Xbox 360 Kinect price dropped to $109.99

The Xbox 360's Kinect peripheral received a permanent price drop today, Microsoft announced.

The new price will now be $109.99 in the United States. There will also be a permanently reduced price in North America, Latin America, and Asia Pacific regions where Kinect is sold. Additionally, the Kinect sensor in Australia and New Zealand will be available for a permanently reduced price.

Unfortunately, Microsoft's Larry Hryb, aka Major Nelson, couldn't offer the final retail price. Each region's price will vary based on the currency and other variables. As of right now, there are no price drop plans for EMEA and Japan.
