scruffybr writes "Today the first information about the pricing and launch of Microsoft’s Project Natal has emerged. The pricing for the hardware will be much much lower than many had anticipated, coming in at around £50 when sold separately from the console. The idea being that it’s low enough that people will purchase on impulse."

So if everybody will just PLEASE STOP BUYING WII'S!!! Dammit!
If you really want wireless controllers that you just wave around, just hold on another 12-24 months and we promise, and this time we really mean it, we will make something really great. It will be totally great.
If we decide to actually follow through.
