Wasn't this on a episode of "better off ted"?

I think it had to do with the company replacing the regular doors with doors that automatically opened when they saw a person. But it wouldn't detect black people, so the company hired white people to walk around with the black employees so the doors would open. But before that happened, black people were getting stranded in bathrooms and rooms overnight

I need this. - The Gaming PC and PS4, and Xbox 360, and thePS3's . Well what are you looking at? What do you think I'm some kind of a jerk or something! - And this. That's all I need.

Yep, sure does look like it doesn't work for people with dark skin. 3rd video down.

End of thread?

So it works with some black people... but still it didn't work for N' Gai Croal. They need a heck of a lot more testing with all kinds of skins.

You'd think they would have atleast one black tester when they were making it. Not even that they meant to, but statistically it just seems likely. I'm sure there's a solution of some kind though.

where white gloves.

I was at an airport a couple years back and I went to the restroom. I was a punk kid so I picked up the "help phone" that was located by the door and I was like "I can't wash my hands! The sink won't turn on!" I didn't even try to wash my hands I was just trying to be a punk and the operator was like "Are you wearing a black shirt" and ironically... I was. Her solution was to get a piece of paper towel and hold in front of my shirt. And it worked.

Lol....weird. But anyways, yea, there were black celebrities using it. Sugar ray leonard, a hall of fame nfl running back. Forget his name, and there was one more african american celebrity. They all used it and loved it and the controls seemed very responsive.

Idk, where this odd info is spewing from.

wow at the overreaction, calm yourselves boys. Natal isn't going anywhere.

You have to admit it's pretty funny though. And let's say in the worst case, this can't be fixed... I don't think they would launch it. That would just be asking for trouble.

Imagine the advertisment:

"Jump in! Social experiences for the whole family *

* unless you are black"

maybe its ''unless you are fat'' which would be funnier

My point is, this is 0% confirmed and the fanboys are already having a field day, see post below.

It's hardly fanboy talk as much as it is reality. If it isn't fixed, Microsoft will see a shitstorm unlike few before it, if they release Natal like that

I doubt they wont find a fix for it though

stop embaressing yourself and look at the vid above

Shouldn't you believe the guy who said it didn't work for him though? Videos of it working for a minute and a happy celebrity don't prove or disprove that it didn't work for the person in question. Just shows that the problem isn't endemic, which is good.

Guess what. It stopped working for a white person on Good Morning America this morning. The damn thing just has some bugs. Get over it.

The video proves its not a skin issue though. It most likely just a bug (sounds logical right for a prototype?) so this thread gives out wrong info.

wait wait though, this doesn't sound right, didn't they show off celebrities using Natal, and a number of them were black. They appeared to have no issue.

Moneyhat !

Or they were wearing some white gloves.

Those videos posted don't look very responsive at all. Those guys were crashing into walls nonstop even the heavy editing and lack of actual gameplay couldn't hide it. I know you don't think MS paid those celebs to try it and say "this is trash!" do you?
