The system seemingly got more official pricing when the Microsoft Store put the system up for sale at $150 also.
Stephen Toulouse, Director of Policy Enforcement for Xbox LIVE, made it clear, however, that the pricing was still not live: "Guys I have nothing to do with Kinect Pricing. All prices now *no matter what the retail source* are placeholders. We've not announced."
Xbox Evolved is posting the latest rumor, this week, citing a Microsoft representative who has said the Kinect will actually sell for $120 USD.
Reads the site: "A Microsoft representative told the employees of a Texas Gamestop that Kinect would be $119."
There is no evidence of the speculation being true, but a $120 price point would certainly bring more on-the-fence consumers into the mix.
