I did not realise they had confirmed a price for Natal or the PS Wands just yet, I was just looking at the technology and just thought that there was now way that Natal is going to be cheap, but if MS wants to make it cheaper that's cool I guess. Seriously have you got an article confirming the gem for that price yet, just wondering, anyway good job for finiding that info

Finally if they add on an analogue stick to the gem you will not need a dual shock controler, so you can remove that from the cost, I already have a PSEye, so of course my costs for buying the wands are not going to be as much as some.

Judging from MS's past pricing strategy, the only way Natal will be cheap is if was actually cheap to produce. This would mean that it's composed of cheap technology, I.E. the motion sensing technology wouldn't be as advanced as MS claims (possible proof of this could be found in its latest video leak exhibiting Half-Life 2). This would result to Natal not being much more than an advanced EyeToy, with similar quirky motion sensing technology.

Edit: Now playing FF8 too, btw ^_^

Judging from MS's history I would not be surprised if they have lied about Natal being more advanced than EyeToy, I saw the Half-Life video and was not very impressed at Natal either but there you go. I try not to be too judgemental however lol

Awesome about replaying FF8, where u at so far??
