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.

darkowl1991 Anybody else notice they cut out the last bit.

We have no plans to introduce an Xbox One without Kinect. We believe in Kinect and the value it brings to both games and entertainment, and believe $499 is a great value for what consumers receive with their Xbox One.

plus Microsoft already denied this.


They also said that the Xbox 360 would never get a web browser... Whats this blue e thing on my dashboard then MS? Liars..


That's different


No that's not different. Microsoft contradicts themselves all the time.
