Kinect-less Xbox One for $399 announced, releasing June 9th.

I was confident this was going to happen eventually. I didn't buy the original kinect for 360 or the PS move for PS3 since I had no use for them and didn't want it. I already own a PS4 myself and now that Microsoft is releasing a kinect-less Xbox one since I refused to buy a kinect bundle since I would have no use for it I may actually pick one up eventually after another price drop or 2 and when lots of exclusive games are out.

From a consumer standpoint, this is great. Does anyone actually use Kinect?

From a developer standpoint, though, this is going to hurt. As much as Kinect might be reviled, it is nice from a developer's perspective to be able to know what hardware the end user is going to have available. By doing this, they've just cut Kinect out of the picture even further, because we're right back to the XBOX 360 days of developers not being able to bank on everyone having one, and therefore being more hesitant to develop for them.

I guess developers said they are too stupid/lazy/cheap to think about some bigger uses for it in games, so they won't support it, so there's no reason to keep it.

LOL I thought that they said that this was never going to happen
HAHA I suppose they lied again XD

Just wondering, how much is it with kinect? Because here it is $905 so I'm wondering if it will really change its price.

Guess they found a better way to install government spyware.

And it's still too expensive here in Mexico to even consider

Oh, my. Who would have thought?

Wow. Well , they had to do it. Even though they said it will never happen . :p

Less regional pricing would still be better. In Germany (550$) or the UK (590$) the Xbox One without Kinect is still more expansive than the Titanfall bundle is in the US(~500$) ...

This version is called the Number Two :)

Itss super funny because 1saleaday has had the one on sale multiple times for 399....

Xbone couldn't be that cheap that I would buy one. All good games are also on PC and their exclusives don't interest me. And their politics are much worse than EA.
