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.

Oasis This so isn't going to happen. Nice troll though.


I don't understand how you think it's a troll. It's a reliable source.

It's only logical that Microsoft will eventually come out with a budget friendly Xbox One.

It's not garbage, it's just for kids.


lets be honest, it is not garbage.. it is just made for little kids to be able to enjoy themselves and stay active :)
