Still not the same, Rev, for several reasons: First, the EA Sports thingie will (I assume) only work for EA games. Natal is generic Xbox, so any game vendor can support it. Second, as you mentioned, the EA sensors have to be strapped to your legs and, in the video, they're waving their wiimotes around too. The Natal system won't need any of that. There's nothing to attach or wave (or accidentally throw into the 62" flatscreen); as soon as you walk into its view, you're live. Third, Natal senses movement of torso, head, and all four limbs separately; I don't see how three sensors could do that (nor can they provide facial recognition). And fourth, I didn't watch the EA video all the way through, but I didn't see anything about voice recognition. If you watch the Natal videos, you'll note that people are talking to their games. The painting guy changes his paint color, for example, by saying "light blue". I don't see much of a comparison, really. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
