Microsoft axe Kinect pricing to $109.99 – no plans for EMEA

Microsoft have enjoyed huge success (and sales) with their Kinect controller for the Xbox 360, and PC. Major Nelson said last night that the North American audience can enjoy a ‘permanent' price reduction to $109.99. Very nice indeed.

What about the European gaming audience? Well it appears we aren't so lucky as there are no price drop plans for EMEA, and even the Japanese audience are left in the cold.

Plans are going ahead for October 4th, when the Kinect device will drop in price throughout Australia and New Zealand.
