Dear manufacturers: let celebrity tweeters near your top secret projects and this is what happens.

As well as getting a play on Natal yesterday, UK celeb Jonathan Ross has apparently dropped something of a megaton about the 360 motion camera: it’s release date.

As tweeted here:

OK. Before bed. Natal on X Box impressive. Not quite there yet i think but tye have til october and if they get it right…skys the limit.

October, eh? There’s only one place that could have come from, and presumably it was Microsoft at the demo yesterday. Unless Wossy’s just making things up, obviously.

Microsoft’s never given a specific date for the peripheral’s launch, other than later this year.

We’ve asked for comment.

So, could be an October launch, although previous rumours suggested November so perhaps Ross just means they can tinker and improve it until October and then have to produce and ship for a November launch. Who knows.

Oh, and here's the clip:

Seems a bit unresponsive/inaccurate still, but 8 months to go.

Reminds me of when Stephen Fry leaked Fable 3 on Twitter by announcing that Lionhead were using him for voice acting. British comedians/presenters seem unable to keep their mouths shut lol.

Actually, it was Wossy who leaked Fable III too. lol. He got in a bit of trouble about that, so you'd have thought he'd have learnt his lesson.

Looks like the PS Eye to me. Nothing special in it. :/

I don't think it will flop at all, i'm just saying I don't see the big deal with Natal.

I see the big deal with it.

YES IT IS!!! LOL

Seriously though, the lag was still quite big in that video, MS still need to work on it

Looks amazing, plays amazing IS amazing.

look at the tek! once you get ur hands on this people will wet themselves the same as the wii did

CANT wait

i'm joking, from what i've seen (and whats been said) its 100x better than pseye

I'm not saying it IS the PS Eye. I'm saying it is very SIMILAR to the PS Eye..and so far it does NOT interest ME.
