Say NO to Project Natal!

I watched it too and it did seem as if the little girl was acting from a script, but I believe she was actually plaing with Kinect. As were the other games they demonstrated. The Kinect sports looked as fun or more than Wii sports and it seemed to be responsive enough. The fitness game looked as if it had about a half second delay, could be the big screen video display was slightly delayed though. I'll wait till they have display kiosks in the stores till I judge that facet.

The only thing that I see as a big issue will be price. If it comes out under a hundred bucks with the sports game as a pack-in, I think it'll sell pretty decent. If it comes out at $150, then I think it's gonna sell really poorly. We'll see. I think it's a very cool concept, though, and the demo fleshed out all the details as to how it'll work for menus without a controller or remote. It looked very cool to me.

But the little girl and her Tiger kinda creeped me out, honestly.

How do they pay more for less?

Last time I checked, It's backwards compatible, and they never spent $600 on a true brikk(there aren't many good games for the PS3 now, but there were none back when the PS3 costed 600 bucks, yet dumb fanboys still bought it.

After Sony dropped the price, they took out BC, so for the same price as the price dropped PS3, you can have a BC 360, which has tons of more games/support then the PS3 will ever have. It's better to have a gaming feature, then a non gaming feature(not to mention there were other features Sony took out as well, needless to say, 360 does more for less then the PS3 ever did).

If you're gonna make such claims, you better be specific, but lets assume you aren't a moron/Sony fanboy, and that you're focusing on "'only" online play, and how it costs money. Well guess what, you're more or less wrong again, even though they need to pay for online, the entire system is based on online play, and there are an insane amount of games that fully utulize it due to that fact(where It's doubtful the PS3 will ever have 10% of the amount of games, that the 360 has, and anyway It's main focus Isn't online play to begin with, It's shiny look at me graphics/Blue-Ray, a non gaming feature).

Believe me, people that get into online play, especially with FPS, happily spend that fee(I don't understand how people can have fun playing a FPS for 3 or more hours in a session, but anyway a ton of people do), so they are getting much more to begin with, then the PS3 even has to offer.

Back on topic: Like I said, Natel is just gonna be ignored anyway, because 360 supporters aren't dumb enough to buy into such crap

PS. I'm possitive Sony fanboys will pay that insane $100 for the PS move though(that is no doubt going to be pretty crappy as well, not as bad as Natel sure, but still, shiny crap, is still crap).

I'll step in for 17days on this one.

Wireless 360 Controllers: 5 bucks cheaper than Sony's, but if you want rechargeable batteries, the price goes up to $65.

Wifi: Included on the PS3 from launch, $100 bucks extra if you wanna go the 1st party route with Microsoft. Obviously only applies to old models of the 360 and not the new ones.

Harddrives: Sony will let you throw in practically ANY laptop harddrive into your console, while Microsoft will charge you $130 bucks for 120 gb's of space. That might not sound shitty until you realize you can throw a 500 gb hdd in your PS3 for under $100.

There are other things Microsoft charges more for less, but you should get the gist of it.

In MS's defense this new 360 is quite a step forward, basically to me this is what the 360 should have been this whole time. If this was the 360 on the market 2 years ago when I was on the fence between the PS3 and 360, I would have had one hell of a time choosing.

I think it looks cool, looks better than the Wii and Sony Motion thing.

Still saying no.

The world watched, let out one collective sigh, shrugged and then moved on.

Blessed these revived threads be.

Anybody watching the presentation of PlayStation Move right now? And I thought Kinect already looked stupid...

Oh god, Microsoft's Presentation for the "Kinect"or whatever the hell it's called now, was terrible.
I'm not going to go on about it, but I still have no hope for this thing. It may pave the way for better things to come though. I'm not going to lie about that.

Or you could just use rechargeable AA batteries... (or have your own choice -and replace them almost instantly rather than waiting for a charge, plus go for super long periods if you're willing to use lithiums)

PS2 and 360 both still have ethernet too, right? (one downside to the Wii)


And MS may fianlly have addressed the technical problems with the 360, but that doesn't change the fact that the PS3 is more reliable by far.

You still have to buy rechargeable batteries though, and the cheapest ones I'm seeing from BestBuy are $16, so I really don't see where you're saving a lot of money there. There are 4 in a pack I guess, but you're still getting nickel and dimed for something that's been included on Dual Shock 3's and Six Axis controller's since launch.

I was just wondering. Why come up with a pseudoname like "Project Natal" and act all cool about it's pronounciation, Natal (with the accent on the last syllable), as if Nathan Barnatt was saying it as Trale Lewous? It's ridiculus. Lmao. Anyways, why go through all that trouble making "Natal" sound all cool like Skittaels and change the name to Kinect?
