Amazon listing points to unannounced Xbox 360 with Kinect Nike+ bundle (update)

Posted on 22/11/2012 by Mark Hearn

Earlier this year, Microsoft announced its Xbox 360 holiday bundles, but 'tis the season of excess! Someone at Amazon appears to have jumped the gun, as a product posting reveals an unannounced Xbox 360 with Kinect Nike+ bundle, which begins shipping on December 4th. Priced at $300, this package includes a 4GB Xbox 360, Kinect sensor, Nike+ Kinect Training game and one month of Xbox Live Gold. Though the Amazon product page is listed as "by Microsoft," we still reached out to the folks from Redmond for confirmation and were completely stonewalled. Of course, if you're looking for an excuse to delay your new post-holiday fitness regimen, you could always take the gamble of waiting for this bundle to become official. Call us bonkers, but we're pretty sure that it's a safe bet.

Update: Microsoft's Larry Hryb (aka Major Nelson) has confirmed Amazon's listing of this bundle via Twitter.

Nike+ Kinect Training arrives October 30th, looks to whip you into shape for $50

Posted on 24/07/2012 by Billy Steele

We caught a glimpse of that Nike+ Kinect Training had to offer back at E3. Now, we'll all be able to give it our best shot just before the holiday season. The Kinect exercise title for the Xbox 360 is set to hit shelves on October 30th and will carry a $49.99 price tag. Claiming to make us "athlete-fit", the software will offer constant tips on form and technique while monthly reports will display progress along the way. Still no word on companion apps for mobile platforms, but the kit is expected to play nice with Windows Phone devices at launch for session reminders and sharing achievements with training mates.

Nike allies with Xbox 360 for Nike+ Kinect Training: real-time feedback, training reminders through your phone

Posted on 04/06/2012 by Mat Smith

Nike took to Microsoft's stage at E3 to announce a new fitness feature for your Kinect, Nike+ Kinect Training. We're told it'll make us "athlete-fit", with constant feedback on technique and every four weeks, it'll even re-assess your progress. The setup will also ~~nag~~ remind you through Windows Phone of incoming training sessions -- though there's no specifics on whether the fitness setup will play nice with other mobile platforms. The companion phone app will also allow you to compare and share progress with friends also using the training program.
