So this is what is on the Xbox 360 horizon...I guess I'll get mine fixed and keep it then.

That's just the new Natal. It's an add-on to the Xbox 360, if I'm not mistaken. That promo you linked to has actually been around for quite a while.

I won't hold me breath on it working that well. It looked like the participants were miming instead of interacting...if it was full motion control like implied, the kid acting like Godzilla limbs would not work as was shown, it was backwards.

I call fake.

I wonder how the blue screen of death interacts?

Remember when PS2 tried this? That thing sucked.

If xbox does do a good job it will be cool for a few games like skating or fighting but absolutely useless for anything fun like RPGs or FPSs...which is what their whole demographic plays, since they are "the HALO console".

I could care less about some of these features, like with the wii a lot of it is gimmick...Wii games keep working motion components into games that shouldn't have them *cough* mario brothers *cough*

I've already got a Wii, no need for moving around like a jack*** for a serious gaming system.

But Natal has been around a while... I think they showed it on Jimmy Fallon's show back in November or something.
