      It started 50 minutes ago, so I doubt it. "
    I think it's at 7:00 PM PST not EST...so it actually doesn't start for 2 hours. It airs 3:30 PM EST on Tuesday on MTV.
     
    I suspect at the very least we'll get a confirmation of the name, price, and release date leaked out of the event later tonight.

    After looking at the name, it made much sense. A portmanteau of kinetic and connect. Natal served its purpose as a codename for its emergence of another level of motion controls.

    "Oh, "Kinect" like "kinetic."  FUN! "

    Too bad you can't pronounce Kinect only when you are drunk.

    Kinect says absolutely jack shit about what it is and what you are supposed to do with it. Hell, Kinect sounds more like a physics engine if anything.

    How did they even come up with Natal? I looked it up on Dictionary.com and got this: 
     

      natal    na·tal  (nāt'l) 
    adj.

    1.   Of,  relating  to,  or  accompanying  birth.

    2.   Of  or  relating  to  the  buttocks.
