Kinect hits UK stores : Prices compared

Microsoft’s long awaited motion controller, the Kinect, has finally touched down on UK shores. A motion sensor that tracks 48 joints on your body, there’s no longer a need for buttons or control sticks to play games, instead with the movements of your body dictating the action.

It’s definately going to be at the top of plenty of Christmas lists this festive season, so we thought we’d do a quick round up of the cheapest offers we’ve found so far.

But hurry, reports are coming in that Kinect units are selling like hot cakes. Get in early to avoid dissapointment.

However, do a search for Kinect over at eBay.co.uk and some auctions are finishing for as little as £114, with a £5 delivery cost putting the total price at around £119. Shop around on there and a bargain could await you.
