I keep thinking of the Nintendo Power Glove when looking at Natal in that it might be a good idea, but the technology is not going to let them do what they want it to.
That's exactly what my 24ish year old nephew said when I was talking to him about it yesterday. "I pickup a controller to play video games because I'm a lazy and want to sit on the couch - if I wanted to actually sweat I'd play the real sport." Certainly a valid point, and I do agree it will be a novelty thing. Be interesting to see where Natal comes in price wise. 360 arcade is on-sale right now for, I think, $119. If this accessory is going to come in at $300 or something outrageous, I'm not sure it will be worth it.
