Friday, 25 June 2010 Henry Dowling

Just before this years E3 kicked off in Los Angeles last week, Joystiq put together a Bingo card with their predictions for the big events of the show.

Microsoft Store lists Kinect at $150

Tuesday, 22 June 2010 Tarryn van der Byl

Kinect's rumoured $150 price point has been chucked around a bit since retailers Amazon and Gamestop started listing the peripheral last week, but Microsoft has thus far avoided confirming - or denying - the listed price. However, it seems more and more likely that retailers have got it right, as Microsoft's very own online store is now listing Kinect for pre-order at $149.99 ...

Monday, 21 June 2010 Tarryn van der Byl

Move along, no RRoDs to see here, people. And no, not just because some clever guy in marketing suggested they replace the red lights with something somewhat less confrontational (red dot of death), but because the new Xbox 360 shuts itself off if it gets too hot ...

Microsoft: Kinect pricing has not been confirmed

Monday, 21 June 2010 Henry Dowling

Kinect is expected to launch world wide early November, but so far Microsoft is yet to tell us just how much the motion controller is going to set us back. The end of last week saw the big players in the online retail space, Amazon and Gamestop, list the peripheral at $150, however, according to a tweet by Microsoft's Larry Hryb (aka Major Nelson), there is still no confirmed price ...

Microsoft's motion controller Kinect will be sold separately, but we'll also see it bundled with the Xbox 360 console when it launches in November, according to an internal marketing Q&A obtained by Kotaku. US retailer Gamestop is already listing an Arcade + Kinect bundle at $299 (R3,400), and an Elite + Kinect bundle for $399 (R4,520), meaning the peripheral would cost the buyer $100 (R1,130) if bought in a bundle ...

New Xbox 360 'Slim' officially unveiled [Update]

Monday, 14 June 2010 Tarryn van der Byl

Everybody was expecting it, of course, but Microsoft has officially yanked the covers from the new Xbox 360, somewhat conspicuously not called an "Xbox 360 Slim", probably because it's not really that much slimmer ...

New Xbox 360 Slim SKU revealed [Confirmed]

Monday, 14 June 2010 Henry Dowling

There's been no lack of rumours on a possible slim Xbox 360 form factor, and if an Italian advert (which has since been pulled) is anything to go by, there's a chance Microsoft could be revealing the new SKU, which will feature a 250GB hard drive, wi-fi and Kinect compatibility, at E3 this week ...

Project Natal renamed to 'Kinect', more games revealed

Monday, 14 June 2010 Steven De Klerk

Although we've come accustomed to the name Project Natal for Microsoft's upcoming motion controller, it was always meant as a place holder only, with the full retail name to be announced at a later stage. Well, that stage is E3 2010, with USA Today revealing Microsoft's motion controller retail name as Kinect ...
