News: A bundle with an Xbox 360 system will also be available.

A month after its Cirque du Soleil-sponsored premiere at E3, Microsoft has officially announced the pricing details for their Kinect controllerless motion control add-on.

As expected, the Kinect add-on will be priced at $149.99. It will also come packed Kinect Adventures!, the river-rafting adventure game that Microsoft is quickly making the centerpiece of the Kinect experience. The add-on will also be included in a new Xbox 360 system bundle. The bundle will include the newly redesigned console (with 4GB of flash memory and built-in wi-fi), a copy of Kinect Adventures and the Kinect add-on. This definitely the best deal as the whole bundle will retail for $299.99.

The new Xbox 360 with 4GB of flash memory will also be available separately starting August 3 for a retail price of $199.99. It will replace the current Arcade bundle.

УKinect for Xbox 360 offers tremendous entertainment value for the whole family,Ф said Dennis Durkin, Xbox 360 chief operating officer. УWith full body, voice and the ability to play games with your friends right out of the box, Kinect is the most unique, complete and affordable way for everyone to enjoy controller-free fun and entertainment.Ф

If you are really excited for the Kinect and Kinect Adventures!, Microsoft has also announced that those who pre-order the Kinect or the Kinect system bundle will receive a download token good for a three-level expansion pack to Kinect Adventures!

We'll have more soon.
