Xbox One bundles to release in summer 2014 without Kinect – report

4.5
Xbox One bundles will be made available in summer 2014 without Kinect, according to an anonymous course speaking with Machinima’s Inside Gaming.

The source told the site there will be two bundles made available: a standard bundle without Kinect, and a budget version containing an Xbox One with a smaller hard drive to undercut the price of PS4.

Inside Gaming notes, rightly, that such a report contradicts Microsoft’s assertion that the console won’t function without Kinect installed. If it will work without the camera, this means the launch bundles are a ploy to get Kinect in the homes of early adopters.

Xbox One will release this November at a price point of around $500 – give or take depending on retailer.

Mountaineers Who uses kinect anyway


I agree. I know the new one will be "revamped", but I can almost guarantee it will get the same turnout as the last. Nobody really cares/wants the Kinect.

I wonder what the size of the smaller HDD will be, I am thinking somewhere around 250GB but I could be wrong, as long as it isn't the 4GB model.

This would be very welcomed news if it was legitimate, as of now, it is a rumour, most likely to be false.

CosmicRift Hope that this actually happens, but it's a bit late for anyone wanting to get the console right away or soon after release.

I think they should release one with kinect and one without kinect on day one release.


They have already announced that the day one bundle will include the Kinect.. I would of also liked to see 2 options though


That's the version I'm getting the controllers say Day One
