to $19.99 and they make a real game for it I will buy it. Then again, maybe I won't....
