Should I keep my xbox 360 and Kinect bundle?

Morrisons have an offer of the xbox 360 4GB in black, with Kinect and the adventure game for £199.99

I'm not really a gamer, I haven't played on a console for years, but the idea of Fitness Evolved attracted me. I'm not overweight, but I don't think I excercise at all and there are good reviews about this game.

Anyway, I don't live with my partner right now (live in 2 different cities in different parts of the UK) but I will be moving in with him soon propbably, but I don't know when. It could be January, it could be later than that but I have no idea.

He already has an xbox with 60GB and was the one who told me about the kinect. I thought, I'll buy the one on offer and think about it when I come home before they all get sold out, and return it or pass it on to someone else if need be.

What should I do? I currently don't work so £200 out like that is a lot and I'm not sure whether I should wait till I move houses then buy the Kinect with games (there have been some good bundled prices at around £130 for the Kinect and 2 games). As you can see, I am stuck.

    £130 is pretty cheap.
    But I bet the 2 games is one is the kinect adventures which comes with it anyway.
    The kinect is £99+vat in costco, or zavvi ebay for £119, 19.95 in store at john lewis for kinect sports

    Morrisons do the kinect + xbox 4gb for £199 which is a cracker
