The Kinect Zoom lens from Nyko looks set to make Kinect finally usable for those who have smaller rooms, sadly however it looks like you’re going to have to wait an extra month to get your hands on it.

The Zoom’s release date is supposed to be August 13th however both Amazon and Gamestop have changed the products listing to a new September 13th release date.

This new peripheral will cut the space required to use the Kinect by almost half and impressed critics at E3 this year.

Microsoft has officially warned against using the Zoom as it is a 3rd party peripheral and therefore is not supported by them.

Will the Nyko Zoom make Kinect more appealing to you?
