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.
I wonder what the difference is between the two Kinects other then the lack of an Xbox Logo on it. I don't know how popular this will be, there are a lot of cameras out there and I think the reason that most people used the Kinect with the PC was for development, not stuff like Skype Video calls.
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.
yeah but who is actually going to use it foe everything you have just said.
because If I got one I would only know how to use it as a web cam. rather buy an eye toy play haha
It only really relates to people who would be using that sort of stuff. Developers and anything related to 3D interest, I guess.
