You are getting: a $28 (Kinect Adventure), $20 (Kinect Carnival), $25 (3 Months of Live) and $399.99 (Xbox 360 250gig w/ Kinect) when the xbox is priced by it's self at $299.99 and the kinect is $130.99 this is a great deal for someone with a family or kids.

I received the package in RECORD time, which surprised the *$%# out of me. It got to me (and I live in Alaska) in 4 days from the time I ordered it to the day my wife sent me the text saying it was on our doorstep. The contents were well packaged and nothing was scratched or tampered with. It was really easy to setup, if I can set it up then I guarentee that anyone else can. The kinect sits on top of my entertainment center next to my dvd player, and it works great. Even my shortie 3 year old son can play it (albeit he doesn't quite get the concept). All in all it is a great deal. The only thing I had a problem with was that in the bundle package, it's supposed to have two games and it only came with 1 hardcopy game. The second game has to be downloaded via wifi. I dont have wifi in my house, and I am probably the only one in the U.S. who doesn't. But other than that, no complaints.

For the same price you can buy the 360 250 gb bundle WITH 2 games, and then buy the kinect bundle with games. You end up with two extra games for the same price??? This bundle does not make sense to me.

Well, I already have an xbox 360 for myself. This purchase was for my niece, who has gone on forever about getting a kinect for her room. So, I bought her this one and so far, she's loving every minute of it. Kinect Adventures, she says, is fun and a good party game and she loves playing the carnival game. I couldn't get into that one myself but she seems to enjoy it tons.

Also, she's definitely loving all the kinect apps on the marketplace and now she wants dance central 2.

Anyway, this package seems to be a wonderful package for all ages, especially for the kids, and she just can't get enough of it.

Love amazon and buy from them all the time but this bundle is available from the Microsoft store for 299.00 through Monday.

VERY VERY Easy set up. picked up the WI Fi..I thought I would have to do it like my computer. Had it all hooked up and downloading up date in 10 mins. Will definitely buy from Warehouse Deals again. I don't think the items in this box were ever opened just the main box. I will come back after my Grandson gets his Christmas Present early....

11/26 - My Grandson Loves it!!!! He wore himself out boxing today...he is 8 yrs old. I put the kinnect on the top of the desk and it works great. Have about less room than is recommended. I got the Holiday Bundle - He loves the circus games...I loved watching him...He figured it out quicker than I thought...He loves the soccer game - he beat me...It was the best thing I could have bought him...

Updated my Xbox360 system with the Kenetic Sensor Unit and new Xbox360 250 GB console, seem to work great with the games offered for it, purchased couple of exercise programs to use with it, amazed at how much information is used by programs to customizes the workouts for the games. Xbox live has some great Kenetic Demos to DL so you can try before you buy for all ages. Unit uses a camera, sound, and infrared to record your motions, great for family times, groups or alone, 4 thumbs up for this product. Xbox live is updating it service so you'll be able to do Facebook with built in camera, net flicks, etc.

Works great! A lot of fun for the kidos and adults. Make sure you're at least six feet away from the Kinect. Worth every penny.

This is a great bundle, don't let me rating deter you from that fact. You save about 150.00$

However, if you're a gamer, and in your late teens, early 20's.. or Older! I wouldn't suggest this particular bundle.

The games it comes with are very cheesy. I played it for about an hour, and found, while fun.. it wasn't my cup of tea.

My nephews on the other hand ( 2 and 4 ) loved jumping around, and matching the screen. Fun for kids, but as for a young adult, not great.

Kinect is usually directed at my age group ( 20's ) in commercials, however, it's not. You will be very bored with these games, and other kinect games after a short time of play. My 360 gets a lot of game time, but my kinect is just a dust collector.

We love playing with the XBox in general. The controls are very easy to use. My 9 year old figured out his games all on his own. The Kinect games are great family fun. It does take some re-arraging of furniture to get it to work, and the 6' space that they say that you need for 1 person is in-accurate, you really need more like 8'. We ended up purchasing the "Zoom" not a microsoft product, but you can find it just about anywhere, and it works great.We did have to almost completly move the couch out of the room, we have a very long room so we are able to make our couch in a diagnal scooted out of view. But it is not a direct view of the TV anymore. So we are now looking into purchasing some bean bags for the room so that the kids can sit in front of the TV to watch or play games and then when we use the Kinect we can just toss them out of the way. Another thing is that the XBox is not compatible with the older model TV's. It almost looked like we were playing an atari! We ended up updating our newer TV and moving that to the XBox room, it now looks and sounds great. All in all, it is well worth the newer tehcnology.
