Kinect sensor bundle announced

Today we have announced we’re updating the Kinect Sensor bundle to include both Kinect Adventures and a download code for a free copy of Child of Eden. This new bundle will be priced the same as the current sensor bundle and will start appearing in stores next week in all Xbox LIVE regions (except Japan since Child of Eden has not been released there.) This bundle will be available in limited quantities and while supplies last so be sure to look for the special packaging above to make sure you’re getting Child of Eden!

    This is a great pack in.  Child of Eden suffers from being a critically acclaimed hit that doesn’t really grab the casual market – but this will definitely increase its exposure.

    Plus, in about 4-5 months I can get a download code on Amazon for < 10 bucks….

      I thought the same thing about amazoner & ebayers selling the download code for cheap. You could get the Alan Wake DL code for under $5!

    Will it have a separate SKU number? Or just be on the same Amazon product page?

    Sweet!

    But I’m a bit concerned. I’ve read CoE gets Kinect errors when installed to the HDD…

    I bought the game but I can confirm that this is easily one of the best Kinect titles other than Dance Central or Fruit Ninja Kinect.

    Excellent bundle. It’s a fantastic game, but not enough content to justify the $50 price tag. As a pack-in though, it’s well worth it.

    Also, speaking of fantastic Kinect games, there’s a Gunstringer demo available right now on Xbox Live Marketplace (only on the console… Not showing up on the web marketplace for some reason).

    Surely a Forza 4 & Kinect bundle is on the way…

    eden game isn’t even that good.. it may be fun to watch but it has lots of dialogue & tutorials at beginning. They should have bundled it with a download token for Fruit Ninja or Hole in Wall!
