First off, the only extra thing you need for the Kinect with an old 360 is the external power supply thats included with the Kinect.
Secondly, its not an MS product, the price is ridiculous but if this is meant to be a "lol lemmings gettin milked lololol thread" its pretty weak.
Edit: But ofc this being SW people will come in, read the OP's misleading post and next thing we know there'll be dozens of "lol Kinect costs 200 dolla cos it needz extention cablez" threads.
lol at all the people that actually think that Kinect for 150 wont be shipped without a cord that will work. Laughable at how people are grasping at straws trying to discredit Kinect.
[QUOTE="wolverine4262"]its an extension cable. MEANING, you dont need it unless the distance from the console to the device is far...KevinButlerVP
http://www.joystiq.com/2010/06/14/original-xbox-360-requires-separate-power-for-kinect/ it seems this is the "separate power brick" they are talking about WOW. You couldnt be more wrong. The extra cable required for older consoles is INCLUDED with kinect. ALSO, its pretty obvious by looking at the pic that the male end is compatible with the female end. This makes sense b/c its an EXTENSION CABLE!
I'm really sure they care more about charging $50 for a cheap part than getting more people to buy Kinect. If they wanted $50 more revenue with each Kinect purchase, they would have charged $50 more for the camera.

I don't think it's required. This is a link I've found and it talks about it allowing for dual-band wifi connection. Best thing we can do is wait for the product details to show up on the gamestop page since it gives no information at all besides price.

yup, that is why I said I was not sure if you need this to play it on the original 360. I was just pointing out that it is listed for 50$
While this extension cable thing obviously isn't a necessary purchase for anyone, the thing to take away from this (if the price listed is accurate) is that MS is charging $50 for a cable that probably cost them about 50 cents.
EDIT: Actually it's made by PDP. But would anyone put it past MS?

it looks like owners of the old 360 might have to pay 50$ for an extension cable to play Kinect, thats a lot of money extra on top of 150$ bringing the total to 200$ for people who own the regular 360. not sure if this is true, but so far that is what it looks like with the extension cable http://www.gamestop.com/Catalog/ProductDetails.aspx?product_id=78197KevinButlerVP
Looks like you need a charging station for the PS3 Move
