When a swedish site posted a $200 tag it is funny how fast some people namely a certain group on here was to believe it. I figured there was no way it would cost that much. Well this is from Greenburg

Microsoft's Aaron Greenburg has dismissed earlier reports of Natal's £130/$200 pricing as "purely speculation".

Microsoft's motion sensing camera picked up a £130/$200 price tag on a number of Swedish retailers earlier - a rather steep ask compared to the sub-$100 expected price.

But it seems Sweden doesn't know something the rest of us don't, with Greenburg telling Planet Xbox 360: "Our retail partners are not yet aware of details on pricing for 'Project Natal' and pre-order placeholders are purely speculation."

He added: "We will share price details with partners and the public as we get closer to launch, but are working hard to bring 'Project Natal' to consumers this holiday, and it will work with every Xbox 360."

He still didn't come out and say it would be cheaper than that, although I really don't think it'll end up costing that much.

200 is what it will cost to use move if you have more then one person that wants to play.

wiis controllers aint cheap either. so 200 is about normal price. but im sure ms will bundle it with system so it seems cheaper.

Exactly. He didn't deny it, nor counter-argue on the statement. He merely dismisses it as "purely speculation".

i'd say 150 max. there is no way they can price an accessory like that the same price as a console. sony is lucky because people have to buy a few of those suckers plus an eye toy.

Precident: the WiFi adapters and HDDs are hugely over priced, why wouldn't Natal be too?

So now people are more in love with the rumor of it costing $200 rather than the older rumor from UK which mentioned Natal would be $50 and nobody cared/talked about it??? I didn't know gamers are now have such luxury rumors???

Sadly so many MIcrosoft haters responded and they prefer to except the worst no matter what.
