LINKdotNET, Egypt’s leading internet service provider, announced today an exclusive special discount on the Xbox 360 KINECT for all existing and new customers.
The Xbox 360 KINECT (previously known as Project Natal) is a revolutionary controller-free gaming and entertainment experience developed by Microsoft for the Xbox 360 video game platform. Through a webcam-style add-on, the KINECT sensor allows users to physically become the game controller rather than use a hand-held joystick to play the game. The camera scans the player’s physical attributes and records gestures, spoken commands and presented objects and images, allowing the player to control every movement and object on-screen. Players may introduce objects, such as a skateboard, to the motion sensor that will be scanned into the game allowing the on-screen avatar to thereby use a virtual skateboard.
The Xbox 360 KINECT is ideal for all family members with gaming platforms tailored to children, young adults, parents and professionals. By requiring the player to be the controller, the Xbox 360 KINECT guarantees an engaging and physically active gaming experience that can be used for exercise, educational purposes such as teaching children how to look after virtual pets, and role play situations. All games can be played online with other Xbox 360 users.
For the first time in Egypt, KINECT is available at all LINKdotNET branches across Egypt at a very special discount for all existing and new LINKDSL customers after being released worldwide last November which received an unprecedented success with Microsoft’s sales to reach about 2.5 million units of KINECT in less than a month. 
Karim Beshara; CEO of LINKdotNET stated: “KINECT is considered a new and advanced innovation in the entertainment world and this is what drove us to introduce it for the first time in the Egyptian market as a value added service to all LINKDSL customers. This initiative comes in line with LINKdotNET’s keenness on introducing all what is new in the entertainment world and make it available to all its customers.
Ayman Abdel Latif; General Manager of Microsoft Egypt added: “We are really excited about introducing KINECT for the first time in Egypt through LINKdotNET’s promotion since the product is considered a breakthrough in the entertainment and virtual world.” 
Ihab Wagih; General Manager Pluto Games added: “It is of great pleasure for Pluto – Microsoft’s partner in The Middle East - to provide a special and exclusive offer to existing and new LINKdotNET customers.  The KINECT is a new miracle for the Xbox 360 since it is a simple yet fun and exciting new technology suitable for all ages that allows them to interact and communicate with friends all over the world through the internet as well as watching movies and listening to the latest songs and buying games and trying them either online or offline. It truly is a milestone in the entertainment world.”
