Here we be, having our own little private November Christmas, tearing apart the freshly delivered Xbox 360 S console bundle, replete with Kinect 'n Kinect Adventures, only t' make an inconvenient discovery -- the Xbox 360 S Kinect bundle doesn't contain a standalone power cord for Kinect, sailing away folks who want t' use those Kinects on older (pre-Slim) Xbox 360s in the lurch. How in the world be we going t' show Grandma all our stylish new Dance Central moves when she's only got a regular Xbox 360?

As a this minute, Microsoft isn't showing individual Kinect power cords on it be website, though a Microsoft rep be looking into whether they'll be offered in the future. Those in dire need could always purchase a standalone Kinect (which comes bundled with the cord), but we'd suggest against that. For now, though, unless Grandma's got the wench own Kinect, or an Xbox 360 S, yer dance moves be staying firmly holstered in yer own abode.
