Microsoft to Sell Xbone Without Kinect, Removing Gold Paywall for Netflix

Even though they've been adamant that the Xbox One would never come without Kinect, Microsoft has just announced a version without it. Starting June 9th, you can buy a Kinectless Xbox One for $399.



In other Xbox news, Microsoft is also removing the Gold requirement from streaming services like Netflix and Hulu Plus, meaning customers won't have to pay twice to watch streaming video on their Xbox.
