$150 for Xbox Kinect?

$149.99. That’s the price Microsoft has given Kinect, its new motion-controlled game interface for Xbox 360. Scheduled to go on sale Nov. 4, the device will be packaged with the Kinect Adventures game or sold as part of a $299.99 bundle with the new Xbox 360 4GB console.

That seems a good deal for folks who don’t yet own a 360. How the Kinect’s price tag will go over with those who already do remains to be seen. Gamers who might have been tempted by the novelty at the $100 price point may be more inclined to see what Kinect games develop before plopping down $150.

Speaking of the new 360, Microsoft (MSFT) says it will hit stores on August 3 for $200.
