Project Natal Got a release date and price.

Now I have absolutely no faith in the project. I think this is a bullshit tactic and they are going to announce the technology has been incorporated into the new X-Box in a few months. "It's so good we made a new console out of it", which was the plan from the get-go.

So you're saying they took a page from Nintendo's playbook?

That would make alot of sense since they haven't bothered to slimline the system.

Did Microsoft slimline the first xbox? Of course not. It's not a standard practice anymore outside of handhelds and Sony consoles.

[Rusty Venture]

I don't think there was a way to slimline the original Xbox short of using magic, I don't remember there being much room in there.

They probably could have used a laptop HDD, but that wasn't going to make the console smaller.

[old man]

I suspect they'll do what they're currently doing, and make a budget, elite, and Natal system available.

Nevertheless, I want to see this thing in action for real, not some lame dodgeball tech demo in a perfect environment. At this point, it's "tits or GTFO" for Natal. I'm calling BS bigtime on its "concept" video.

Well, the original XBOX was huge because they used off the shelf components. Sony manages to compact their systems because Sony was a pioneer of CD technology and has the background to create custom CD/DVD drives. Every Sony system used custom drive components. Microsoft can barely tie their own shoes, so they have to buy PC DVD drives and throw in security lockouts. XBOX could've probably taken on a Gamecube form (but larger) if they had stacked a laptop drive on top of the disc drive and changed the motherboard layout. Still, it was fine as it is, the original XBOX actually worked, lol.

If Microsoft can look inside your 360 to see if you have modchips installed through the internet, whose to say they can't look through your Natal and see what your doing?

I now love the Natal:



now find a way to hack into it O_O

I've had a long time to think about the Natal, and I still can't come up with much of anything in the way of types of games that would be good for it. The dodgeball demo was neat, but not indicative of broad usefulness. It's technology searching for a purpose.

I approve of this use of Natal. It will never actually be like that, but it would be jawusum.

If I could only remember the name of that big breasted chick who was filmed playing Nintendo's current home system nekkid.

This proves that the Wii is designed for casual gamers.
