Unfortunately, Microsoft has announced that Kinect Star Wars and the absolutely amazing R2D2 inspired Star Wars Xbox 360 with Kinect bundle have both been delayed until next year. Both the game and the bundle were slated for a holiday 2011 release, but according to a Microsoft spokesperson, "Microsoft and LucasArts have elected to move the launch of Kinect Star Wars beyond holiday 2011 to ensure the full potential of this title is realized."
It's always frustrating when games are delayed, but I think it's generally a good thing when developers have more time to fine tune and polish their products. However, I'm sure many nerds and baby nerds are going to be sad that they'll have to go without an R2D2 Xbox 360 this holiday season. I'm very happy with my regular old fat Xbox 360, but I have to admit that I love the R2D2 redesign on the new version. As for the Kinect Star Wars, well, the force isn't exactly with me so I'm not too concerned. Dana Vinson, on the other hand, is very upset about the delay. Read Dana's Kinect Star Wars E3 2011 preview to learn more about the title.

This is disheartening. MY wife and I have been putting a little aside each paycheck just for this and we have it reserved, all with the plan of it being the main gift for Christmas....ergh.....

I'll just take this as a good thing. Gives me more time to save up for it, specially with all the big games about to come out this fall.

i would buy this bundle for the 360 and the controller itself, kinect and game aside, great case and controller

It's amazing what lucasarts will work on instead of Battlefront 3 or a Battlefront 1 & 2 HD port, they love easy money but won't go for the easy money/ making the fans happy, that's the best option if they want cash.

I remember seeing a video here about the hand signals/gestures for Kinect on this game, and I must say it was even embarrassing to watch, let alone play.
The game aesthetically looks very good though!, new art style, kinda bold looking (like all edges round-smooth-kinda looking, like MK) but they need to rework those Jedi hand gestures, also a light saber would feel more pleasant and organic, even if it is a plastic crap that breaks on the first drop.
All around is not bad, from what I've seen, so this screams: "We need to fix some game killer bugs, we need time!" I bet this was actually said by developers...lol

To me, the hilarious thing is that the bundle would probably be a much bigger financial success if it was launched flawed in time for xmas than it will if it plays perfectly but launched a month later.

LucasArts is not capable of releasing a polished product. This was a Microsoft decision, thru and thru. I bet it still launches with bad reviews down the line.

Honestly,George Lucas should cross platform Star Wars on to the Play Station 3 Move,the Nintendo Wii and we know it was on the X-Box 360 Kinect,George Lucas can make 3 times the money off his Star Wars franchise,but we all know George Lucas is a multi billionaire all ready so maybe he will cross plat form Star War games,I hope he does.

I would imagine due to the large amounts of complaints with lag the developers want to hold off and work more on the game to fix the problem and make the game more fluid (if possible).

So this is something else M$ stole from Nin? To inflate weak sales they release new models or colors every so often? I rarely buy anything besides the original models as the game library doesn't change.

this game looks like its gunna fail miserably, its an atrocity to the starwars franchise and I think that George Lucas should just pull the plug on the development of the game, but still bring out the console, or at least make it for the Move, as you can actually have more control with the usage of the nav contoller along with the move remote, cuz seriously, who would want to play this game with the unresponsive kinect?

Sucks for all of the die har Star Wars fans looking forward to picking that up this holiday...
In other news, the Gears of War 3 special edition Console and game bundle is still slated for it's September 20th release. which means I still have that week off from work!! I am so glad I decided to make a reservation for the Gears console instead of the Star Wars one, it just seemed to ggod to be true to have it this close to holiday.
nvserg
well that really sucks =o(
however, ill be too busy with BF3 and GW3 so this will give me the time. lets not forget uncharted 3 so this is perfect. I just wish they never canceled Indiana Jones from last year i think it was. i was looking foward to that. oh ya, I agree with RushXx87. so hopefully they will make it more solid =o)
d_dirdy
Well, thats too bad. I really wanted to get this but if I have to wait a little longer then I'll wait.
RushXx87
If you looked at the gameplay yea the graphics were solid but the gameplay itself reminded me of those old awful ps1 star wars games like Phatom Menace and Jedi Power Battles, so theres no doubt this game needs more work.
