Leaked prices for Microsoft’s upcoming Project Natal give it a supposed price in the region of $200, far from the $80 price point previously touted.
Three Swedish retailers have begun listing the device at 1,499 krona, some $200 in real money. Swedish prices are likely to be somewhat higher than prices elsewhere, but not 150% higher, so if correct this represents something of an upset.
Previous estimates of the final price were $80 or less, certainly an easy sell, but immediate doubts have been raised about the controller succeeding at a price equivalent to that of a full console.
doesn’t no one see that the pic is hilarious? some father plays a eroge in front of his family. o.O is this the future?
*Petrified*
I expected this s♥♥t to cost that much since the day of release.
What, you think they’d pass on the opportunity to get lots of cash from children and naive customers? Who wouldn’t want to be able to “be” in the game as a badly motion-tracked transluscent figure?
Also, I find it funny that Xbox fanboys are already hailing Natal like it’s a gift from God himself, saying it’s the ultimate piece of hardware and is better than any other motion-sensing device around even though we’ve only seen like 4 real gameplay videos which featured ~10 seconds footage of a game of bouncing red balls… how exciting, it’s like most of the Wii’s shovelware, and 2 or 3 mocked up promotionals, one of which contained Pete Molyneux’s lies.
All these Natal article pics make me lol
Well we can wait, if the reviews are good then i’ll buy, for now, no.
