The Kinect 2.0 may have split from the Xbox One, but it will be ready to find new love with PC partners soon. A Microsoft Store listing highlights a July 15 release date for the Xbox logo-less, PC-compatible 3D camera, meaning we can put Xbox head Phil Spencer's belief that people will still buy the Kinect to the test as soon as next week.
The PC version of the Kinect 2 boasts a price tag of a not-insignificant $200 - $100 more than the price difference between a Kinect-less Xbox One and an Xbox One with the peripheral pack-in.
R3vo You have to be mentally ill to buy this garbage for 200 dollars. Can't Microsoft do good and bring something cool to the PC like Halo Master Chief Edition.
this kinect would be very useful to people who do animation as well as help developers make game and even filmmakers.
GILF so its just basically web cam for the pc that you can talk into

yes that what it seems to be. i coudnt see having one without the xbox one
Kart Who would pay $200 for this bumped up webcam.
Microsoft needs to stop looking like idiots with their prices or else people gonna be laughing when they drop the prices of all their stuff 3months after its out and they realize they messed up
Do y'all even know what kinect is? It has some amazing 3d image perception technology behind it. It's being used to build drone that can fly through a 3d obstacle course easy peasy. it's not just a webcam, its much more and definitely deserves the $200 price tag.
Most logical one here + I agree
i know exactly what the kinect is. i have done my fair share of research before choosing what gaming system i wanted
Polygon Not sure what the Kinect for PC could do.
I guess it's just another camera?
Look for any kinect v1 projects and you'll be surprised what's possible.
People seem to forget that kinect 2 can measure time of flight, voice recognition, gestures, infrared, and more as well as being a 1080p camera that can handle 2gb of data per second.
