Kinect price dropped to $109  photo

Microsoft has just announced that Kinect -- everybody's favorite waste of time -- is now cheaper in North America. The "permanently reduced price" is now $109.99. 

This price drop will count in North America, Latin America, and Asia Pacific. Australia and New Zealand is also scheduled a price drop, with details of that coming later. Other regions are going to vary, so keep an eye on them -- unless you live in EMEA or Japan, where no price drop is planned. 

Now there's no excuse for any of us to not be excited for Harry Potter for Kinect!

I'd have been tempted at $107.84 ... but MS is demanding way too much, still.

Make it $50 and I might bite. There's some interesting homebrew stuff I'd like to try with it.

There's still not a single game I'd want to play with it. Unless they're willing to give these things away for free, I'm not interested.

I'd honestly rather spend $80 on LittleBigPlanet 2 bundle that comes with the PS Eye, a Move controller, and a Nav controller. At least then I'd have some actually software worth playing with it.

Thirty bucks is my last offer, take it or leave it.

I seriously have no need for the Kinect. At all.

Plus my apartment living room space ain't cuttin' it.

POS. I love Dance Central but not having enough space to play it and rearranging furniture is a hassle.

I love it when they throw in Latin America in their announcements, when they don't support the region with most of their services.

A-holes.

I got one around a year ago for $100 (after $50 rebate) and it game with Kinect adventures plus fruit ninja and gunstringer. Those later 2 are even good games. We screwed aorund for hours with the free tech demos, played dance central 2, Happy action theatre, wreckateer. Got to demo lots of interesting ideas I wouldn't pay for as games. Hell I got my hundred buck worth.

Nice, so next holiday sale they'll go even lower than $99, possibly low enough to where I'd pick one up. :)

I said I'd buy a Kinect to play Diablolical Pitch when that came out, but when it did, I chickened out. The price drop is tempting. But still. Yeah, still way too high.

I bought a working Kinect at a yard sale for $5. I overpaid.

True story.
