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.

Well, this just got kind of confusing. It is from an anonymous source, so it should be taken lightly. If it is true though, I just don't understand. Will the first set of Xbox One's require the Kinect? Will it only require it until the new Xbox One's comes out? Or, will they not require it at all? I guess only time will tell, but that information would be nice to know ahead of time.

Parecy Without the Kinect, Microsoft are guaranteed to win...


They are already winning. Without the Kinect they will be selling even more.

Microsoft should've done this from the get go. Too little Too late.

imbarnett Do you still have to have the Kinect hooked up to play? I will buy it if you don't have to use the Kinect at all, I've never used Kinect and the Eye, nor will I ever.


crap like this is annoying to see, if kinect/eye became the best gaming toy you would change your mind in a second. How can the gaming community evolve if everyone was just like you? what is it money you can't afford to waste money on it or something. Honestly you can't judge something until you've experienced the full potential.


How is he judging? He is simply stating that he didnt use the kinect while it was on the 360 nor did he use the eye while it was on the ps3. Nor does he want to; which means it's not for him. It seems like you're the judging here. Let's not play the "IF" game, because IF you would've not been so sensitive, you would've noticed there was nothing wrong with what he said. You sound retarded...

THCv3 So the without Kinect bundle will still be more expensive then the PS4. It only said the lower HDD on will be cheaper.


Most likely the without will be the same price as PS4

Why would they sell just the Xbox One if it doesn't function without a Kinect Sensor? Seems legit. You might as well just buy it with the Kinect Sensor.

They just keep on screwing up. When will they get something right?

Take away the Kinect later, not initially. Totally makes sense.
