Kinect on the 360 did pretty good no?

I should amend my statement to "Xbox One's Kinect" and the approach they took with it being mandatory and packed in with the system.

This. Put it up on eBay/Amazon/Craigslist/wherever, and you're out $350 or less in the end. It's a great deal no matter how you slice it.
Yep. Could end up pretty much having an Xbox One for $300 (which is by the way, how much I feel the system should be without kinect in the first place; & $400 with kinect).

If you've waited this long you may as well hang on a little longer until the kinect free xbone fails to sell too and they're forced to start bundling games and reducing the kinect free xbone price even more.
Gotta love those demand death spirals...

You probably shouldn't hold out for this. This SKU is gonna sell very well, maybe even as good as PS4 is selling. MS are gonna bring the heat at E3, I reckon.

Rockefellers. Skull and Bones. Microsoft. Al Qaeda. A Cabal of Bankers. The melting point of steel. What do these things have in common? Wake up sheeple, the landfill wasn't even REAL!

"A little longer..."
Ehhh.... doubt there will be another drop and/or a cheaper SKU this year (2014) even if it still doesn't do as well as the PS4. Sales for the Xbox One are going to increase either way due to the upcoming Fall games.

Principles are great but when you can literally buy one and sell kinect getting kinect free SKU cheaper i don't see a problem
I know man, and I hate buying stripped down versions even though I dont really care for Kinect.
Gotta make some decisions.

That's a fair cop, I guess. I can't imagine why anyone would want to buy an Xbone Kinect on its own when up until this new SKU comes out in June, they would already get one with their Xbone lol

What a mess MS have got themselves into. They flooded the market with Kinect versions of the XB1, announce a Kinectless version, and now they're having to clear stock in order to make room for the Kinectless version in June, which creates a situation that makes the Kinectless version even less of a bargain. Incredible.

*looks at store locations.* nothing in Wisconsin.
I don't get how people think sometimes lol. its all the same thing.
Xbox one + Kinect + titanfall/forza = 450$
Xbox one + Kinect - game = 400$
isn't Forza / Titanfall around 50$ new ?
in theory, we have this bundle since Titan fall release if not before. the difference is they bundled a game in it and whatever you like that game or not, you are stuck with it " BtW titanfall is game of the year for me so far. probably the only game I play so much to be honest"
also, the upcoming Xbox one bundle without Kinect for 400$ to me is a downgrade to the current prices for Xbox one + Kinect.
if you buy the Titan fall bundle for 450$, you can sell both the game and the camera and you will end up with 300 to 330$ Xbox one.

Good deal for people who are waiting on the $399 model. Just sell Kinect on Ebay.

But everyone who has a Xbox One already has a Kinect, and anyone who buys the Kinectless version dont want a Kinect.
that means you want the system for 250$. " assuming you sell Kinect and the game is 50$"
um.. lol.

This is one of the worst principles I have ever seen, and that includes the one James Belushi played and the shit film he did it in.
I give up
That's what Phil said about the Kinect too.

could never
That's some impressive hyperbole you've got there.
You should be more selective about what principles you want to adhere to in life. You'll miss out on a lot of stuff otherwise.
Being a good person to other people: A good principle to have.
Missing out on a good deal due to a video game peripheral being bundled: You can probably live without this one.
