Project Natal

i don't see why i'd rather play a racing game with my body instead of a controller or wheel.

I guess it depends on whether it's fun or not, right?

no it's about the PRINCIPLE.

It does look kinda fun. They need to simplify the breakout game though - in the demo it just looks crazy, but playing a slower version of that, where you could actually be a little more precise would probably be lots of fun. They may have been joking in the clip, but imagine a boxing game with this tech with an online versus mode. Controller free PunchOut! Or a wiifit style exercise program without stupid peripherals. I probably would drop $200 on that :(

The thing with this, and especially the racing wheel mentioned, is that it's taking away the feedback. Which vibrating pads have been striving to recreate for years.

so i guess it's fun v realism again.

^Good point. One thing I liked with the Wiimote immediately was how the rumble and the little speaker on it gave you various cues.

Isn't it kind of weird that everyone in the Fallon video was wearing those single color red jumpsuits? Early technical issues, I'm guessing...

ok, this is the first time i've seen that "ever wonder what the bottom of an avatar's shoe looks like?" video and it's killing me.
