I've heard from an industry insider that NATAL will be released on the 30th of October in the United Kingdom and the RRP will be £49.99.

50 quid!? So thats about 60 euros. I honestly thought it would be at least 100£/€.

It actually works out at €57.5 or $76.1. As far as i'm aware the UK gets the worst pricing on gaming products due to some tax we have over here on electronic products so the rest of Europe and the US could get a better deal.

£49.99 Thats a pretty cheap price from MS. I thought it would be atleast £70. Even the 250GB is £80 over in the UK.

But it makes sense it costing so little considering the whole purpose of NATAL is to lure the casuals away from the Wii.

If it costs too much then the only people who would buy it would be current 360 owners.

Current exchange rate: 1 British pound = 1.52 U.S. dollars

so 50 British pounds = 75.79 U.S. dollars

However, Brits have a value added tax that screws them invisibly so while $75 is reasonable it might end up at $65 in the US.

I'm not interested in natal either but at least it's more original than move.

Thats a decent price, but I won't take anything as fact until Microsoft gives an official statement.

True. But Move seems like it would be able to output more games.

$49.99 in the USA with 15-20 games would sell like HOT-CAKES!!!
