Daily Gift: Kinect for Xbox 360
Posted in: kinect, Today's Chili, video games, xbox 360
This one’s a no-brainer, really. Microsoft had been talking up Project Natal for what seemed like forever, finally renaming the Kinect for Xbox 360 and unveiling this June at the E3 gaming show in Los Angeles.
And by most accounts, the company seems to have a genuine hit one its hands. The Kinect is shaping up to be one of the most hotly requested items this holiday season and just the kick in the pants the Xbox 360 needed to stay fresh into 2011.
The Kinect ships at $149.99 as a standalone device–pricier than the $99 PlayStation Move, sure, but the hands-free motion controller will almost certainly make the day of someone on your shopping list.
The controller is a terrific option for those younger kids on your list for whom much of the Xbox’s library is a bit too mature. Games like Dance Central, Kinectimals, and Kinect Sports are all-ages affairs that have the added benefit of getting players up off of the couch.
