Upgrade your O2 mobile phone to an Xbox 360 with Kinect

O2O2 UK is offering the new motion-sensitive Kinect for Xbox 360 video gaming device in selected O2 stores as part of a Christmas package for its customers.

O2 'pay monthly' customers eligible for an upgrade can buy an Xbox 360 gaming package for £189.99 and commit to a new £25 per month two-year contract instead of choosing a new phone. The package includes a Microsoft Xbox 360 console with a 250GB hard drive and Kinect for Xbox 360 with Kinect Adventures. The package costs £389.99 without an upgrade and is available from just 40 O2 shops. A similar upgrade deal including a Sony PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Move is also available.

Richard Baylis, General Manager for O2 Retail, said "There’s a huge demand for innovative gaming experiences like Kinect for Xbox 360 and PlayStation Move this Christmas. With great value offers on consoles and accessories, we’re really excited to be offering our customers exciting gaming products in our stores."
