- simba-hiiipower 13y agothanks for the clarification; i wasn't aware of the driver distinction between the two. however, it seems we're both right on the connector part.. it originally used standard usb but has since been updated to use a different connector. from wikipedia [1]: > Because the Kinect sensor's motorized tilt mechanism requires more power than the Xbox 360's USB ports can supply, the device makes use of a proprietary connector combining USB communication with additional power. Redesigned Xbox 360 S models include a special AUX port for accommodating the connector, while older models require a special power supply cable (included with the sensor) that splits the connection into separate USB and power connections; power is supplied from the mains by way of an AC adapter ..having purchased by console after the refresh i wan't aware it ever supported standard usb. it seems this will carry-over to the xbox one as well, given it too has a dedicated port for the kinect [2]..
