The Microsoft Store has listed the Kinect Sensor for Xbox 360 as $149.99. When GameStop and other retailers listed Kinect at the same price last week, Microsoft’s Aaron Greenberg tweeted:

Xbox Kinect and Late Night with Jimmy Fallon have some history. Microsoft’s Kudo Tsunoda showed the device on Late Night when it was known as Project Natal. He recently returned to show the updated hardware and some new games. The results were mixed. The crowd seemed to dig it (or …
PC Magazine columnist John Dvorak — one of the most respected tech pundits in the biz — believes that Microsoft’s Xbox Kinect is “doomed to fail”. In a recent column, Dvorak wrote:

Microsoft unveiled a new version of the Xbox 360 with a 250GB hard drive and WiFi. The design is smaller, uses less power, and is allegedly quieter than its forerunners. The design is angular and totally reminds me of Alienware desktop computers. It looks like a pretty sweet machine, but …
Thanks to everyone that joined me for my Microsoft E3 2010 press conference live blog. Now that the presser is over, I want to get your thoughts on MS’ showing. As for me, I was mostly bored with the content. Aside from Metal Gear Solid: Rising and Gears of War …
