I still think Natal is going to cost 100 dollars if not more, just looking at the hard drive, and wifi adapter MS sells.

You're ignoring the Arcade then. It's been said a hundred times before though, MS can afford to sell those products at a massive premium, they don't need mass adoption like they do natal.

The arcade is not an addon, and you guys are just hoping it's cheap, based on MS pricing, their addons are usually very expensive as I noted.

I agree that Natal won't be coming cheap but I don't think it will come in over $100 either.  Microsoft does not sell accessories cheap and they will not be losing money on hardware (I don't expect Sony to sell Move at a loss either).  Not knowing what the cost to produce Natal is I figure an $80-$90 price tag with a tech demo disc (Something like Wii Play).  Gamers have shown they are willing to pay for games with different controllers (Guitar Hero, Wii Fit, Rock Band), so neither Sony nor Microsoft need to give their tech away.  They just need to make it so the consumer can see value.
