Can You Use Kinect on Xbox 360 Elite? Yes, Fully Compatible

Kinect Compatibility with Xbox 360 Elite

Yes. The Xbox 360 Elite (the black model with 120/250 GB HDD) is fully compatible with the Kinect sensor.

What You Need

• Kinect Sensor: Sold separately; the Elite bundle did not include one.
• Power/USB Cable: The original Kinect includes a dedicated power supply/USB hub cable that plugs into the console's rear USB and a wall outlet.
• Kinect-Enabled Games: Look for the "Kinect" badge on the case (e.g., Kinect Sports, Dance Central, Kinect Adventures).

Notes

• Early 360 models (pre-2010) may need the Kinect AC adapter (included with sensor) because their USB ports don't supply enough power.
• All Xbox 360 models (Original, Slim, E) support Kinect if they have the required dashboard update.

Plug it in, calibrate, and enjoy controller-free gaming!
