Speaking to my local Game store in UK Plymouth today, I asked about any info on NAtal and release.

They have recived an E-Mail from M$ about a week ago. It states that M$ are bringing out a new Natal 360. It also stated it would be priced somewhere between the Arcade and Pro package. Those already owning a 360 can buy the Natal on it's own. No actual release date was given to Game. However M$ did state that the new console is still a 360. As the E-mail states 360 + Natal Officila package. I know the manager there so they tell me loads of stuff ( and I get my weed there ).

This is not a new Xbox console but simply a official bundle to go against the Wii.

I stated back on June 2nd, if M$ were to really try and beat Nintendo Wii they would need to have an official bundle. So you get everything in one box. That is exactly what M$ are doing. Also most Game staff in there are telling people who want to buy wii's about waiting for Natal. They even have Natal playing on the TV's overhead in store sometimes. After seeing it, it seems M$ may be having an effect long before it releases in the next 12 months.

 

Cool info if true.  A $250 price point to compete with the Wii would be a winner.  Even if Wii drops in price the graphical difference in the 360 with the more advanced 3d motion controls should make up the difference.

BTW the off topic flaming in this thread needs to stop.
