A Kinect-less version of the Xbox One will be available June 9 for $399, Microsoft announced today.
The package will be available “in all markets where Xbox One is sold,” said Phil Spencer, head of Xbox. For purchasers of the Kinect-free Xbox One, Microsoft will offer a standalone Xbox One Kinect sensor this fall.
I saw a few Xbox fanboys complaining about this move on Twitter earlier today. They’re idiots. The Kinect is a great idea on paper, but most games really suck in practice. It should have never been a mandatory add-on.
The Kinect Free Xbox One will be $499 AUD, matching the PS4 price.
