Kinect Banned in China
Submitted by Julio Mena
It has been reported that the Kinect motion control device for the Xbox 360 console, much like the Xbox 360 console, will not be sold in China as a result of an edict issued in 2000 by China's Ministry of Culture. Although Microsoft China COO Michel Van Der Be did not indicate whether Microsoft would appeal the ban, he reportedly stated that the company does intend to cooperate with Chinese laws.
Despite the ban, it has been reported that although there are some legal game consoles available in China, there exists a significant "grey market" for these products.
