I'm not sure about that. I noticed a bit of latency in a few places, but not everywhere. As I recall, the live demo at E3 in which the girl was batting at balls with her hands and feet looked very responsive, but the painting program was less so. This leads me to think that the observed latency isn't in the hardware, but in specific games, which makes it potentially fixable. Where I did see latency, it didn't appear to be any worse than Wii--most people's early Wii tennis games are just godawful because of it. We also need to bear in mind that, while what was demoed appeared to be something beyond a prototype, MS hasn't announced a ship date. The development kit for Natal was just released, concurrent with E3. There's still a good bit of time for issues to be addressed. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
