Grab a Kinect (with Child of Eden!) for $120 at Amazon (update: $100 through buy.com)

We were a bit discouraged when we checked Amazon's game deal of the day and saw that it was a paltry $10 discount on the PC version of Fable 3. But there are more exciting deals to be found this week (in addition to that great Halloween sale).

One of the retailer's "Deals of the Week" knocks 20% off the retail price of Kinect, allowing you to get the sensor, Kinect Adventures, and a download of Child of Eden for $119.99. You can also get the previous bundle, without Child of Eden, for the same price, if you really think you or the lucky recipient of this gift is going to hate Child of Eden that much.

Other week-long deals include Rift for $9, and (easy participant of the Halloween deal) FEAR 3 on PS3 or Xbox 360 for $28.

Update: Dealzon pointed out that it's currently $107.24 at buy.com -- and, if you go through Buy's eBay site, it's $99.99.]

YEAH! DOWN WITH CAPITALISM!!!

@houstons85

How have you not been banned yet?!

@houstons85 Looking at your other comments did Bill Gates kidnap you at birth and put you in a dark room and when you escaped did you vow to get revenge by posting negative comments about Microsoft? That or your a PlayStation fan boy one of the other.

@houstons85 I don't know. I totally agree with Houston85. What are the rest of you injecting directly into your brains? I've owned an X360 since launch and I would never, ever, ever, seriously never, buy this Wii-diculous add on. That would be like giving my kid a lobotomy. Why would I want to take something I love and turn it into something less than? I wouldn't buy a Move for my PS3 either. This gimmicky motion-gaming has seriously GOT TO STOP. It's not fun. It's not entertaining. I'm beginning to think the supporters of this nonsense are just stockholders in video game bargain bins.... as that's where most of these games end up.

I get where you're coming from. Seriously, I tried the Wii and was not impressed. My wife's family has 2 Wii's between them all and all it did was convince me to NOT get a Wii.

However, you must understand I have/had the same attitude as you. I thought Kinect sounded cool, but couldn't really see how or why I would need one. Then my friend, after months of harassment, finally got me to try his out and the shit is fun. Was it run out to the store right away and buy one serious? Hell no. But its enough to keep me watching out for price drops.

I'm not going to stop playing Fallout or Batman all of a sudden just because I get a Kinect. That's just dumb. Your complaint is like someone who hates football ranting that EA should stop making Madden.

Finally... Windows 8 with Metro UI is going to have Kinect functions at some point. If anything, I want a Kinect for this more than anything else. You probably don't have or use a home theater PC or have any PC hooked up to your TV to understand how insane that's going to be. Sitting on your couch and telling your PC, "Open YouTube, Seach Ginger Kids" and then navigating with no need for a mouse? Insanity.
