Is the $500 asking price of Xbox One too rich for your blood? Turns out youre not alone, and Microsofts responding: the price of the Xbox One is dropping to $400, and the companys dropping Kinect from the box as well. Starting June 9th, the Xbox One will be sold in a second bundle sans Kinect (a standalone version of Xbox Ones Kinect will be available this fall, should you wish to add one later on).
