Weekly News – June 21st to 27th

The upcoming Xbox Kinect device.

More Kinect Extravaganza

The week shows a clear dust trail from the big announcements of this year’s E3. Regarding their new catalogue of software titles, Microsoft says that Kinect based games will be designed to appeal to all gamers; the company, however, will continue to make controller-based games for the (hard)core audience:

At Xbox, we’re developing controller-based games for the core and Kinect titles that appeal to everyone (…)

Pricing on the Kinect device still seems to be an ambiguous topic. On the Microsoft store, it is shown that Kinect is priced at $150 (US dollars); during its press conference, however, Microsoft said the device would cost “(…) under one hundred dollars (…)”

According to one of the latests reports from Bloomerang, there is the chance that the Television streaming service Hulu will be available on Playstation3. According to our sources (which are totally not rumour and hearsay), subscription fees for the service will be about $9.95 (US dollars) per month.
