Retailers List Kinect at $150
However, both Amazon.com and GameStop note that official pricing has yet to be announced, cautioning that the price is an estimate and subject to change--a statement curiously absent from the Microsoft Store listing. In addition, all three retailers offer guarantees that if the price should change, pre-orders will reflect the lower price.
In related news, Microsoft recently responded to concerns that Kinect's tracking technology would not function properly in-game if the player was sitting down, telling Kotaku that "sitting is something we're still calibrating for" but assuring the site that "entertainment" features, like gesture-controlled movie playback, will work at launch.
[Update - Jun 23, 2010 10:30am CST] The Microsoft Store now states "Official pricing has not been announced. $149.99 is an estimate only and subject to change."

replyI guess that's about the same as the PS Eye, Move, and move addon, no? Although Sony's stuff looks to have more practical application, at least at the moment...

Sony's price depends on how many controllers you'll use and what type (some games will use one Move controller, some will use two, some will use one Move and one "Nunchuk"), and how many players you have.
I do some of the math here:
