Sure, you could still get one if you shelled out $500 for the deluxe version of Xbox One, but there was no way to pick one up on its own. What if, say, a new Dance Central game (http://www.engadget.com/2014/06/09/dance-central-spotlight/) for Xbox One were to be announced? Microsoft always said it would offer the device standalone, and now it's got a release date and price: October 7th for $150 ($50 less than the Windows version (http://www.engadget.com/2014/06/05/kinect-windows-preorder/), for those wondering). Even better: Kinect on Xbox One comes with the aforementioned new Dance Central game. Not a terrible nod to the most important third-party game studio (http://www.engadget.com/2014/05/13/xbox-one-without-kinect-harmonix/) making Kinect games.
