    If Natal is 150 at launch then it is DOA. I'm not saying its a 1:1 but i think 150.00 was what the 32 X cost back in the day and we all know how that worked out.

    I don't see how it will bring in the casual gamers at $150.

    It's kind of hard to judge a price point because we don't really know exactly what Natal is capable of. Microsoft has done a lot of talking about Natal but not a whole lot of showing, besides E3 last year with Milo and the other tech demos. We still don't really know what this does for real games.

    You're comparing a game proven to change the foundations of platform game design to a camera with literally zero interesting looking applications as it stands.

    One of those things is 2D and the other has 3D capabilities, saying they are the same thing is incorrect just like if someone said it was just another Mario. Again, not comparing Natal to Mario 64(lol), I'm saying both statements are wrong.

    That extra dimension is meaningless if it's not used properly, and if it's not used properly like their lineup of games and demos they've shown would suggest, it is just another 2d camera that happens to be able to play boring games.

    $150 USD would equate to something a lot then what I would be paying for it in Aussie dollars and I don't think I would even pay 150 for it in our money. I intend to sit tight and wait for the games to come out because I have no intention on forking out that kind of cash to play WiiSports on my Xbox.

    How about this: make a console that can do 1080p at 60fps, with more polygons on screen than before.  Throw in mouse support.  Motion control is demented.

    80 bucks and maybe they would have had me but no unless they BLOW ME THE FUCK AWAY at E3 they can have their camera, and Sony can keep their Wii Wanna-be. Both of them need to quit with this bullshit or show us something worthwhile.

    I fail to see how $150 is cheap.  For $50 more you can buy the console it self.  Talk about a failure on Microsoft's part.

     When Michael Pachter was talkin' $50, I was interested.  When rumors surfaced closer to a full game price, I was still open.  At $150 I am completely closed off.  I better be able to virtually feel up the DOA girls for that price, and since I doubt that's going to be a selling feature, I'm going to have to take a pass on Natal until it comes down to something more reasonable.  And it will.  If it starts at $150, then Microsoft has wiggle room to drop the price and make us all think we are getting at bargain at $99 next year.  I can wait until Natal is cheap and hopefully by then there will be more available for the device than Wii-clone games.  Until then, let's see if Sony's Move will be priced more sensibly.  I doubt it, but stranger things have happened.

    I knew it was all too good
    but anyone realize that the move is more than this probably since it requires multiple controllers but this just need one thing

    $50 sounded cheap and Sony said that the Playstation Move will be under $100, but $150!!! That better come with a ton load of GOOD games or else I'm just getting the Move. Sorry Micro$oft, you ain't catching me!!

    $150 is a HUGE mistake. $100 is iffy still. This needs to come in around $89 or less if they expect to sell millions and keep the developers coming back for more than a test run.

    Come now. The N64 expansion pack was used far more than the Wii motion plus is being used now. I can name three significant games that support the WMP off the top of my head (Wii Sports Resort and... Red Steel 2? Oh, and Tiger Woods, I guess).
     
     I can name 3 games that required the Expansion pack (DK64, Perfect Dark, Majora's Mask) and a few more that supported it (Resident Evil 2. Rouge Squadron). That's... 5! And those were some of the N64's better games. Plus it was already packed in, and you didn't need to buy more than one, so I consider the comparison less than great. 
     
    Now if we talked about the wii speak, or Rob the Robot. Or the Controller Pack. Or the GBA to Gamecube link cable. Or the E Reader. Or the Super Scope. You get the idea.

    Someone on Kotaku commented that what if they're just throwing out the 150 price point, so that when the 100 dollar price point is shown people will perceive it as a bargain.  I'm willing to get behind that theory.

    Agreed, though I guess they definitely doing this because many of the Wii audience only purchased the console for novelty purposes, and have not since purchased any games. They want to make sure that it can move games before they think about minimizing the initial 'profit' margin.

    Though I am interested in the whole no controller thing, especially for the dashboard. $150 is way to steep for me. I'll wait till under 100.

    if natal ends up being as cool as they are making it look, then $150 isn't really that bad of a deal, because unlike the other 2 companies' motion controllers, you wouldn't have to buy more than one of them to accommodate multiple players, nor would you need add-ons like wii motion plus or the nunchuk. 
    but hey, even so, here's hoping the rumor's not true and it's going to launch at less than $100, because that would really kick ass.

    I really can't see myself using it very much, No matter what the price.
    But I will say Under $100 and I WILL buy it,   Over $100 and they can fuck themselves since I'll never use the damn thing anyway.

    $150 standalone, $300 bundle with console 
     
    Would be perfect. $150 isn't bad. People who bitch about the price fail to realize that MS charges $50 for controllers, and nintendo makes you buy a wiimote and nunchuck separate, also wii motion+ 
     
    For less than the price of 3 games you can get a natal...and if they bundle each natal with a game, even if it's a shitty tech demo mini game collection it still isn't a bad deal.

    I have to say that I think if it's a 150 dollars than it will fail but I have felt that it would fail since hearing about it, I don't have any faith that it will do anything other than flop especially since they removed the chip.
     
    I guess we will see though.

    What the hell is their problem? I mean, if the price is true, then I don't think it will sell. Then again, look at the hard drives and the wireless components. Damn, it's so frustrating.
