Kinect v2 Priced at $200 for Windows, Coming July 15

[Callate]

Twice as much for a product not designed to work with the operating system as one that does?

...Maybe this is a different Kinect. It would make a certain amount of sense, for example, if the PC Kinect worked from much shorter distances, rather than the infamous six-to-eight-feet they've been expecting from console owners.

Maybe it will work with Windows 9.

...

Yeah, maybe. Tell yeh, Mikey, I think we'd much rather Windows 9 give us the goddamn Start menu back than support for a half-assed mouse substitute.

Ok, i seriuosly dont get it. They take a tech that they want to sell for 200 off 500 product and sell that product for 400 - thats 100 dollars price INCREASE. then they take that 200 dollar product, and try to sell it to the market that can have the same product for 50 dollars for 99% of uses.

Its like they are overpricing everything.

Oh, wait, its microsoft. they are.

Hope it will get some expational things out of it. I mean the hacked predecessor had some cool stuff.
