is $149 natal REALLY that bad?

The move is just as expensive, if not more. the pricing would be as much as a higher quality webcam, which natal is. it probably also covers the cost of the free game(s?) that it will 100% come with.

dont forget natal works with X number of people, Move controller only works with 1.

The big thing is image quality when you use it as a webcam, I think everyone should wait till we know that before going off on the price

Here's a better question: Couldn't you have used one of the other three threads about the exact same thing to post this?

Both will be a waste of money. Neither are worth the price to play games that are 'ok' with it.

It's almost as expensive as the arcade, and half the price of the elite. I honestly think its set up for failure.

what is essentially a new controller is 3/4 the cost of the console itself... I'd say that's pretty bad

this I think it will be an epic failure

2 Wii controllers cost more than that if you buy 1st party.

2 controllers cost as much or more

2 Move controllers will probably cost around the same

Natal isnt for 1 person only. Microsoft isnt that dumb

$149... ?? no thx... I'll pass. $99... I'd probably jump in for that. If I had room in my game room for it, which I'm pretty sure I don't now.

yea but too bad people wont see that customers will just see the price differenbce shown and buy whats cheap.

the natal is a failure from the go.

i dont think its a bad price. but i heard they took out some features to lower the cost. ied rather have the features back and pay another 50 bucks to be honest.

$150 for a beefed up eyetoy will be a hard pill for the public to swallow. It may be fun for a little while and have an interesting game or two but it's probably not going to catch on and make a huge impact in the gaming market. I think natal is better suited in a PC type environment. Being able to do what you normally do without a mouse or touching the screen would be more practical.karasill

exactly and let's not forget one of the reasons for wiiis popularity was the low price being the cheaper console of all systems the natal being so expensive is it's downfall.

hold up where do you buy your controllers from. and I live in canada so we pay more :P

i wouldn't buy unless it was cheaper than 50-80 bucks.

so yea, it is a lot :P

The only thing I can think natal will benefit from is that once you buy it, thats it, you dont need to buy any other add ons. Howeverm with Move, you have to buy more Move controllers/subcontrollers if you want multiplayer games at home. But, then again, with the wii you had to do the same thintg, and that didnt seem to hurt them.

people want cheap, but they will pay the price if they want it. maybe we should wait to see what natal comes with, maybe it comes with a rare game. because we all know its coming with A game

the wii was a system not a periperal add on and priced cheap

the natal will not be a hit it will get hit it's bound to be as much as a hit as the psp go.

[QUOTE="Sword-Demon"] wuut? a 360 controller is less than $25, you would need 8 to match the price a wii controller + nunchuck is less than $35, you'd have to buy 4 to match itSword-Demon

idk, lately our prices have matched the states with alot of items, our 360 arcade is also 199.99

does the ps3 2006 ring a bell? sure lots of people wanted it but weren't willing to dish out until the price was more reasonable.

for microsofts sake I hope a month or two after they see their mistake they quickly lower the price.

casuals can buy the wii(black color at that),M+,resort,sports all for 50 dollars more which ones sounds more bang for your buck?

well hope fully it gets bundled with a full game and not a mini game. but ya I think sony was fine of the price because they thought of the price of bluray and the price of a game console and put both together

wiimote 40 bucks+numchuck 30 bucks+ wii motion plus 30 bucks= 100 bucks times 2 is 200 ps move mote 50bucks?+ ps nunchuck 40 buck?+ ps3 eye cam 30 bucks= 120 bucks another player add another 80-90 bucks for a grand total of 200 bucks natal 150 bucks that whole family can use= pricelessmonson21502

Four people on Natal at the same time sounds like a cluster ****

it's not like many people do research before shopping they just look at the price tag.

sorry but natal is bound for failure

The move costs 99$ for a controller, webcam, and game. Are we going to use the over time argument again like xbox 360 v. Playstation 3 price. Because I am pretty sure 100 $ < 150 $.

Unless we see some good games, yes, $150 is bad.

they did say not all games need the sub controller, but i bet 99% of games do

50 bucks less than a 360 arcade or a new black Wii with Wii sports 1 and 2 and Motion Plus? um this really failed before it even started didn't it.
