Would you buy Natal?

I have been wondering myself these questions.

I wanted to know what the gameing community would do.

So If you all could ease my thoughts and vote in my poll.

Myself I dont think I would want this for anything other then family games and parlor games.

I think Microsoft is trying to hard to change our lives to bring new tech.

I also feel that most people are not ready for this control in their house hold.

Also most gamers dont keep their 360 in a liveing room or a large room for anyone to play.

They have it in their small bedrooms like I do lol!!

Anyways happy voteing and thank you in advance 8)

The choice I want isn't on there: "If it has great games for it"

I think Microsoft is trying to hard to change our lives to bring new tech.

They are just trying to cash in on the success that is Nintendo's motion controller. Casual gamers = majority of the gaming market... and MS has obviously been trying to lure more of this crowd to their console via: Facebook/Twitter/Avatars/easier video games etc...

I also feel that most people are not ready for this control in their house hold.

Many people thought that the world wasn't ready for the Wii either. They thought of it as a gimmick that will die within a short time; they were wrong. Natal is going to be the next "cool-gadget" to own, especially for those who want to make their entertainment center appear more tech-savvy. What other product out there will let you select a film with just your hands and voice?

Also most gamers dont keep their 360 in a liveing room or a large room for anyone to play.

Are you sure? Most of the gamers I know (particularly the casual gamers) keep their consoles in a living room or seperate game room.They don't keep it in their bedroom because they don't play it very often, and usually only play when they have company over.

theres a good chance i will buy depending on few my requirements

1: games that i believe will be fun. this is number one because if no good games then whats the point

2:Performance. how well dose natal read you and how fast recact to movments and all that good stuff. from what i seen so far looks good. Milo was first introduced it was on a private staged event but it did show how natal can pick up on small things like face emotions and some other things.

3: price is a killer. better be cheaper then the WIi.... around 100 bucks... 150 is pushing it because i can buy a dang wii for 200 new and have whole system just built on motion vs the 360 will be like a half-a

even if you keep it in bedrooms or small room microsoft is working on this to make work in about every room. this will be hard for people with small rooms. better start redesigning~~~~

No i wouldn't buy it i think it looks like a lame gimmick. Games should be played the way they are now with an controller.

I'm not buying this motion control BS. I refuse to support it. I dont want the X-box 360 turning into another Wii, full of games for old women and four year olds.

The day that this Natal BS is mandatory to play most games, I'm either going back to PC gaming or buying a PS3.

Well it really depends on games and price of it but i probably have to decline because there probably aint gonna be any good games for it.

I have no interest in Natal.

Eww, Natal? ergh. The thing looks so stupid, Why? Just why are Sony and Microsoft ripping off Nintendo? I won't be getting this, at all. Imo i think Microsoft should stop advertising on TV about features that aren't even on the 360 yet. All these commercials about "Watch Sky TV on your Xbox 360" It doesn't say anything about it's not actually out yet for the 360. Microsoft PLEASE stop manipulating people's minds just because you still haven't made a profit on the Xbox 360 since launch.

No. I've never bought any extra peripherals for any other system (except DDR pads that came with the games :P) and I see no need to yet for the 360.

But like spazzx625 said above, it all depends on support, and I'll get it if I absolutely have to for a game that I absolutely must play that requires it.

I think the only variable for me would be price.

If i get it I'll mess up Milo =) I'll pass him some nude photos or magazines for him to freak out XD

Maybe as long as it had a lot of support and games at launch. If it was below 60 I would probably buy it!

the casual market ruined the once great Nintendo and I only hope Microsoft does not go down the same path.....

lol already getting my living room set up for some block breaking action! No seriously i have!

I really hate the idea so no, and if the next xbox has the natal as a standard, then bye bye microsoft... rot in hell.

everytime i hear ppl taking about Natal. it reminds me of back to the future. when Marty is at the 80's club and some kids are trying to make that old arcade game work and when marti makes it work n see how its played they say "you have to use your hands? thats for babies" lol so yeah im not getting that Natal thingy. i rather have a controller then waving my hands in the air.

SIMPLY NOOO!!

Doubt it.

Unless it is $60 or less, and I will still wait a good amount of time to see if it turns into a pure shovelware gimmick.

What that stupid pet thing? I thought it was just some stupid eye toy gimmick.

The good thing is though, eye-toy was crap for the PS2.I hopeit stays that way. If not, then I'm going back to PC gaming.

no, im not buying that

I cant even find a reason to plug my wii in let alone buy another motion control, that and I dont really have much room for movement where my consoles are set up

[QUOTE="shawn7324"][QUOTE="k2theswiss"] ps3???? lol you know sony is getting something like natal to right?? dont worry about xbox turning into a next gen wii. the 360 resembles a meaning buttslaya617z

No, Sony is not getting anything like Natal. What they have is a motion controller that looks like a d1Ld0 and has a stupid light up ball at the tip. I don't want a stupid motion controller, that's why I didn't buy a wii. Sony is being completely stupid and is making Nintendo's mistakes all over again. No one wants to waggle a f***ing "wand". At least Microsoft is avoiding that!

Dumbass Sony fanboys...

Another thing, what's up with the Sony fanboy comment? Do I seem like a Sony Fanboy to you?

For me the decision to get the Natal depends on these things:

• The price - I don't want to spend much more than the price of a new game for the Natal controller
• The games - Not only does there need to be a wide selection of games that support Natal, but there needs to be a reason to use Natal instead of just a controller. Natal controls need to be in the game for a reason, not just because it is available.
• The quality and accuracy of Natal - I have the Live Vision camera, and to be honest the quality of that is very low. It struggles to pick out people from the background unless you are in a very bright room, and needs large exaggerated movements to work.

If somebody makes some new or innovative games using Natal, then I'd probably get it. It's all about the games. I'm not going to buy a piece of technology just to own it no matter how inexpensive it is.

"Hey, I own Natal for Xbox 360! Will you sleep with me now??"

What?? there are still people out there that think Natal will cost 60 bucks?Natal supportsd up to 4 players and its a new tech if it is less than 150 I would buy it!!

It doesn't matter how much it cost. If successful, Natal will make the 360 into another Wii, with most games built around a casual audience.

I'll bet you any amount of money that if Natal does become successful, we'll be seeing a a rip off of Wii fit.
