Kinect for Windows academic pricing now available in the US

If you thought the Kinect for Windows was too pricey for you to purchase and tinker around with, especially if you’re a student – we’ve got some good news for you. Today, Microsoft announced a special academic pricing on Kinect for Windows in the US. If you’re a student, educator or faculty with an accredited school (university, community college, vocational school or K-12), you will be able to purchase the Kinect for Windows at a special price of $149.99 instead of the usual $249.99. (In case you were wondering, Kinect for Windows does cost more than the Kinect for Xbox 360).

For those of you who qualify for such a purchase and would like to take advantage of this $100 reduction, just head over to the Microsoft Store today. Just make sure you have verification of your academic status in order to get the discount.
