"Oi, Milo, where's my bloody change!"
Wedbush Morgan analyst and video games show star, Michael Pachter, has repeated his October 2009 view that Microsoft's Natal body-control will retail for £50.
Remember, this was one of the pricing rumours that Microsoft's Senior Regional Director, Northern Europe, Entertainment & Devices Division, Neil Thompson stated, "No. They weren't accurate, they were rumours. I've got nothing more to say about it."
This time around, Mr Pachter has stated in the latest edition of the sober analytically namedGT show Pach-Attack, "My guess is, talking to my hardware specialist colleagues at Wedbush, it will cost about $50.
"I'd be very surprised if it is more then $79 and I think it's going to be $50. Microsoft's not trying to make money on the device they're trying to get everybody to have the device so that they can sell us other things and eventually sell us a lot more Xbox 360s.
"My call is $50. I think that's where it's going to be launched", so picked up MCV.
Pachter has also priced the Sony motion controller at $150.

i think i would rather of paid £70-80 for a hardware based device rather than the software way there going, unless that software is a perfect emulation of what the hardware can acheive.

Doubtful, the control mechanism in Natal will not be suitable for 'proper' gaming, ie we'll just end up seeing all the cash-in wii game styles again.
