We know Microsoft's Kinect is making its way to North America on November 4. Although the device was the main focus of the company's press conference, they never really got around to mentioning how much it'll cost. Yeah, so you noticed too.
Thanks to a slew of listings from GameStop, we have a better idea of what to expect and how much budgeting we'll need to do before November. The retailer lists Kinect at $149.99, Kinect Adventures! at $59.99, and Kinect Sports at $59.99, in addition to a few bundles.
According to GameStop, bundles will be priced like this: Kinect with the Xbox 360 Arcade for $299.99 and Kinect with the Elite for $399.99. I'm personally willing to suck it up, but I kind of have to given this job. Was Microsoft convincing enough for the rest of you?
Update: We've also just learned that you can get this bad boy on November 4th -- just in time to allow your to attempt some physical movement from the couch this Thanksgiving.

"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

The price is waaaaaaaaaaay too much.
Hey M$ don't shoot your idea in the foot with bad pricing. Because that is exactly what you are doing.
Blatant imitation of software never breeds success.
Of course, Sony being Sony, I'm not holding out much hope on their software or and especially not on their price point.
There will certainly be a few fanboys who won't be shaken by that ridiculous price. Not sure why they wouldn't just go buy a Wii...
NO PREORDERS on KINECT
NO PREORDERS on KINECT games that are $59.99
LEGO Harry Potter is coming out this month for $49, there is no way in hell that those KINECT games should be above $39 based on how much each game contains.
Huh, what are you saying? I was pre-ordering Dance Central. :P
Better hold out for some Christmas sales.
As if that'd work, right?
If anything, I'll be getting the Move. My Wii makes for a pretty awkward sex toy.
Although to charge 60 dollars for these games means they must have production values on par with triple A big budget games. These kinetic games are going to be amazing
