It generally helps a lot on the internet, especially when it comes to media since so many trailers/events are scheduled around US time. Just this week alone on GAF it's helped me countless times.
AwesomeFeep said:All right, GAF, I don't actively use Twitter, but you can follow @Feep. I'll try and update as much as I can.

Appows HazeZombie James said:What theme are you using?
Right. So, do you seriously think that MS is willing to risk hundreds of millions of dollars that they and their third party partners have collectively taken on with the time and resources for Project Natal and make their success impossible by pricing themselves completely out of the market during a recession and slowdown in sales of video games? I don't believe it for a moment. Not when they're trying to get people who don't own X360 systems to jump in on this, too. If it really was going to $200, that would make the low point on the barrier to entry of cost, right now, $400+ for that group. That's way too high. If they're just trying to appeal to existing X360 owners, the barrier is still too high at $200. No, they're not going to launch this thing at any more than $99 US...and even I think that's too high for the sort of success they need to have right out of the gate. Remember that they've got a limited window of a three to four years to really get their mileage out of this device and platform before the next real console generation comes. I think it will be closer to $60, but still under $100 and that includes a compilation disc with demos/games. Any more than that and it may be curtains before it even begins. I haven't even factored in the cost of an extra, dedicated third or first party Natal game to go with the device...no third party wants in on this if they can't have shot at selling a copy of their Natal title to people.subversus said:I don't care really but I would be glad to buy it for 100$ or less. But for 200$?!?!
Maybe that's because it goes: 1st shop -> Internet -> other shops?subversus said:It's the second time this price (about 200$) comes up

B-Rad Lascelle said:There will be numerous debates over Natal/Wave pricing that will inevitably lead nowhere and be pointless until we see how the market responds to it later this fall.
The big defense argument people will serve up is that Natal/Wave is all you need and you don't need additional WiiMote/MoveWand, Nunchuk, MotionPlus, EyeToy peripherals to enjoy it.
Little charts will be drawn up showing how Natal/Wave is a bargain considering that for 4 people to enjoy base motion control on a competing product they will pay an equivalent price or more and still not benefit from the additional functionality of facial/voice recognition and depth perception.
The above is understood. Will we see roughly 1,000 posts on GAF over the next 72 hours discussing the price despite the above? Sure. It was virtually guaranteed so long as Natal is released at anything above $50.
geoffkeighley @majornelson I thought it was a technology free event? Let's see who can Tweet faster
It's on Tuesday.Dante369 said:The event is being shown on MTV, right? I don't see anything on the guide. I was going to record it.
Wu-Gambino said:Their not going to be revealing any games today are they?
Maybe games descriptions, titles, publishers/developers and maybe even price and date for the hardware launch. No press footage or pics, though. Maybe official marketing materials, though? Limiting this today seems silly if they're going to go ahead and make most if not all the big reveals tomorrow morning at the press conference, though...Wu-Gambino said:Their not going to be revealing any games today are they?

Wouldn't that qualify as official marketing material, though? I mean, he is their official mouthpiece.V_Ben said:

Shiggy said:Could someone do a quick "Wave" logo with this font?
InaudibleWhispa said:Hmm, not a massive fan of Kinect but I don't hate it. It's acceptable
Mastperf said:What's the easiest way to theme XP Professional SP3?
That'll be an issue with only Sony trolls for a couple of days. That really isn't something to stop them going with the brand.DangerousDave said:The problem of this name is that there were a line of first party EyeToy products named Kinetic.
And the last that Microsoft wants is EyeToy comparations and references.
Hmmm...most people don't even know what an EyeToy is. Sure it wouldn't be a problem if it was the name.DangerousDave said:The problem of this name is that there were a line of first party EyeToy products named Kinetic.

Have fun!Feep said:All right, GAF, I'm off to go eat a quick early dinner and head over to the Galen Center. Remember, I won't be directly posting on GAF (too slow, eats battery), so I'll be updating my Twitter account @Feep. Tune in to see all the wacky hijinks!

smoove jazz? NO.
a little birdie told ME that natal will be renamed something 6 letters long and its not a normal word. Think "dreamcast" or "zune" hmmm. although i dont even believe that one, we'll see.
Have fun! And don't forget to update us on Rare's Natal game(s)!Feep said:All right, GAF, I'm off to go eat a quick early dinner and head over to the Galen Center.
