[citation][nom]seriousazn[/nom]As I can't even afford an xbox 360, how the hell will natal be working...nice ideas, but dreaming a bit big. Maybe some rich people will enjoy doubt it'll be cost effective anytime soon.[/citation]
... You can't afford a 360 thus Natal will fail? ... Good logic.
Anyway, I don't get where most people are coming from here in the comments. Microsoft says the 360 will become an entertainment center, gaming console, and the Internet all in one. Why is that so strange? It's what the PS3 already is trying to do. How exactly that translates into "cook our food, clean our house, bathe us, etc..." is beyond me. I understand that's hyperbole, but still, simply Microsoft is trying up the competition with the PS3 for control of the living room.
As for comments on Blu-Ray... While I'm sure there are many who use it, I don't personally know a single person who does, and I work in retail at an electronics store, and we sell probably 1 BRD to 50 DVDs. So I'm pretty sure to most people it's not that important yet.
It's not even out yet, so you're bashing what you think you know of a concept, never mind the actual product. I'm sure MSFT has some cards up its sleeve.
