Looks like the lag is almost gone now, I'm guessing by launch they'll have it as close to instantaneous as you can get with a camera.

Seems to me, from the wording, Ross was asked to give a date away deliberately. A bit of easy publicity - he's always endorsing stuff.

 

Whether or not its the real date is not the issue - he's got people talking about it.

Jonathan Ross FTW!

I suspected Natal to launch in October, or November anyway, makes sense.

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.

Do you have any real play test clips of natal with people playing it at a closer distance?  I dont, nor many has all that free room space to stand that far back from a TV.  Thats my only concern with Natal is if you need to stand back a certain distance for it to work properly.

The closer you are to a camera, the more accurate it will be. 

 

As far as distances go:

"A player standing anywhere between 0.8 and 4 metres from Natal is illuminated with infrared light."
