Kinect Star Wars delayed until 2012

Another post where the title says it all. Kinect Star Wars was originally set for release with it’s limited edition console this holiday season but Microsoft has had a change of heart due to problems with the game.

“Microsoft and LucasArts have elected to move the launch of Kinect Star Wars beyond holiday 2011 to ensure the full potential of this title is realized,” a spokesperson told us. “This move applies to both the Kinect Star Wars stand-alone game and the Kinect Star Wars Limited Edition Console. We will communicate additional timing information at a later date.”

An official release date hasn’t been given yet. But you can trust I will be keeping you guys updated.

Limited Edition Star Wars themed X-Box coming soon [R2-D2, C-3PO Designs]

Do you like themed X-Boxes? So do we. And evidently, so do Microsoft. Following the Halo: Reach themed X-Box and the announcement of a Gears of War one, Microsoft will be blessing us yet with another one. This time for one of the most popular movies of all time, Star Wars.

Inside the box you’ll find a gleaming white Xbox 360 with blue lighting and custom sounds for both on/off and the disc tray. With a 320GB Hard Drive and built-in wireless it may not be entirely on the same level as it’s inspiration but it still packs a punch. As well as that you’ll then be treated with a new generation gold wireless controller.

Both are bundled with a white-skinned Kinect sensor and the Star Wars Kinect game with prices around $499 or £275. There’s no word on official UK pricing as yet, but in fairness, it’s unlikely you’ll care considering how good it looks.

This bundle should also include Kinect Adventures. Keep your wallets full and your eyes open this “holiday season” as that’s when the bundle will become available for purchase.

The Xbox 360 Kinect has officially been priced at £130 ($150) and will be released on November 4th (for North America). There has been no official report as to when it will be released in the UK but we can safely assume it will be released on the same date.

There will also a bundle of the Kinect Motion Controller and the New Xbox 360 console with 4GB storage and ‘Kinect Adventures’ (kind of like the Xbox 360′s version of Wii Sports) for £250 ($300).

The most reliable UK source in terms of pricing to pre-order the Kinect and the Kinect bundle from (for now) is play.com.
