Today Microsoft announced that beginning on June 9th, in all markets where Xbox One is sold, it will offer Xbox One starting at $399. This is a new console option that does not include Kinect. Why is this Killer Instinct news? This means hopefully that a lot more people who were not willing to drop $500 on a new console will jump in and start playing Killer Instinct. This could be promising for the growth of the Killer Instinct community. E3 is going to be a great year and let’s hope we hear some exciting Season 2 news.
Other exciting Xbox announcements today:
- Microsoft bringing more value to Xbox Live Gold members and offering all Xbox 360 and Xbox One owners access to entertainment apps whether or not you have an Xbox Live Gold membership
- Free games with Games with Gold and Exclusive Discounts/Deals with Gold on Xbox One starting June

I like the Kinect! Price didnt bother me……
This is excellent and huge as well as awesome gaming news for BOTH the Xbox One and the gamers and overall for the gaming community including the KI community
Maybe I’ll get a One now, sans useless Kinect.
?, does this mean existing owners with the kinect, utilized the systems without the it? I can sell it to make extra money.
Good to know!
I wonder if this also applies to countries where the console has yet to be released…
Interesting. …..
