Kinect, along with an Xbox 360 hardware bundle and the new Xbox 360 
Arcade SKU.        So, for $299, you can get yourself a new Xbox 360 
4GB Arcade console with the Kinect sensor and a copy of Kinect 
Adventures. For $149.99, you get the Kinect and a copy of Kinect 
Adventures.  If you're not interested in the Kinect at all and want a 
cheap new Xbox 360 4GB arcade unit, those will start shipping out in 
around 2 weeks for $199.99.    
  So there ya go... rumors are 
finally put to rest and now we can all sleep a little bit better. 
Microsoft Corp. today announced an all-in-one opportunity
 to jump into the controller-free fun of Kinect this holiday: the 
all-new Xbox 360 4GB console, the revolutionary Kinect sensor and 
"Kinect Adventures" packaged together for $299.99 (U.S. ERP). With 
"Kinect Adventures," players will make their way through 20 adventures, 
navigating roaring rapids and ducking and dodging through mountaintop 
obstacle courses and other exotic locations -- no controller, wand or 
balance board required. In addition, existing Xbox 360 console owners 
can purchase the Kinect sensor with "Kinect Adventures" for $149.99 
(U.S. ERP). The sensor, which will work with each of the 40 million Xbox
 360 consoles currently in households worldwide, is uniquely able to 
track your full body movements, respond to your voice and deliver a 
multiplayer experience right out of the box.      In addition,
 the new Xbox 360 4GB console, which begins shipping on Aug. 3 in the 
U.S., will be available for $199.99 (U.S. ERP). With a sleek new design,
 the Xbox 360 4GB console looks great and includes built-in Wi-Fi N, 4GB
 of internal flash memory, touch-sensitive buttons and a black matte 
finish.    
  "Kinect for Xbox 360 offers tremendous 
entertainment value for the whole family," said Dennis Durkin, Xbox 360 
chief operating officer. "With full body, voice and the ability to play 
games with your friends right out of the box, Kinect is the most unique,
 complete and affordable way for everyone to enjoy controller-free fun 
and entertainment."  
    With more than 15 games available
 at launch, living rooms will become fitness rooms, dance clubs and 
sports stadiums. Kinect games, including "Kinectimals," "Kinect Sports,"
 "Kinect Joy Ride" and MTV Games' and Harmonix's "Dance Central" will 
retail for $49.99 (U.S. ERP). In addition to games, Kinect changes the 
way you experience entertainment by putting your favorite movies, TV 
programs, music and live sports from ESPN all in one place. Begin a 
movie by simply saying, "Xbox, play," or browse through a music list 
with the wave of a hand. Kinect also creates new ways for friends and 
family to have fun together. With Video Kinect, share a smile with 
friends and family, as you open a window into living rooms around the 
world.  
    "I think Kinect is a major leap forward in the
 gaming experience that will appeal to both mainstream and casual 
gamers," said Michael Gartenberg, partner, Altimeter Group, and author 
of the Engadget Entelligence column.    
  Starting today, 
select retailers are taking pre-orders for the Xbox 360 Kinect Console 
Bundle at $299.99 (U.S. ERP) and Kinect for Xbox 360 at $149.99 (U.S. 
ERP). Pre-order Kinect or the Xbox 360 Kinect Console Bundle today, and
