Is the XBOne worth buying without Kinect?

Or should I just buy the whole thing for the $500?

I've seen some sketchy reviews of the kinect software. With Destiny and Fifa about to come out I'm going to take the plunge and purchase. Advice?

I think the Kinect is worth it just for the voice controls but you can do just fine without it to.

I would only get the connect if you think you will use it for voice controls with your TV

I would save the $100 to put towards games

Buy the whole thing. Kinect is well worth more than a hundred bucks

I traded my Kinect in because I never used it. Plus, I felt stupid talking to my tv. I just want to play games.

I bought it with the connect. With the bundle I got, it was only $50 more for a Kinect. Figured why not. I like it, but I could live without it.

If you just want to play the games then the kinect isn't necessary.

I bought it without the Kinect because I don't have it hooked up to the TV with the cable box and don't miss it.

Figured I could but it on down the road if I end up hooking the Xbone up with the cable box.

Depends on if you are going to plug your Cable into the console.

Not worth it without the kinnect. Stick with the 360 till you can afford the ONE with tKinnect

Buy the Kinect

I moved my Xbox into my room to play destiny on my monitor and didn't bring the Kinect. I can't say how many times I tried to use voice commands to do stuff.
