Xbox One Kinect for Windows SDK applications live now, cost $400

4.7
Windows Developers anxious to get their code onto Microsoft's next-gen Kinect can apply for a software development kit before its official public release in 2014. Microsoft is accepting applications now through July 31 at 9AM PT, and early kits cost $400. The program begins in November.

Early kits include an alpha sensor and the final sensor at launch, private support from the Kinect for Windows engineering team, access to the early SDK and any future updates, and private access to all API.

Microsoft will alert successful applicants in August.

A_Box_Of_Mints I'm actually interested in this where can I go for the application


I would just google it, one of my friends applied for it, I doubt he'll get it though to be honest.

BDB $400 for a thing I won't use, good.


Good idea right! But in all seriousness this is only for people into software development.

Pane I Wonder What They Have Lined Up For Us In The Future!


Hopefully they will have some good games throughout the lifetime of the Xbox One. I am mainly looking forward to a new Fable Game which i hope will come out some time 2014-2015


A knew Fable game would go down very well with me! I'm a huge fan of the Fable series, and I reckon on next-gen they could make an amazing game!

Very interesting, but $400 is a lot of money, I'm guessing some people would be happy to pay this though.

lel I dno't think I'm going to get this anytime soon


to be honest at that price i don't think anyone will. I could buy a new bed for that much or a PS4 and a game


This is for software development though, If you don't do that sort of stuff then it's not worth buying..
