I actually thought that was pretty cool. I happened to tune into the E3 programming thing right before this came on, and I must say that I'm pretty impressed. However, that was a cheap shot to the Wii when he said something about "pre-set waggling". :D

Microsoft couldn't content themselves with ripping off Sony, so they attacked Nintendo for ideas too...

Y'know what? Here's why 2012/13 will be the end of it all, the Big Three will merge...it'll be the birth of the Wiixony-600...see? It even sounds like something Chthulu would say.

Bitching aside, it reminds me of Sony's EyeToy, though I do see the differences...I just wonder if they'll apply this technology to fighting games....ohhh, the lawsuits.

As far as lawsuits go, you can never be sure. All in all though, it does seem like the EyeToy. Then again, there could be something fresh about it, but we wont really know that until it comes out.

Has anyone seen the Peter Molyneux and his project Milo that uses Natal?

That's some serious uncanny valley right there, but the technology is actually pretty cool.

I actually saw that during the live feed of Microsoft's press conference for E3. I must say, I'm somewhat impressed by it. The only thing that worries me about it is price point. I only worry about that because it was said that due to Project Natal, Microsoft is now going to make the 360 last all the way up till 2015.

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad people out there like 360's enough to buy them and they do have some really good games on the platform, but trying to make the 360 a "ten year console" just from adding Project Natal seems a bit like putting all of their eggs in one basket.

But, who knows? We could all be pleasantly surprised.

Normally, I wouldn't post much information on a system that I don't own or plan to own...I saw this and I thought that some others around here could appreciate the humor.

Here is what Colbert thinks about Microsoft's new Project Natal. How do you feel about this? I, for one, find it absolutely hilarious.:D

Discuss!
