RUMOR: Natal going to be really expensive!

[mike_intellivision]

All of this information (see below for details) points to the fact that Natal will be $100 USD/ 100 euro.

It also is going to be more family fun fare than serious gaming.

The price point and competition are going to make it a tough sell.

Ironically, this is what everyone said -- except for Patcher -- when Natal was first announced.
