Kinect Accessories Announced

The Kinect is just around the corner, coming to stores this November. The motion sensor where you are the controller, you won’t need any accessories right? Or so you would think! The first Xbox 360 Kinect Accessories have been revealed, although they are just a floor stand, wall and TV mounts and extension cable.  Made by PDP and licensed by Microsoft, they do however look quite good (the wall mout is my favourite) and definitely have their practical uses, which makes a nice change from the majority of motion sensor accessories (like the Wii has). At the moment, these have only been announced for the US although it is extremely likely that these, or an equivalent, will eventually make their way to UK shores too. The products are as follows:

* Wall Mount for Kinect, SRP: $14.99 – The Wall Mount provides a quick and easy solution for mounting your valuable Kinect for Xbox 360 to the wall

* TV Mount for Kinect, SRP: $39.99 – The TV Mount uses the VESA spec standard as a one-and-all solution for mounting Kinect for Xbox 360 to any size TV (from 26” to 60”)

* Cable Extension for Kinect, SRP: $49.99 – The Cable Extension for Kinect will allow you to extend your connection by over 9 feet, allowing you to place Kinect for Xbox 360 virtually anywhere in your living space

* Floor Stand for Kinect, SRP: $29.99 – With a large tripod base and secure locking mechanism, the Floor Stand is designed to allow the Kinect Sensor to be elevated above the floor  to help protect the Kinect for Xbox 360 from foot traffic and dirt

If these come to the UK, you can be sure they will be available on GamingZap.com (or at least a very similar equivalent if not).
