As I don't have an XBOX 360 -- I see that I can purchase the camera with one game:

or even at Walmart :

My question for those that know is this -- if I do that, do I still need to purchase the additional power supply?

Can't really find much information on "what comes in the box" as I am not at all familiar with this camera setup.

Thanks in advance,

You will very very likely need the power supply. The new Kinects have an custom USB connector to the xbox that powers it.

The PSU provides a socket that matches this to the Kinect and then power to it. The other end is then standard USB.

Ironically, I found the cheapest source for me to be direct from Microsoft fulfillment and was very fast too.

I bought mine at walmart,

I previously went to see the price and accidently moved it to another shelve.

Then upon returning to buy a few weeks later I thought they were out of them,

Nope, It was right were I put it, Next to the Playstations (where I hid it behind the other boxes, heh heh).

If you buy the Kinect at Walmart by itself, It came with the power cord adapter thing that you need.

Cheers

I can validate that information. If you purchase the 'Kinect camera with Kinect adventures" - you do get the power supply as well as the adapter.

Got mine at Gamestop. No worries - Hope this does help anyone else who wants to get this for their MoCap setup.
