I'm just skeptical of it's uses, and just how much it would add to gaming over a regular camera with proper software.

I know that Natal is way more advanced than the Eyetoy. Don't get me wrong, the technology is great. But I don't see how it ADDS anything to gaming. Yes, developers seem to be excited, but so far, I haven't seen any concrete examples of how Natal will add anything to gaming. The one thing Natal has going for it right now, is the huge amount of hype Microsoft is putting behind it.
Maybe we'll see something at E3, but until then, I'll remain skeptical.
