This takes a look at whether or not the price tag attached to Microsoft's upcoming camera hardware/controller is too high, sitting at $149.99 the writers at PlanetXbox360 have come up with their top 10 reasons to argue that Kinect is worth the price tag.

Since Microsoft finally got around to pricing Kinect, I felt it was time to take a moment, step back and really absorb what the hell exactly we were looking at as an overall package to assess really whether or not it is worth $100 bucks. Why do I say $100? Simple. By including Kinect Adventures in the bundle for people who already own an Xbox and titles for the motion detecting camera retailing on Amazon for roughly $50 dollars, why wouldn’t I think that? Besides, for the underlying offering, this seems to be how much those games should cost as a proper price point. But are the games the only reason why? Hell no they’re not. While I do plan on picking up a PlayStation 3 bundle when Move releases in September so I can stop hijacking my brother’s console, I’m very interested to see both the Sony and Microsoft approach to motion controls for myself. Despite a vast diversion between people who like motion controls and hate them, I like to think that I find myself somewhere in the “Meh Region”, where as long as it feels good, I’m happy. So, while I can’t justify Kinect at $150, I can certainly try and do it at $100. Why?
