Microsoft confirms new Kinect details (plus a new Xbox 360 Arcade)

Microsoft has just announced the official pricing and release date of Kinect. As rumored, the standalone device will cost $150 and will be available on November 4th. The other option would be to get the Kinect bundled with the just-announced new Xbox 360 arcade for $300. The new $200 Xbox Arcade will feature 4GB of internal storage, a matte finish, and like it’s older and shinier brother, 802.11n WiFi. It will ship August 3rd. So, to recap, you can get the Kinect for $149 on November 4th, the new 360 Arcade on August 3rd for $199, and the two bundled together for $299 sometime this holiday.
