The Kinect included is a deal. The 360 Kinect alone iwas $150 when I bought it and it sucks compared to the Kinect 2. If you look at that way, you are only paying $350 for the xbox one which is cheaper than the PS4.

That $100 dollars gets you a better:
online service
hundreds of thousands of servers to support cloud and xbox live
The far superior Kinect 2 over the Playstation eye

What's not to love?

Should they have a Kinectless xbox one? maybe

The reason Kinect is part of the system is because of unified game and software development. Which over all simplifies game development and we can get bigger and better games in less time at least that is what is hoped.


It amazes me how people are blind to all the benefits

It's ADDITIONAL hardware, it shouldn't be forced on you to buy thats classic microsoft scheme bullshit to make more money, I've said it tons of times if X1 made a version without Kinect for $400 I'd buy the X1.

Nike + Kinect Trainer is just amazing in terms of fitness, it really works great. I went back to Skyrim and now it has integration with Kinect Voice Recognition and just made the game so great. I specially love the Dragon Shouts, it's pretty cool shouting to screen and watch everybody get knock the f out Cool Very Happy


Yeah I was thinking of getting the Nike Trainer, looks good. I'll give it a go. I still play Skyrm and probably still will be even after The Elder Scrolls Online is released on the xbox one but have yet to try the Kinect shout features mainly because when I play Skrym, it is usually pretty late at night and I don't want to wake everyone up lol

I still feel weird talking to the xbox but it's funny because I do the same with with smart phones and computer all the time.

The kids love the Kinect! That's where it is used the most here. This especially true when friends and family visit. They stay entertained for hours and get plenty of exercise in the process. Don't forget there are a bunch of free Kinect games on xbox live made for the kids and ma do the kids love those free games. Save some money while the kids have fun for hours lol

That's all well and good, however, there is unquestionably a good deal here. Like I said, 'maybe' they should release a version without Kinect but then if you wanted the Kinect later you would have to pay more for it then so be it. Also developers would not know if they could take advantage of the Kinect CPU in your game as it can be used in a myriad of ways if the Kinect was there. How would the xbox one know if you are dying on your couch? Laughing

Your point is well taken that you want the option on whether or not to buy a Kinect. That is not a point as regards to whether or not the Kinect is worth $100 because the Kinect is absolutely worth more than $100.
