Recently we did a post about a seemingly fake site offering pre-orders for Microsoft’s Natal. There we even quoted what might be the actual price tag of the same. Turns out, our estimate was right – Yes, Microsoft’s Project Natal is likely to be released on Oct 26th with $149 price tag for the stand-alone unit.

A ‘trusted source’ of a Game Industry Network, Edge-Online, reported the exclusive news and also stated that the motion sensing camera will also be bundled with the console for $299. This is certainly awesome because, right now, the XBox 360 Arcade system itself is priced around $199. Add to it the motion sensing camera (the Natal standalone unit) priced at $149, the whole bundle could have been around $350. So my point is, Microsoft did get the pricing right.

Also, the standalone unit, won’t certainly be called ‘Natal’. I am sure Microsoft would have thought of a much cooler, market-friendly name for it and should officially unveil more details at the world-premiere event on June 13th.

The first two weeks of June this year will be pretty exciting. With Apple’s WWDC on June 7 where the iPhone 4G await its grand ceremony followed by Natal’s world-premiere on June 13th, we are surely going to have a nice time.
