It's definitely going to be bundled and I think the stand alone price will be cheap just so people adopt it fast. Probably around $70-$80 with a Wii Sports type of pack in game.

I'm betting it will coincide with a new Xbox 360, like a Xbox 360 Slim with Natal in the box.

That way Microsoft will be able to compete on equal ground with both the Wii and the PS3. I'm pretty sure that has been their plan the whole time for Natal.

EyeToy and Natal are similar technologies, MS should know now that if they don't want Natal end up like EyeToy they need to bulid-in or bundle-it. Sony know that too i wonder how they plan to do...

It's definitely going to be bundles as the standard Xbox 360 package and probably along side the launch of the Xbox 360 slim. I know Microsoft say's it's not coming, but unlike Sony Microsoft can keep secrets and if they don't want us to know about a slim Xbox we won't until it's on the shelves. They don't want to hurt sales this Christmas so we won't hear rumors until late January.

As for Natal vs Eyetoy. Natal is supposed to have an advanced proprietary chip so it could end up being much more capable then any of use expects. Eyetoy is really just a decent webcam and it relies on the console to process everything. Natal sound to me like it does all the work of an input device so developers can easily integrate it into a game like they would for a Wiimote or Six Axis.

What I want to know is how well it works in low light conditions. Hopefully it has some kind of night vision so you don't have to play games in the living room and can still play them sitting on the edge of your dorm room bed with the lights off so you don't disturb your roommate.

I dont think fable 3 will be a title for natal.
I think Molenuex (spelling) has something else in his head.

Natal will probably have alot of arcade titles like:

1 vs 100
and the ones shown on e3.

$100 for everyone core & HARDCORE.

I hope they can make it work with Hardcore games but then again there's an issue, on games like COD if integrated with Natal technology how can you run forward or turn around with out either bashing into the screen of the tv or having your back to it so you can't see what's going on? lol

It's still impressive stuff.
Blows anything Nintendo or Sony have presented (in terms of interactivity or wirelessness) ever.

Subject: Re: Natal Predictions Mon Sep 21, 2009 11:49 am

To be honest though I think the price at launch will be somewhere around $150. :S

Subject: Re: Natal Predictions Mon Sep 21, 2009 5:27 pm

The Natal Camera seperately w/ a game will cost no more than $79.99. Every 360 from them on will come bundled with Natal as well.

How much will it cost? It's cost has not been released yet but I estimate around $50. What a Face

Will it be bundled? From what I've researched it may be bundled. Razz

How many launch games? Undetermined. confused

Casuals only or hardcore appeal? It appears to be in between casual and hardcore. It's more towards the hardcore side for me. Twisted Evil
