The XBox 360 Kinect

There has been a ton of hype about the new Xbox 360 Kinect which was formerly known as Project Natal. With the new debut of this device by Microsoft many people are wondering where they can get one and what the price will be. The price really depends on where you buy it and what kind of deal you can get.

There are all kinds of Xbox games that will work with this new Kinect system and one of my favorites has been the racing games. You can even get other people involved by helping to change a tire in the pit stops. The trivia games have also been a huge hit by allowing up to 4 people to play at the same time and the system will recognize each of their faces. With both voice recognition and facial recognition the Kinect has been blowing away the competition.

With the Nintendo Wii becoming so popular it was not long before both Sony and Microsoft came up with their own devices that got the gaming users more involved with entire body motions. PlayStation has already come up with a version of the Wii controllers, but Microsoft decided to go in an entirely different direction by getting rid of the controller completely. Having no controller really opens up an entire realm of gaming opportunities, not to mention that you will not have to worry about batteries going bad.

You will be able to find the Xbox 360 Kinect at stores like Gamestop, BestBuy or Eb Games, but some online stores will have it as well. Buying from Amazon or Ebay will give you even better prices, but when you buy anything from these places after the Kinect has just come out you will probably pay a premium. If you are willing to be patient you can get a better price, but if you want to be the first on the block to have it then you will have to be prepared to pay a premium.
