    • You are the controller. Kinect uses a sensor to track your body movement and recognise your face, even listen to your voice.
    • Smart enough to remember voices and faces and provides an in-game experience in which the player’s face and voice are recognised. Greet and speak to characters in the game, or simply step into view of the sensor to log into Xbox LIVE and connect with friends.
    • Makes social gaming off-the-couch fun by providing gameplay that gets you off the couch, on your feet and in the fun. Each Kinect experience is designed to get players moving, laughing, cheering and playing together.

    For sure that's a great deal at X-Mass i worked out if I was going to get a kinect in game with one game and the wifi add on it worked out about 250 euros

    But I picked up a a new silk xbox 4GB for 299 with the kinect and 2 games and 10 euro on my game card so it was a great deal at the time and I put my 120gb hd from my old xbo into the new one and sold the old xbox for 90 euros so I only paid 200 euros for it at the time

    But this is a great deal

    Worked fine for me.

    Well.. I'm on a different machine to yesterday and I didn't even need to enter the 'GOKINECT' (and I did yesterday).

    Does your order total say £99.90 on the final screen? If so, it automatically applied the code.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,030 ✭✭✭jpb1974


    Nah... £109.90 is the total on the final screen.

    I had original placed an order for this deal when it was original advertised last week... again the code threw up an error... checkout was £110 which was correct at the time.

    Order is still sitting there... almost a week now and it hasn't shipped.

    I order it last night, was going to order it a few days ago now i'm glad i didnt. I logged in last night and the price had since been reduced by 10 pounds, then I saw the promo code and saved another 10 pounds. Not bad costing under 120 euro.

    Only thing is that I didnt realise that I had to add Kinect Joy Ride to the order to get it free, I sent 'em an email to see if I can still get it, hopefully they'll still give it to me.

    If you have the option, I'd say cancel and re-order.

    Amazon have some of the best customer service I've experience.. but once the order hits 'Packing', there's nothing they can do.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,528 ✭✭✭Lucious Sweet


    I just placed my order 5 mins ago. £99 including joyride.
    Make sure you use the voucher GOKINECT (all uppercase)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,030 ✭✭✭jpb1974


    It's doing my nut -

    Amazon just emailed back, they have now added kinect joy ride to the order for free. I'm delighted :D

    I have to say I'm impressed with their customer service, I've never received a reply as fast as this from any other company.

    Just ordered mine.
    Thx for the heads up.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 165 ✭✭Jo Satan


    I had ordered this last week, just cancelled it and ordered with another account, great stuff.

    Thanks OP

    Created a new account and it worked first time. Thanks OP.

    i've been looking for a games console but have no idea how much they should be.

    how much of a saving is this?

    argos says E299 for xbox 4gb, sensor and adventures ?

    so is this offer saving over 180Euro on 'normal' high street price?!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,345 ✭✭✭jamescd


    Nope, it's only the kinect sensor and two games. The console is not included.

    Amazon have that same package as Argos for approx 274 quid delivered so you'll be saving 26.

    Just ordered, both for £99 - forgot to set in Euro. Great price

    My brother pointed out the dead space 2 deal at the weekend, now this....****, discovering this part of boards is going to bankrupt me....but at least I'll have things.

    Thanks for the info guys just ordered mine.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 63 ✭✭Gaolcon


    This is a great price cant beat it:)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 63 ✭✭Gaolcon


    Was also reading that Microsoft is allowing the Kinect
    device to be hacked, should be very interesting;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,894 ✭✭✭Mr. Fancypants


    Ordered mine yesterday and it was shipped yesterday evening, they are shipping Kinect Joy Ride when it arrives in on march but it looks like i have only been charged £76.59 for the kinect as they havent charged for Kinect Joy Ride yet. May cancel Kinect Joy Ride once i get confirmation from amazon that i wont be charged the full cost.

    *edit* Just tried to cancel Kinect Joy Ride but it wont let me as it is part of a multi-item promotion. You win this time Amazon ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 688 ✭✭✭luketitz


    Good Deal, I found that Joy Ride game to be fairly muck though, was expecting GTA-esque, got more Driving Miss Daisy!

    That'll learn ya for buying a game based on it's name and not any other factors.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 344 ✭✭kiersm


    Even if the game isn't great i still think its a great price and you can always trade in the game somewhere

    I never said I bought it! Tested it out a few weeks ago, good point otherwise though! :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,487 ✭✭✭Mountjoy Mugger


    Just got it delivered. Thanks, Basq.

    Joy Ride shipped Saturday, will be here Wednesday. I've got most of the Kinect demos downloaded in preparation for it's expected delivery tomorrow.

    anyone received theirs yet? Thinking of snapping up this deal myself, the most similar deal to this that I saw for €215.50 in HMV.

    I wouldn't say that's right... the Kinect & Kinect Adventures is only €150 RRP.

    Think I saw it in HMV for about the €180 mark.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,030 ✭✭✭jpb1974


    Arrived this morning, cheers OP.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,804 ✭✭✭pappyodaniel


    The 250 GB bundle with kinect sensor, kinect adventures, Joy Ride and a game or xboxlive membership(for €20) has just gone up by €30....sickened.

    Any idea as to where I can get it cheaper than on Amazon or what retailers in Ireland are selling it on offer, i.e Tesco, Xtravision, Argos etc..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 893 ✭✭✭rivalius13


    Joy Ride arrived, but I don't want to open it because I wanna see if some place will take it and give me Kinectamals instead...DON'T JUDGE ME!

    Gamestop will give you €22 trade in for joyride. Even if it sealed they will open it to check.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,371 ✭✭✭acquiescefc


    just received, packed by a schoolboy.

    Nice one. Look forward to messing with this.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 344 ✭✭kiersm


    Got mine yest am thrilled with it, i haven't tried the joyride game yet so if its rubbish i will trade it in.

    Am going to ring Xtravision later to see what they'll give me for it cos i've found they normally do the best trade in prices


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,894 ✭✭✭Mr. Fancypants


    Got Joyride today and i was on my way to Dundrum anyhow so i decided to trade it in there. Asked GAME first and they said they would give 12 euro so went down to HMV and got 24.50 Euro in credit :) GAME promised to give 1 euro more than the best price but i didn't have time to go back.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,564 ✭✭✭Deep Thought


    tells me cannot ship to my address

    Any ideas why ?

    The narrower a man’s mind, the broader his statements.

    Make sure all the items you select are shipped from amazon rather than a marketplace seller. If an item is out of stock such as Joy Ride amazon show the marketplace seller as the default choice. Look over on the right hand side to select amazon as the seller.
