Microsoft assert their assurance the Kinect offers value for money

Speaking to Techradar, Microsoft’s Brett Siddons, Microsoft's UK Marketing manager has asserted his belief that Kinect’s price point of a penny shy of £130 is very competititve when placed alongside Sony and Nintendo’s offerings.

"The price thing itself depends on how you look at it," he said “It's £129.99 RRP but it comes with a game within that price – so Adventures will be packed in with the camera. If you buy it with the console which normally costs £149.99, [the package price is] £249.99 with the Kinect and the games – another 100 pound on top. The camera tracks six people – with two active gamers – you don't have to buy anything else.”

" but when you say Nintendo Wii or PlayStation Move yoI'll let you do the mathsu buy this and this, even for a two player games.

"What do you need and what do actually have to spend for a two player game for this device versus that device. You actually find that [Kinect] is very competitively priced."

Our take on the price of upcoming and established motion control devices? They’re all too expensive. There’s a recession on doncha know?
