Kinect Coming to Windows on February 1 (and Costs $250??)


Microsoft has announced that Kinect is coming to Windows on February 1.

While you’ll of course be playing games on it, as has been explained when the crossover was first revealed, there’s more to it than just waving your arms to play Microsoft Flight. There are a number of office and communications uses for it as well, among other things.

Above you’ll see the box art, as the product is being repackaged for the PC crowd. What you won’t see above, but will see if you visit Amazon, is a price of $250, $100 more than the peripheral costs on the Xbox 360. Despite it looking to be exactly the same device. And that same device working just fine on a PC, as hackers have been showing us for over a year.

Hrm.

We’re checking with Microsoft to see if that’s a typo or not.
