So you bought a new Xbox 360 S console bundled with Kinect last week and, like many others, found your new camera doodad doesn't come with its own power supply [for use with the Original/'Fat' Xbox360 models] -- clearly, Microsoft thought you intended to use your Kinect with this console and this console alone. You were up the proverbial creek, sans paddle ... until now.

Selling it separate is better for everyone.

I don't doubt that it apeals to the casual audience. And I support them having fun with it. I won't buy it until it's implemented practically into games that are for a hardcore audience. I don't see that happening anytime soon, the Wii has been out for years and it still pushes gimmicky games out.

because you know, hardcore gamers are usually turned on by the same things casual gamers are.....
Im obviously talking about gamers like you or me, not the wii demographic.
