Natal is an amazing concept for an interface to PCs. I am very excited about it, maybe even hook it up to a TV instead of a remote control. Definitely getting one once all the bugs are stamped out/

As a video gaming controller it is shit and worthless for any genre that I can think of other than ones I can get on the Wii anyhow. Just look at how laughably pathetic the Half-Life 2 video leak was.

So basically what you are saying is that you are going to spend $50-$100 for a mouse? And how does it being on consoles affect your enjoyment of it?

well, it will be used as a way to push game design backwards and focus on over charging us for tech that is many years old (natal) and spending hundreds of millions of $ to media and organizations to act like its worth it to rip off poor unsuspecting parents and old folks. That is MS's plan.

It has uses on the PC, because some people with disabilities can use it to navigate and it dumbs down the input so that even those with mental disabilities may be able to operate a PC with it. For the XBOX it does nothing but gimmick. That's it.

Vlad has been saying how he wants to buy it. He also says he in't going to use it for games. So I'm not sure what that^ had to do with me
