You have to admit it's pretty funny though. And let's say in the worst case, this can't be fixed... I don't think they would launch it. That would just be asking for trouble.

Imagine the advertisment:

"Jump in! Social experiences for the whole family *

* unless you are black"

Yeah, really. I mean, like NJ5 said, they found out about it before release. I don't see this as the biggest fail in gaming history when the device isn't even completed yet.

I can tell Natal will be a hit with BNP...

maybe its ''unless you are fat'' which would be funnier

My point is, this is 0% confirmed and the fanboys are already having a field day, see post below.

LOL,  that would be some pretty damning fine print.  The media meltdown from this would be astounding.

Dont blacks like the ps triple more

The issue is the tech is built around a particular wavelength of light. Microsoft, no matter how much money they dump into it, cannot change the behaviour of light. I think it may be a very big issue and perhaps one of the reasons Natal is so far away from release.

The problem was with the long rasta hair and not with the color of the skin

Yep, sure does look like it doesn't work for people with dark skin. 3rd video down.
