It has now been confirmed that Microsoft will be selling the Kinect controller for $149.99 on the Xbox 360.

A lot of people are saying that the price seems about $50 too high, but Microsoft have stuck with the pricing of $149.99 and have thrown in a free game, Kinect Adventures.

There’s also a new budget level Xbox 360 console SKU being planned. This will contain built in Wi-Fi N, a black matte finish like that of the Xbox 360 S, and 4GB of internal memory. It’s coming August 3rd for $199.99. You can get both the new console and Kinect for a combined $299.99 later this year, as part of the Kinect Holiday Bundle.
