Microsoft New Zealand has announced a pre-Christmas bundle consisting of an Xbox 360 250GB console, the Kinect motion-sensing peripheral, and the Kinect Adventures game will soon be available at retail for $599.

An official launch date for Kinect in New Zealand is yet to be set. Subsequently there's no official date for this Xbox 360 bundle as yet, although PR for Xbox New Zealand has confirmed that it will release "this side of Christmas".
