Microsoft Kinect gets US price, costs as much as an Xbox 360

The US price of the Kinect Xbox 360 motion-sensing add-on has been outed over at the Microsoft Store. The good news is that American readers can pre-order their unit now. The bad news is, it isn’t going to come cheap.

$149.99 (circa £100) will bag you a Kinect unit, which is just a little less than a brand new Xbox 360 Arcade console.

No word yet on a UK price, but it doesn’t bode well for those counting the pennies.
