While this is not official news yet, the price point would not surprise me. My thoughts for this accessory is that if it costs over $100, then it will fail. Hopefully with upcoming E3 news, we will have more info about games and price point. I personally think that this accessory will not go over well with such a high price point, games pack in or not. What is your "cut off price" for picking up Natal?

If it works like it is supposed to I think 150 will be about right. However if there are any problems with it they will quickly become this years Ride.

$150? No thanks. I'm more interested in the redesigned 360 slim that is supposedly coming out at the same time as Natal to be honest.

[buzz_n64]

No way I'm buying that if it's $150, not even with pack in games and gold subscription. LMAO! I'll MAYBE pick it up for $60.

Agreed.. I hope my launch 360 can hold out that long.

No more warranty coverage. I've been putting off buying the awesome Halo:OTSD/Forza 3 Elite bundle, for the Valhalla chipset.

*dreams about switchable, internal hard drives, you can buy off the shelf, like the PS3*

Obviously with the name; they intend this to be marketed towards babies. Envision a world where babies can freely flail their arms about and scream and actually interact with a video game. I'm sure that the underserviced birth-3 yrs market is aflutter with excitement.

Seriously though I'd be interested in a slim 360 if my Jasper ever craps out. Natal; not so much not even at 99.00.

Agreed. I'm willing to dish out that much if it works like it is supposed to. Better to pay $150 for better more reliable tech than $100 for a piece o' crap in a box.

With that being said hopefully it isn't a piece o' crap in a box.

The PS3 move is supposed to be under $100. I'm thinking $99.99 but that's for the camera, game, everything.

With Natal you're technically getting all accessories required. No controllers needed so there's technically a controller already for everyone. With the Playstation Move you need to purchase a Move for each person that will be playing the game plus the Nunchuku peripheral.

Natal originally did interest me that last E3, but since then we really haven't heard anything new about it. Atleast move we know what we're getting. With Natal all we know is there's a line up of about a dozen games.

The success of either of them will be how many of the systems fanboys are interested. I'll be picking up a Move after a price drop, if I can get it on sale, or the slim chance that some amazing motion control game comes out that I have to have(and how many motion control games I liked with the Wii I can say more than likely not going to happen.) With Natal I'll have to pick up a 360 and Natal, but it really depends on how good it is, and more than likely I won't pick it up until it's bundled. The good thing is if I do pick it up then I'll be able to pick up some of the 360 exclusives I want.

No way I'm buying that if it's $150, not even with pack in games and gold subscription. LMAO! I'll MAYBE pick it up for $60.

You do know that a pack in game and a one year gold subscription of XBL would be $100-110? If that was the case then it would be worth it depending on how good the pack in game was.

I think this will totally change the way we play games , obviously simply point and clicking isnt enough anymore (rolls eyes). Meh more pointless motion stuff

$150 is pretty steep. Of course, I said the same thing about the $90 Wii Fit balance board and millions of those have already sold at that price. Then again, Nintendo has a way of making miracles come true.

I know this is just a rumor for now but if that were the final price I'd have no choice but to pass. I'm already interested in it but they need to make it more affordable. E3 will reveal all.

[portnoyd]

I think I'll save the $150 and not have to flail around like a retard when I play my games in HD.

[otaku]

this is what sucks about MS they charge you for wifi, then live (that is kind of resonable) then they charge you for this and at such a high price! I always buy it probably will this too but dammit I hate how they do these things

Yeah, but you're buying it. Don't buy it. The only way that Apple can get away with all the ridiculous pricing, is because there are enough goofballs out there that will practically pay anything for their stuff. Same thing with Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony. All 3 of them charge ridiculous amounts for various add-ons.

Still, $150 is bat shit crazy. The only way $150 could really make any sense, is if they are including a killer app that is just going to blow everybody out the water. I'm talking about something like Oblivion or Fallout, but you're actually having interactions with all the NPC's ala the Milo tech demo. Could you imagine having actual conversations with NPC's? Slightly interesting ones? Sure, the conversations wouldn't be legitimate in the slightest, and they'd just be programmed A.I. with many vocabulary and understanding limitations, but if they could just fake it nicely.... it would be sweet.

Ok I've been thinking about this a lot(that's not sad or anything right?) and I think I've figured it out. I'll have no problem paying 150 for it even if it only comes with the Milo "game" as long as when I take my pants off he asks me if my name is Michael Jackson.

One of the video's comments: "one small step for man. one giant step for every pedophile with a couple hundred bucks laying around"

[Icarus Moonsight]

That begs the question, "How depraved can one go in the realm of pedo-jokes?". In answer, I submit; Project Pre-Natal.

Does anyone else think parents will spend more time with "Milo" than with their actual children?

Call me a sucker but if a Sam & Max game is released for Natal and is done well I really want to try it. I doubt it'll happen but hey.
