MCV has been lead to believe that reports citing a $149 RRP (£103) for Microsoft’s Project Natal are accurate.

The number was reported on Edge Online this afternoon, which credtited the information to a ‘trusted source’. Edge also claims that natal will be bundled with the Xbox 360 Arcade for $299 (£207).

The numbers are far in excess of what MCV had been lead to believe late last year when we reported that the device would retail for around £50, suggesting that there has been a change of strategy at Microsoft.

In addition to all of this, CVG has it on good authority that Microsoft has now decided on the final branding for Natal, with a key retail partner having been already given the nod to get to work on POS for carrying the still secret name – which, incidentally, is set to be revealed at E3.

i still think it is less than 100 but even at this price point it can sell if they  provide good games and hevaily advertise it

lol IF this is true, it's not SOny who are having trouble with 'leaks' this time around :D

That's way too much for an add-on...

I'm still waiting until the announcement to make any decisions. The fact that no official name, price or games have been announced this year for it makes it almost impossible for me to judge.

I really hope that includes a bundled game or two. If not, ouch.

Nintendo managed to make the balance board the best selling peripheral of all time for $99.99. If the $149 price tag is true, maybe Microsoft thinks they'll be able to pull off a Wii Fit.

I doubt it wouldn't come with at least one game to show off the technology.

LOL

MVC confirm it eh, who the hell are they to confirm it?

£100 for an add on? Annnnnnd that's the end of Natal in the UK at least. The 360 is the budget HD console. To have then a pricey-as-hell accessory, well that's just retarded with a capital "Duh".

They better have some serious MUST-HAVE-RIGHTNOW! titles if they want Natal to sell at that price. For me it would be a day one purchase if they price it around 80 dollars, I'd get it just to mess around with it.

More then 100 dollars and I'll only get it if there are 3 or 4 games I really want for it (same amount of musthave games a console needs to have before I consider buying it).

150 dollars would just be too much, then it really would be like buying a new console.
