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.

Whirl Yes finally I have decided that I am waiting until 2014 to get an xbox one so I dont have to put the kinect in my house its just weird


I don't really understand peoples reasoning behind this. Not having a Kinect will only serve to limit the amount of games you can play. As long as Microsoft adapts the Kinect into their console well then i don't really see the problem with them including it with the console

Since i purchased my Kinect for the Xbox 360 i have only used it once or twice for that reason, i simply don't like having a camera watching me while i play Video Games
