Kinect Star Wars Console Bundle Priced & Dated

Kinect Star Wars console bundle

A Star Wars game for Microsoft’s Kinect peripheral had to happen at some point. If you are anything like me, when Kinect was revealed to the world at E3 2009, one of the first things you thought upon seeing the new controller was – ‘Light Sabers’. We first saw the Kinect only title at E3 2011, and it is due to be released in April this year. Microsoft lifted the lid on a Limited Edition Kinect Star Wars console bundle a few months later – the bundle includes a rather swanky looking Star Wars themed 320gb Slim Xbox 360 Console, C-3PO themed Controller, Kinect Star Wars game and for the first time a white Kinect sensor.

Kinect Star Wars features five different game modes – Jedi Destiny: Dark Side Rising, Podracing, Rancor Rampage, Galactic Dance Off and Duels of Fate. Surely enough game modes to keep Star Wars fans of all ages happy.

In addition to the console bundle, Lucas Arts also announced today additions to the Jedi Destiny game mode;

 “Space battles: As you travel the Galaxy to face an evil that threatens to undermine the fabric of the Republic, you’ll engage with forces of the Empire in intense space battles

 Speeder Bikes and Landspeeders: Pilot iconic Speeder Bikes and Landspeeders on your epic journey 

New duels: Battle opponents like Count Dooku and Darth Vader on your journey to become a Jedi”

Additionally, the Star Wars Kinect console bundle will feature an exclusive C-3PO unlockable dance mode, so you can wiggle those splangly golden hips until your heart’s content.

The console bundle will be priced at £349.99, and you can get your Jedi on in the UK on April 3rd.
