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.

USA Today is reporting not only this name change, but also a short lineup of games (including a revamped Kinect-controlled Joy Ride). Other games include Kinectimals, a game that lets you play with cats; the Wii Sports-esque Kinect Sports; a game called Kinect Adventures and a dance title from MTV.

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.
