Last I heard it was one year from launch/end of 2014.
Will be interesting to see what the charge for it is, hopefully it's not too much as I'd like to keep using for the life of the console. Wishful thinking is they scrap it altogether after the recent paywall changes, but can't see it.
I'm hoping Ubisoft do a new You Shape game, as they were quite good on the 360.
Used it sometimes, but the room the xbox in isn't really suited to it, not that much room and upstairs over the lounge with a squeaky floor!
But when I have used it, it has been very good, tried a few of the 5 day routines and they do work.

thats not much cheaper than the kinect models?
Associate
I think the cheaper prices with the kinect was timed deals only like the Titanfall bundle, otherwise the X1 was £425 if I remember correctly.
Still not a massive drop but hopefully help them in the long run.

Saw kinect bundle with titanfall and either watch dogs or wolfenstein for £409
£399 for the Kinect version or £389 for the Titanfall bundle, from Asda at least. Those are likely to be RRP or thereabouts.

You kind of get the impression the kinectless version isn't to actually push more sales of the console without kinect but to by comparison make the normal version seem better value.
A £400 console with kinect and one or if lucky two games doesn't look great value on it's own, but put a box out without kinect or a game for £349, suddenly it looks like £50 more gets you a game(worth £45) and Kinect for only £40 more.
No kinect and a game at £330 or something or a no extras box for £299 would see sales increase significantly I would think. They've got a lot of ground to make up on the PS4 and price is one of their only tools to push sales much higher yet they don't seem to be trying.
The external drive support works great apart from it not completely shutting down my USB3 hub powered drive. Its always spinning even when the console is powered completely down. Hopefully they will fix this as otherwise its a great idea.
