If you want a Kinect with that new shiny Xbox 3360 Slim of yours, then boy, does Microsoft have the deal for you!. Coming with a 250GBXbox 360, 2 controllers (and not the new one friends!), Kinect Adventures! (a Kinect-built game with its own punctuation).
And now -- time for the PAIN! It’ll cost what Kotaku is reporting as a $399 figure for the US and Microsoft confirming a £300 sticker price for this “special edition” bundle in the UK. But hey, This is a complete package, right? Oh, and it launches on November 4 in the U.S, and November 10 in the UK.

The new Xbox 360 controller which has an improved D-pad and better analog sticks — a newer and better controller all around — is in freaky awesome metallic silver and such, and makes all new owners of the Xbox 360 (sometimes called the Stealthbox) a little sad.
So Microsoft jacked up the XBOX LIVE subscriptions costs you say? Well, yes. On November 1st in the US, Canada, and Mexico, the 1-month charge is increasing to $9.99 from $7.99, three months will cost $24.99 from $19.99 while the yearly plan is increasing to $59.99 from $49.99.

Want a Microsoft motion-sensing, video playing Natal? Yes? Well remember that it’s no longer called the Natal, but the Kinect. Starting at $149 for pre-order on Microsoft’s own Xbox store, don’t be surprised if there’s a price drop or anything else tasty as launch date nears.
