Xbox 360 Kinect coming to Singapore

Microsoft Xbox 360 Kinect is set to come to Singapore on November 18, clearing the way for controller-free gaming.

“Kinect brings games and entertainment to life in extraordinary new ways, no controller required,” said Ben Tan, Regional Director, SEA and Korea, Retail Sales and Marketing for Microsoft.

Microsoft and LucasArts also said they will bring Star Wars to Kinect next year. Disney is also set to bring its magic to Kinect, and about 15 Kinect games are expected for launch by the end of the year.

On the Singapore market, StarHub has confirmed its collaboration with Microsoft to develop promotional packages for local Kinect customers.

“We are very pleased to work with our long-term partner, Microsoft, to offer Kinect to our customers as part of our exciting line-up of year-end festive goodies. With the tie-up, our existing and new MaxOnline customers can look forward to picking up a special StarHub- Xbox360 Kinect bundle at StarHub shops next month,” said Mr. Ng Long Shyang, Head of Sales and Marketing at StarHub.

“This festive season, there will be more reasons for StarHub's customers to get cosy at home! Besides our best cable TV entertainment and fastest broadband surfing experiences, they can also have fun playing motion-controlled Kinect games with family and friends,” added Ng.

The Xbox 360 4GB console, the revolutionary Kinect sensor and “Kinect Adventures” are packed together for a price of $469 and will be available from retailers islandwide.
