I'll give it 1 year to prove its worth. Then I'll buy it. If it has a shitty ass first year in terms of quality. I won't bother buying one... just like XBOX and the 360.

I doubt that. There have been so many iphone killers that didn't even come close to actually killing the iphone.

I was reading this article and Natal appears to be an add-on, so you wouldn't have to buy an entirely new system.

Don't worry about buying a whole new console — Natal is an add-on accessory for all existing Xbox 360s. That's great news for gamers who are tired of shelling out big bucks every five years for a whole new system.

I think it can. It jus depends on what you can do. What I saw at E3 was nothing that was really jaw dropping. What I would like to see is how you would play a first person shooter, or an rpg.

I think it has something to do with motion sensing, right? That new device for the 360?

Thats great! if you have an xbox...I think we have on of the oldest kind. But i bet they only work on 360's.

Yes it allows you to play games without touching anything. Kind of like the dsi has a few games that you play with your motions in front of the camera. The only problem is, it's not gonna work very well unless your in a green room. hah, seiously, they make it so hard, because the lighting has to be perfecr, as well as the angle and it has to have a blank wall. Maybe not though cause I remember playing a game that uses only my body in walmart, back in maybe 05.

Yea I think it does. I also heard that when it comes out, you can play all new and old games for the 360. If that's true, I wonder what playing a game like Gears of War will be like?

I'd give it a while to get updated and such to fix the little problems. It's not perfect yet. I don't really know if it will take out the wii though. Perhaps because 360 is for older crowds and the wii is for children.

Also to make it better I think they should come out with sensors to put on your arms. Nothing bulky but something that will help it out sense no one wants to have to put up a sheet or pain their room for it to work out amazing.

I agree, I don't think that this technology is perfected. The PS3's version of the Wiimote was much more responsive and impressive.

It's a hell of a lot more complicated than the eToy.

f*ck that. f*ck. That. f*ck all of this motion sensor bullshit. f*ck voice/face recognition. What happened to sitting down with a controller and actually playing a video game to gain absolute familiarity with the nomenclature? What happened to difficulty? Contra without the codes? Cyborg Justice? Fight Night using the anolog?

This.

I f*cking hate using motion sensors.

I just hope they don't go to PC games with this motion sensor bullshit.

cause its a cash crop


i agree with AI, beat GTA4 without dying more than 3 times, took me like 6 months as a kid to beat f*cking battle toads



btw, this isn't the last of it, ive had vivid dreams about these things, pretty soon, instead of watching TV, your gonna be wearing a contact lens with a screen built inside of it, theres gonna be no controllers anymore, but a computer chip thats either gonna be inside your brain or arm or dick or whatever, and prostitute robots like in the movie AI cept not as charming as Jude Law but more of a fleshlight with arms and legs
