Damn it!!!! I just got it from them for £24.99 a few days ago. I think I'll ring them up.
20 minutes holding for someone. I think I'll give up now.

You need an old (fat) Xbox One serial number to get the free adapter, otherwise it will cost. Pop into your local supermarket and see if you can take a pic of a display models serial :smiley:

Depends how high you place it and how big your room is :wink:
The next version of console, Xbox S, doesn't even have kinect port. To me - this is a shame, because I see how much enjoyment it brings, especially to little ones (not the fitness app, but Dance Something)

Just out of interest, how many games actually supported the Kinect on the xbox one and are there any backward compatible games for it from the 360????

Off the top of my head, Kinect Sport Rivals, Dance Central and Skype.

There's a fair number of your typical sports/dance games like you would get on the Wii, though inevitably the hardware here is much more advanced. The only game I have is FRU which I highly recommend!
As far as I know 360 kinect games aren't compatible.
Not true. FRU is great, and I'm sure the dance games are good for kids or parties.
Depends what you're likely to use it for. Here's what I find most useful, in descending order of usefulness:
. Voice commands to turn the console on/off, switch apps, pause/play TV and Netflix (incredibly convenient)
. IR receiver/blaster, allows you to control your TV and Sky box using voice, Xbox remote or controller (this is built into the newer One S)
. Playing games
. Video calling on Skype
You can turn off Cortana and just use "Xbox". Although I believe the latest update has fixed Cortana so it won't go to the internet for your local commands. "Xbox" is quicker to say so I'm sticking with that anyway.

Would this work on a xbox one elite? (Soz for the newbie question)

Are there any non-stupid priced out there for the PC/One S adaptor?
£35 is completely over-the-top.

I thought it was free from MS with the 2 serial numbers!

Yes register your console to Microsoft and if you have gone from an old Xbox to and S you can get the adapter for free

there are a fair few but nothing that's any good tbh. if you search 'kinect' thru xb itself on the store it'll show a list. no there's no 360 games compatible with it though
