Britain first: Kinect has been priced at £129, Kinect games will be £40 while the 4GB Kinect bundle revealed earlier today will cost £250. Everyone else in the Old World, you’ll pay €250 for the bundle and €149 for Kinect.
$US150 has been seen by many as too expensive for the American market. Which would make it even more more expensive in Europe, where, for example, £129 equals $US196, and €149 converts to $US192.

Wednesday, July 21, 2010 at 9:07 PMIt’s gonna cost an arm and a leg here in Australia if it reflects similar pricing differences of games.

Wednesday, July 21, 2010 at 9:55 PMThey will either make it $250 adding the usual “your Australian, so you pay more tax” or they will make it $200 to reflect everywhere else and keep the price in a not so insane price bracket. Not that I think $200 isn’t insane either.

Wednesday, July 21, 2010 at 11:27 PMYeah I’m guessing Aussie price for Kinect will be $200 and games $60-$80

Thursday, July 22, 2010 at 7:58 AMThe games will be closer to $100 in my opinion, usually USD$50 equals AUD$100.
As for the unit itself, I see AUD$200-$250 being reasonable and likely. It is a one off purchase and there are no additional items required (excluding games) that are needed to deliver the full experience. All of MS’s competitor’s require more than one device.

Thursday, July 22, 2010 at 3:05 AMI’m thinking this does not bode well for us Aussies. But at the moment I’m not interested in the games, I own a Wii.

Thursday, July 22, 2010 at 8:26 AMI would pay max $150 for the kinect + game.
If they dont go in cheap, then it will hard for them to break into the market with it.
