For now, it seems a little on the expensive side.  If they can hook people in with some quality bundled software, I may give it a look.

It's been said before - software will make or break Natal.

I think we will see some games released with Natal just like Nintendo did with the Wii. I  really want to play that brick breaker game and can't wait to use it for Fable 3.

why no option for thinking it's a fine price?

I think the price point under 100$ is fine. Let's not forget that this isn't a Wii sensor bar which already costs between 20-40$ depending what type you buy. It would be cool to have a game bundled with it and I'm pretty sure they will in the same manner Wii Sports was bundled with the Wii. Don't expect an epic game though. Probably will be mini games to demonstrate the different things you can do with Natal. I really hope this thing is all what it's promised to be. Not only for gaming but for all the other things you can do with it such as selection without a remote and communications.

Wii Fit Plus is $100 (game is $20 plus an $80 board) and that sells like the proverbial hotcakes. So anything under $100 seems like a decent deal to me.

Ditto.

I'll probably still pass on it.

I think the price is very reasonable and I'm shocked it is so low. But I am not interested in this type of technology. I will wait awhile before I even think about picking it up. Not a high priority for me at all.

I was thinking it would be around this price.  A friend of mine was trying to tell me a few months ago it would be around $300.  I told him he was crazy but he was convinced.  So he'd think this was mega cheap!

I think it's a good price, expected it to be higher.  I'm not really interested in Natal, but that may change after it comes out. I'm a sucker for new crap. But really I think this is mostly to attract the attention of all those non-gamers who fell for the Wii. I don't want to move or flail around to play my games, and that little boy they were interacting with at E3 is just plain creepy!

Meh, I'm not into Natal at all.

Videogames are my way of relaxing, not flailing my body around, which is why I sold my Wii after about 6 months of it collecting dust.

BTW, I voted: "cheaper than I thought, but I'm still not getting it"

Voted Cheaper than I thought but still not interested.

I'm surprised it's under the $100 with MS at the wheel.  They want $80-$100 for a chincy Wi Fi adapter; I figured this tech would be through the roof!

Overall though, the tech looks mildly interesting, but I already have a Wii if I want to flail my arms around.  It's not likely I'd ever get the device, but if it were to pick up wide support and actually work (not as vague as some Wii movements are), it might raise my interest some.  In no way would I be an early adopter....maybe I can land another broken one down the road?
