"Yet more from Microsoft's Open House conference in New York, which was held yesterday, Robbie Bach telling attendees that the Natal motion controller will start off pricey but get cheaper"

"Relative to Natal, we'll see how the pricing cost works out," the entertainment and devices boss told the great and good of the industry.

"But people should except that it will go through the usual price curve."



@nightsurge

You only read what you wanna like. Look, I've got a name, Robbie Bach PRESIDENT OF ENTERTAINMENT DIVISON, Microsoft, that's the one who said that. You got something to prove it wrong? fine! do it, but don't come here spouting shit about the source.

I'll believe Robbie in the meantime, I guess he knows his own business better than you.

Lol, again, irrelevant because of the age of the source.  Lots have changed since then.  Do come back now when you have something more recent and confirmed.

"Pricey" could be $100.  And "get cheaper" could mean within a matter of a few months it will be much cheaper.  Either way, you are only looking at the basic point of entry costs.  To get the full experience you pay one time for Natal, in full, up front.  Probably $100 or less.  For Move you have to buy the basic one player setup (which to get the full experience requires 2 Wands, PS Eye, and one nunchuck), and then even more for however many people you would like to play with at one time.  2 Players at a time is a kind of minimum so thats 4 wands, 2 Nunchucks, and PS Eye for that experience.
