Australian Details
While this package will put you back US$449 in the U.S., and even though our dollar is higher than the greenback, here in Australia the price looks to be AU$599.
The console is due to release before the end of the year both here and abroad.
The Kinect Star Wars game uses the Kinect controller-free system: the player performs body movements to control vehicles like the X-Wing and Pod Racer, use hands to use the Force to lift or throw on-screen objects, swing arms for lightsaber actions, use voice commands and jump to perform on-screen leaps.
