Microsoft did not reveal the price of their new controller-free gaming and interface platform Kinect during their E3 conference, but it seems that U.S. video game retailer GameStop has revealed it for them.

Check out USA Today’s report for more information. We’ll go hands-on with whatever we can at the show this week, and we’re sure to learn more at tomorrow’s Microsoft event.
