PC edition of innovative motion controller to launch across 12 countries

Microsoft will roll out an official PC edition of Kinect on February 1st, Microsoft has announced.
Hardware will be sold in limited quantities across 12 countries - United Kingdom, United States, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand and Spain.

“Developers who have existing non-commercial deployments using our beta 2 SDK may continue using beta 2 and the Kinect for Xbox 360 hardware,” Microsoft said.
“To accommodate this, we are extending the time of the beta 2 license from June 16, 2013 for three more years, to June 16, 2016.
“However, we expect that as Kinect for Windows hardware becomes readily available, developers will shift their development efforts to Kinect for Windows hardware in conjunction with the latest SDK and runtime.”
