Thinking about skipping KINECT and getting a PS3 instead of it, thoughts?

Kids have a bunch of 360 games. Their asshat dad broke their 360 somehow (it had the not reading disc issue and he took the whole thing apart and claims he can't remember where it is now).

I am thinking of going with the 360S Spring Value bundle and adding on an extra controller and headset and then something like the 500GB PS3 GTAV bundle. I don't think they'd use KINECT anyway.

An XBONE could be in the future, maybe Christmas. I am targeting buying this all in October for the kids (one of their 11th birthdays, the other one is a 15 year old missing the Xbox).

Thanks

Kinect is pretty lame, mostly gimmicky sports and party games. Id skip it.

Unless you feel like yelling at your Xbox 15 times instead of just pressing a button.

The 11 year old would probably enjoy the Kinect much more than the 15 year old. I'd probably go with the Kinectless bundle if I was buying a 360 at the moment.

I am going to guess it will be fairly hard to come buy an Xbox One (or PS4) for close to retail around Christmas. They will sell through and the shipments coming won't be very large.
