[DragonLogos]

Forget Durbs... this is Natal with a capital M for Microsoft (and maybe they call it Nah Tell) but Hotdog!!! (did someone say Frys) this looks like a fun new thing to play with... now what would be really nice is if they could come up with a district 9 game

Full Story on BBC

Microsoft has allowed the public to get their hands on its new hands-free games controller for the first time.

The US firm showed off the "Natal" technology, designed for use with its Xbox 360 console, at the European games convention gamescom in Germany. The controller uses a microphone combined with visual and infrared cameras to control the onscreen action

Sounds like fun

At the heart of the Natal system is an infrared sensor that detects a person, their movements and their distance from the sensor. The device calibrates itself to the room's temperature and then looks for warm bodies around the room

Now that really does sound cool, always thought there was some better to be had in the world of controllers after watching Johnny Mnemonic
