Late last year, Xbox-360.INFO wrote a post containing information on Project Natal, the future of gaming. At the time, Project Natal was a device not much was known about it, but now, that has changed. Microsoft has recently announced an approximate price and release date.

Eurogamer has reported, with information quoted from MCV, which states that Project Natal should be released around November 2010. They also reported that Microsoft plans on manufacturing 5 million units that will be up for sale on the launch date. Hopefully this will prevent the device from immediately selling out of most stores.

While the release date is nice to know, something even more interesting is the estimated cost. With a device like Project Natal, something never released to the public before, you would figure that the price would be extremely high, but Microsoft has chosen to take another path. The device is estimated to cost $50-$80, much cheaper then many accessories and around the cost of a normal game. This should give Project Natal an impulse buy concept, where everyone can get one.

So, what do you think? Release date too late? I personally think it is great if they can get the bugs worked out. The price? I think its great, I personally expected it to be twice as expensive as it will be, and I will be there on Project Natal Release date to buy it.

According to British magazine, MCV, Microsofts prodigy project, Project Natal, is set to release at a price as low as $50. MCV states that Microsoft would release an initial 5 million units to the public in 2010. The low price has been said to be one of Microsoft’s marketing tactics to make Project Natal an impulse buy for shoppers.

While much isn’t known now about Project Natal, more information is predicted to be released at the Consumer Electronics Show in January.
