Kinect for Xbox 360 Will Cost $150, Game Included

Microsoft’s Kinect motion peripheral for Xbox 360 (formerly called Project Natal) will cost $150 at retail on its own, and $300 bundled with a 4 GB Xbox 360 slim console. Both will launch November 4 with the Kinect Adventures suite of casual motion games included.

This price is unsurprising since numerous retailers and e-tailers, including Microsoft’s own online store, have listed Kinect for $149 at one time or another. The bundle is no surprise either, and in fact, it’s very good news. The 4 GB Xbox 360 Slim fills in for the hard drive-less Xbox 360 Arcade model, which was never an attractive proposition for gamers.

Kinect and the Xbox 360 Slim were formally announced at the E3 video game conference in Los Angeles last month.

Since Kinect Adventures comes bundled with all Kinect devices just like Wii Sports comes with the Nintendo Wii, families and individuals will be able to pick up and play without investing in new games. Once those consumers start itching for more, though, most of the games for Kinect will cost $50 — $10 less than “core gamer” titles like Halo Reach or Call of Duty: Black Ops. That includes third-party titles like MTV Games’s Dance Central, which we previewed at E3.

EEDAR analyst Jesse Divnich notes that $150 is fair since game-specific peripherals with much more limited uses are already selling like hotcakes at the same price. “Game specific peripherals have a limited shelf-life in terms of appeal; there are only so many sessions of Guitar Hero one can enjoy before game fatigue sets in,” he says. “With the Kinect, however, there is the possibility of a wide array of games across a broad range of genres, potentially giving the Kinect a much longer shelf-life than a typical peripheral.”

New HALO : Reach Xbox to Sport 360 Design, Custom Sound

Microsoft will release a limited-edition Xbox 360 console themed around Halo: Reach this fall, it said Thursday night at Comic-Con International.
The Halo-inspired Xbox will be released on the same day as the new shooter, Sept. 14. It will have all the bells and whistles of the recently released Xbox 360 redesign, from built-in Wi-Fi to a 250-gigabyte hard drive. A new paint job and custom sounds trick out the machine with Halo flair. Bundled with two similarly customized controllers and a copy of the game, the package will cost $400.
Halo: Reach is the hotly anticipated next installment in Microsoft’s key game series. The first-person shooter serves as a prequel to the events of the original Halo.
Bungie and Microsoft say that they spent a great deal of time adorning the limited-edition box with visual and audio references to the world of Halo.
“We used the ONI as the backdrop for the console,” said Bungie designer Jim McQuillan to Wired.com in an exclusive pre-show interview. McQuillan was referring to the shadowy Office of Naval Intelligence, a key part of the fiction of the popular shooter series.


Players should think of the console as a real-life version of an in-game artifact, “the archive reader for the last remaining days of Reach,” said McQuillan. “We wanted something that felt high-tech, something that you would see rows and rows and racks of in a military installation.”
The console will appear inside the game, said Microsoft industrial designer Claire Gerhardt. “You have this console in your living room and then you go through the levels and you see it in a lab,” she said. “It’s badass.”
The sounds that the machine makes are also cued to the Halo world. For instance, when you press the disc eject button, you hear the sound of the Spartan character’s energy shields charging up — music to the ears of any Halo player.
The limited-edition Xbox also has a surprising custom paint job, says Gerhardt.
“One thing that’s interesting that you can’t see in any photography is that the console is painted with two different shades of gray,” she said. “Depending on how you hold the console, the metallic finish, the grays kind of shift.”
