Consider this an official reveal from Microsoft. A couple things I’ve learned about Kinect that I didn’t already know from the product page. Kinect requires 175MB of memory and it ships with a Wi-Fi extension cable. The former, I get but why does it need Wi-Fi? Anyway, it’s safe to say that Microsoft will sell Kinect for $150\. No more, no less. \[[Microsoft](http://store.microsoft.com/microsoft/Kinect-Sensor-for-Xbox-360/product/C737B081 "undefined") via [Kotaku](http://kotaku.com/5569354/even-microsoft-says-kinect-costs-150 "undefined")\] **More on Techland**: For more on [Project Natal aka Kinect check here.](http://techland.com/tag/project-natal/ "undefined") ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/archive/7248325/kinect-for-xbox-360-priced-at-150/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/archive/7248325/kinect-for-xbox-360-priced-at-150/"},"headline":"Kinect for Xbox 360 Priced at $150","datePublished":"2010-06-22T13:42:35.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T10:55:55.219Z","description":"[timecom-gdgt url=\"http://gdgt.com/microsoft/kinect/\" style=\"full\" float=\"right\"] Mystery solved.
