Microsoft E3 Press Conference

My thoughts exactly. Not only can Natal be used for the motion sensing, but it opens new doors to character and avatar creation in RPG games like it discussed: Mass Effect, Fallout, etc.

 

[InsaneNutter]

How much do you think it will cost? I’m thinking around the £50 mark but hopefully it will be cheaper to encourage people to buy it.

 

[Dark Scyth]

I think it'll cost more because if Microsoft can get away with it, they will. I have a feeling it'll be $100 here. (= to £71)

 

[Safinn]

I think more than the Wireless Adapter which is £60 so I'm guessing around about £70-£80.

 

[Dark Scyth]

Somthing i've been wondering though, can Natal work like a regular vision cam? If it can be used in a Video Chat (which I assume yes). The clarity of it would be so much better then that of a regular Vision Cam.

 

[Safinn]

In the natal video it looked very impressive quality wise when the girls where having a video chat so I do think it will be slightly better than the regular vision camera.

 

[P.KID]

this mite not be rite but theres a rumor that natal is going to be around £80-£90...

 

[Safinn]

I would not be suprised to see it at £100 when first released because they know people will buy it for that much so why not make as much as they can when they can and then they may lower the price down later on.

 

[InsaneNutter]

If it was £100 that would be as much as a 360 arcade!

Then again rumours are going about that this is Microsoft’s alternative to a new console.

 

[Safinn]

Its just the wireless adapter is £60 and for something so much more advanced such as natal it's going to be expensive.

 

[Dark Scyth]

If it was £100 that would be as much as a 360 arcade!

An arcade console here would be = to £140.

I hate Mircosoft...

 

[InsaneNutter]

Well if you shop around you will get one at that price, most places sell them for £110 to £130 but I have seen quite a few deals for a £99.99 arcade lately.

Safinn has a good point, the wireless adaptor and most 360 accessories are massively overpriced... Microsoft actually might want to encourage people to buy this.

I can hope anyway, I want this... just not at a silly price

 

[MunkyMagikUK]

I don't think I'd pay anything above £40 for this y'know, it just doesn't interest me enough to want it.

 

[KillerWhiteMan]

Like you guys have said, the wireless adapter is way overpriced, so I wouldn't pay much more than what the adapters cost for the Natal. I think that if Microsoft wants to sell this thing well, and have it picked up by mass amounts of gamers, they should make it affordable.
