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.

-Cody I wonder how much these bundles will cost.


More than likely a little over $500.


If the kinect isn't included then my guess is $400-450

CHP you might as well buy it with kinect since you are going to need it more


No one is going to use Kinect. If you play COD and or Battlefield, you're not going to use the Kinect.


So true.

Hope that this actually happens, but it's a bit late for anyone wanting to get the console right away or soon after release.

I think they should release one with kinect and one without kinect on day one release.

the kinect doesnt matter one bit to me. its a waste of money if you ask me. its gonna cut down prices without yeah. but who cares cheaper for the people who think kinect is just a waste of money.
