Topic: project natal (kinect): $150

And they get the lightsaber game instead of the wii. = ( (i'm getting natal but wm+ makes sense for starwars)

Microsoft and Sony lack innovation and brains. Natal is going to bring law suits more than likely and Move is just a Wii remote clone.

Go competition...?

Fixed.

So your pretty much just leaving Micro$oft out of the competition eh? lol

Am I the only one that suspects the Kinect leak is some kind of joke to show how bad I'd could have been and at their show they will blind us with awesomeness ?

I'm not an Xbox fanboy but this just sounds so bad I don't believe it (I'm talking about the leaked gameslist btw) because Kinectimals=contract brand name with animal="awesome name for game" (Nintendogs) is just well too obvious

Ok the Wii remote's 1:1 is iffy but I won't get into that.

Deal is it doesn't have to be improved, Sony just wants the same setup for their system.

Considering Nintendo took the idea from someone else, I don't see why everyone is hating on Sony (actually yes I do when I look at the URL..)

First impression of KInect reveal event
http://www.destructoid.com/e3-10-impressions-from-the-natal-k...

I think people are overreacting to the name "Kinect." A lot of people thought "Wii" sounded horrible at first too.....

IGN did a preview of the games that were there. They thought "Kinect Sports" was pretty bad, but "Joy Ride" seemed pretty good (well, if the way it controls feels confortable anyway....): http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/109/1096900p1.html

Maybe Microsoft could have a special deal for people who, say, got Windows 7, or already got a 360.

Kinectimals....it is like they made a sony eyepet, but thought that was too obvious, so they thought "what did nintendo do? nintendogs? 360mals....xboxofmonkeys......kinectimals!"

I am more excited for the 360 slim.

I like Kinect (The name, not necesarilly the hardware), it is catchy and is a clever play on words; Kinetic Energy (Used to play) and connect, the community side of it. It will be interesting if MS will have anything of note to display for it at E3!

They showed some clips on inside xbox and i got a glisimple of this awesome star wars games.

Don't hold your breath on that Star Wars game. It might be great... but might be utter trash too. All that we can say for certain at this point is that the movie shown was weak. The actor wasn't interacting with the game at all, but just reacting (badly) to a movie of what they hope gameplay might look like when it's actually ready.

Yeah. Hopefully it will be cheaper.

People shouldn't expect to like Kinect anyways, MS and Sony will be targeting the same groups Nintendo has been targeting. Kids and Moms. Look to their software effort if you want "gamers" stuff.

Huh it looks like they did it.

Also i'm trading in my 360 to get the slim and i can keep my hard drive (lookin at you nintendo)

Just watched the whole conference and i'm impressed they kept my hardcore side satisfied and i'm lovin ESPN for live and Dance central.

Vader's in it, so I expect another depressing waste of time like The Force Unleashed. >:/

Bah, still no price for Kinect but we now know that it is slated for a November release. I wasn't very impressed by the Kinect games at Microsoft's press conference. Their whole show was pretty much all Kinect related. At least the new Xbox (not so)slim looked pretty cool.

Well, they certainly have no shame when it comes to imitating their competition (Kinect Sports, Kinectimals). I didn't catch the final price of all this: I saw that they have some new 360 model for $300, but that is still without Kinect, right? Or did they announce an all-encompassing console+Kinect product? I'm curious to know how much this family-aimed product will really cost a household that wants to come on board, because that will be crucial to its success or failure.
