This review is from: Xbox 360 Kinect AC Adapter/ Power Supply (Video Game)
I'm trying to be careful because my original Xbox 360 has already broken once and a used Kinect I bought also was broken. Therefore, I want a power supply which is made by Microsoft. This page says that the product is made by Microsoft, but the product I received was not. It was made by gaminghost and it is made for the "X-360 Ki-Nect." I have submitted this info to Amazon and am returning the product.

If you didn't buy the stand-alone Kinect Sensor system, this is the adapter you'll need to connect the Kinect camera with older XBOX 360 consoles (Xenon, Zephyr, Falcon, Opus, Jasper motherboards). One end of the cable will plug into the Kinect. This Y-shaped cable splits the connection: one USB to communicate with your XBOX 360 and another to plug into your A/C outlet for power.
Ever since I bought the XBOX 360/Kinect bundle, I've been waiting for this adapter cable to connect the Kinect with my old XBOX 360 (my old system is in the bedroom, and the slim one is in the living room).
This adapter is sold by Microsoft at full retail price. You're also going to be paying the full shipping price unless there's a shipping promotion. I may have chosen this path but it's also constantly out-of-stock, so I decided to wait.
I'm glad I waited for Amazon (and its merchants). The price is roughly 15% off the retail - 20% if you get free super saver shipping. Mine...Read more

It does what it says.,

Let's just say this.
When you buy a kinect BY ITSELF, it should come with the adapter.
If you bought a bundle, as I did, it doesn't.
It is available right now from the Microsoft store, it's not bad price-wise.
But if you want to use your kinect on an older model XBOX, you need it. Plain and simple.
Microsoft's shipping was quick. Don't stress over the adapter.
Just order it and move on with your life.
