Any idea how long this will last?

And will Microsoft store pricematch? I have $75 worth of credit there after the app deal last weekend.

Nice find  but I feel like for someone who really wants one ebay would be better deal since they go around $70 on there

Do we think we will ever see a Kinect price cut?  I am surprised we haven't since it was $100 with the system originally..  I am in the rather use my Microsoft gift card $ crowd.

I think this is a sign...

Not a whole lot. At launch a few games tried to integrate kinect experiences (i.e. in Tomb Raider you could turn your body to look across scenic areas or use your hands to turn artifacts, in Alien: Isolation the alien can hear you, Zoo Tycoon has a kinect imams segment, etc.). Most of the features are small & have become less prominent since launch other than simple voice commands.

The most obvious games/programs are dancing (dance central, just dance), exercising (shape up, various fitness programs), & kinect sports. These are solid but nothing new; you'll probably already know whether they interest you.

IMO the best kinect game is Fantasia: Music Evolved. It's a musical rhythm game that uses hand gestures (like a director). Again, solid & fun but not earth shattering. There's also a few indie/cell phone games that work well like Fruit Ninja.

Is it worth $100? For me, yes, because I wanted exercising games & my wife likes Dance Central. However, I can see how others take a pass. The voice commands for navigating/controlling the TV were a welcome surprise though.

Ridiculous that this thing was $150 to begin with. You remove it from the Xbox One and cut $50 off but charge $150 for it separately? Absurd. I'll buy it when it's $50 like it should be.

I was just about to ask this. Do MS games even support it?

 

[imme2007]

$100? Who will pay that? I have one I been trying to sell locally for $60 forever and haven't had one person ask about it

 

[stringycupps1]

Paid $43 for a used one.

I've used it once to tell my XB1 to turn off.

You mean you have to use your hands? That's like a baby's toy.

Backwards compatibility with 360 Kinect games?

No.

I'll wait until it's <$50, that's as much as I'd ever pay to have access to the voice commands.

Try your local Craigslist. I got a second Kinect there for $50.

$100, now I can lean around corners in battlefield!
