Xbox 360 Kinect: Discontinued—No New Retail Price

The Xbox 360 Kinect has been discontinued since 2017 (along with the console). Microsoft no longer manufactures or sells it.

Used Market Prices (2024)

• Sensor Only: $15–$35 (eBay, GameStop, local)
• Sensor + Adapter (for Original 360): $25–$50
• Bundle (Sensor + Kinect Adventures + Adapter): $30–$60

Buying Used: What to Check

• Motor Noise: Tilt mechanism should move smoothly, silently.
• Camera Clarity: Test on console—RGB + depth streams clean.
• Microphone Array: Voice recognition in Kinect Tuner.
• Cable Integrity: Proprietary connector fragile; avoid kinked cables.

Alternatives

• Xbox One Kinect + Adapter: Works on Xbox 360? No. Different protocol.
• PC Webcam + Move/PS Eye: For PC VR/body tracking (not 360).
• Just Dance (Phone App): Uses smartphone as controller—no Kinect needed.

For 360 Kinect games (Dance Central, Kinect Sports, Child of Eden), a used sensor is your only path.
