Was about to post saying: It may be old but it's still loving cool.


So now just discuss.

Source?

Now I want Xbox 360. =(

Too bad it's a complete fake and I bet it won't work half as good as they make it out to.

I just don't believe that some camera can allow smooth flawless motion sensing. IMO Natal will fail.

The only price speculation has been $150, derp.

Jimmy Fallon & company played it, seems like it works fine. I don't see how it could be "a complete fake". And FYI, that video was from the developers of Fable. The game is real, but that video was not.

For one thing, they've never said it's "some camera", just like Nintendo never said "infrared light detector thingy". BUT, it's not a perfect piece of technology. You can't expect it to be flawless, and if you did, you're an idiot. Even at the press conference, you saw kud- kad- kalasla-... that guy mess up the avatar in some weird ways because it's not 'flawless.'

Just to be clear, I'm not defending it like the holy grail of gaming. I'm not sure what to think of it, however, people should stop handicapped speculation until more information is actually released. It might be good, or it might turn out to be another Wii; Play it for an hour and the gimmick wears off.

Well maybe I worded myself bit badly, but I still don't think it will be that great as they show in videos.

How can it tell who to scan and where they are when there are a lot of people there?  How can it differentiate between moving objects and not think a cat is your arm?  No way is this possible without some sort of device you put on your body.

"Motion" detection. It probably CAN'T differentiate between many objects, but the primary feature (speculation) is that it reads multiple forms of information; Motion, colors, lighting, etc.

Probably not.
