| | | Rumor: Project Natal Loaded XBox360's Coming Next Year
Quote: |
News from the East. It looks like Microsoft is all set to produce Project Natal-equipped Xbox 360s by the second half of 2010. Might as well circle your calendar. California-based Aptina will produce the 1.3-megapixel CMOS sensor required to get Project Natal up and running.
| Ok, this might be reason enough to wait on an X360 for now. With any luck it might actually get a few minor updates to internal thingamajigs at the same time. Natal is going to be amazing IF it works as advertised.

| | | Methinks they won't release a Natal Integrated 360 right away. They probably could make more dough on a non-integrated setup.

| | | I don't think it would matter. Not everyone will chunk their old boxes for a new Natal based.

| | | natal will be an add-on, not included. and it is supposed to be backwards compatible, so you can use it with your 360 as it exists.

| | | Haven't you seen the original concept video? It can be used for a lot of things. Anything with melee fighting, skateboarding, driving, etc.

| | | the applications go far beyond gaming, and will be more useful in other areas.

| | | Hmmmm... I wonder how long till we are actually able to experience a virtual world, where we actually think we are in the game. Sort of like Total Recall or (Net Force book series)

some simulation of it could happen, but not where you thought you were actually in another place.
