Project Natal Pricing and Release Date Revealed

tekgoblin writes "According to Edge-online.com, their source says that we can expect Microsoft's Project Natal to cost around $149. 'The figure for the standalone unit is significantly higher than a previous sub-£50 estimate, but less than pricing recently suggested by European retailers. It’s also more expensive than Sony’s Natal rival, Move, which will be available later this year with a game for less than $100.'"

Sony only broke the 5-year rule by one year (PS2 2000, PS3 2006), the PS3 can't support modern 3-D (what they showed was a half-assed, proprietary, pseudo-3D mash-up--the PS3 doesn't and can't meet the real spec without new hardware), no modern MMORPG has yet been released for any console (the PS3 and 360 have both had MMORPG's "coming soon" for a long time now and neither has ever actually delivered), true 1080p is still very rare on both consoles (mainly because it's almost impossible to pull off on such old hardware), and it doesn't really matter which controller is better because both are trading on the Wii motion controller fad that has long since lost its luster. I don't care if you're a Sony fanboy (as you appear to be), or a MS fanboy, or a Wii fanboy for that matter. Consoles are dropping the ball here, and it threatens to push them squarely back into the "toy" category and push hardcore gamers back to their PC's for the "real" experience.
