Where can I find Kinect for Xbox 360 is a question that many people are going to be asking this year. Why? Because they're going to be almost impossible to find. It's sure to be this year's must-have, can't-find gift, like the Wii a few years ago, Tickle me Elmo, Cabbage Patch Kids, Zhu Zhu pets, and on and on. It's like every year there is one of these items, and this year it's the Kinect.

So what is Kinect for Xbox 360 and why does everyone have to have it? Wii has had the market cornered on motion sensing for the last few years, but now Xbox has jumped in with a big difference - it doesn't use controllers, it uses cameras to sense your motion. This makes it so that it can track your arms and legs, too, so you're really almost part of the game.

The other difference is that Kinect uses 4 microphones to keep track of what you're saying, so that your voice can be part of the game, and you can control the DVD player with voice commands.

What's the best place to find Kinect for Xbox 360? Some recommended places to look are Amazon, Ebay, and Best Buy. I like Amazon, because they sell them direct for the regular ...
... price, but if they're sold out they have many partners that also sell them, though you may pay a little extra.

Another great place to shop for Kinect is Best Buy online. It's a good place because if you have problems with the product you can take it back to your local store. Also, you can order it online and pick it up at the store, if they have it in stock.

What if you can't find it on Amazon or Best Buy? You can alway find it at Ebay.com. Ebay has thousands of different sellers, and you can find anything you're looking for including the Kinect at any time. The biggest problem with Ebay is you'll have to pay more than the retail price.

Another option is that if you can't find the sensor bar by itself, you can buy the Xbox 360 plus Kinect Bundle, and get the console too. In fact you'll have to do this if the person you're buying for doesn't already have and Xbox.
