Microsoft has stated that Kinect for Xbox 360 will offer voice chat and voice command functionality when it launches in November, which obviously contradicts all of the rumors suggesting otherwise.

When the earlier rumors began a lot of Microsoft haters started flaming the Xbox 360 and Kinect, however this official statement from Microsoft means that these haters will have to eat some humble pie and not jump on the bandwagon next time an unreliable source starts a rumor.

There is no doubt that if Microsoft held back this somewhat basic functionality there would have been reason to complain, especially as people have already pre-ordered their controller-free gaming device, however it is nice to see that the Kinect launch seems to be going to plan.

We now have it on good authority that there is a new price for the motion-sensing device.

Xbox Evolved has learned from someone in the know at Texas Gamestop that this new price will be $119, which is $31 cheaper than the recently mentioned price. If this is true then we can be certain of the fact that Microsoft is still undecided as to the price of the Kinect.

We cannot know for sure that this representative is fully in the know or has just grabbed the price from the air – all we now is the current $150 price tag is on the wrong side of the one hundred dollar mark.

We recently wrote that analyst, retailers and gamers think that the price should be below $100 if it has any chance of success. We also noted that getting the right price that appeals to these gamers will help sell more units of the new Xbox 360.
