If this is true, I'll be picking it up ASAP.
Heck, I think I'd probably pre-order it if it's true.
And here I was expecting something along the lines of £120 to £150...
It's also pretty comforting to know that there will be stuff to do on it, unlike EyeToy, which had around 8 games scattered over 4 or so years.
I wonder what the games could possibly be.
Ever since Day 1 I've said that Natal is a rubbish gimmick. It's just another way to get non-gamers interested in the platform. I feel pretty stupid standing around with a plastic guitar controller without standing around frantically waving my arms at nothing. I think that the leading companies (I'm looking at you, Nintendo) need to spend less time coming up with new ways to play games with new peripherals (eg. Tony Hawk's Ride), and stick to the standard controller.

I disagree.
As long as games remain fun i don't care how i play them.
I love the Wii as much as my 360 and ps3.

You know, I'm pretty sure people said that when we moved from 1 button to a controller that had 2 buttons and a D-pad.
And so on, and so forth.

it seems strange that it says about the devs in the UK may have leaked the info but the price is in dollars...
Im probably gonna buy it either way, even if the games suck the way you interact with the console is going to be very cool if it works properly. I'd love to go through my friendlist and achievements etc without having to do anything other than walk into my room and wave my hand in the air

Kotaku is American based, so they just converted the price for their major audience.
