nope, get a PS4 for the same price. 100x better, less NSA.

You use the internet and I bet you carry a cellphone around. The theoretical chance of MS giving any Kintect info to the NSA is FAR from your biggest worry.

Given the amount of rampent NSA fear about the Kinect going around the net can you blame me for being a bit cynical and poking at people who continue to spread it? I find the whole thing very amusing from tech people, especially given how much very easily tracked and monitored electronics the tech enthusiast tends to deal with and carry around on a day to day basis.

Umm... you know, you could just unplug your console if you aren't using it... like normal people.

That's not even a good price. I could sell a PS3 for more than that or trade one in at a place like best buy for a better price (I believe they have a pretty awesome 150$ trade in deal for a BB gift card, even if you had the old crappy xbox 360s), while not being forced to buy an xbox like this deal does.

Cute, but wouldn't it be better to offer 100 off an xbone that didn't include kinect? .

Trim the social features and other crap that nobody wants for another $100 and we'd have a winning formula.

PS3 master race, it has so many good games on it, unlike the piece of shit that Microsoft wants you to have. 

I personally don't enjoy 9-string guitars, but that doesn't change the fact that they look awesome as hell!

Hopefully nobody falls for this stupidity..You can probably sell your PS3+all games+accessories for more than $100. Or you can just buy the superior PS4 which is already discounted $100...
