I always had a feeling that Kinect will be $150 and I still think that it's a horrible price for a hardware add-on. The Kinect console bundle is a little less than desirable but I can understand the focus on casual players.

This pricing is ridiculous. Microsoft really needed to come in at $100 or less if they wanted to gain some real marketshare.

The Kinect game pricing is also out of whack. Those should really be $29.99 or less. I can't imagine they will even provide a full-fledged experience.
