Rumours point to higher RRP than previously thought; Final branding has been given the go ahead

MCV has been lead to believe that reports citing a $149 RRP (£103) for Microsoft’s Project Natal are accurate.

The number was reported on Edge Online this afternoon, which credtited the information to a ‘trusted source’. Edge also claims that natal will be bundled with the Xbox 360 Arcade for $299 (£207).

The numbers are far in excess of what MCV had been lead to believe late last year when we reported that the device would retail for around £50, suggesting that there has been a change of strategy at Microsoft.

In addition to all of this, CVG has it on good authority that Microsoft has now decided on the final branding for Natal, with a key retail partner having been already given the nod to get to work on POS for carrying the still secret name – which, incidentally, is set to be revealed at E3.

i still think it is less than 100 but even at this price point it can sell if they  provide good games and hevaily advertise it

if its going to be £207 with an arcade then that leads me to believe a price cut on the 360, i predict it will be back down to £129 with natal at £100 so buying in bundle you get saving.
