Re: [CGUYS] jimmy fallon and natal
Looks like PR BS to me. Why am I not surprised? The red jumpsuits were obviously a Fallon gimmick. Nobody at E3 had to wear them. As for the coverage area, duh. If it covered the whole room, non-players would have to sit frozen like Lincoln's statue, wouldn't they? Hey! I'm playing here! Stop breathing, you're messin' me up! Did it work, or didn't it, Tom? Were you wrong about the prerecorded video, or not? * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *

Re: [CGUYS] jimmy fallon and natal
WFBs change the subject 20 times attempting to obscure the facts and hoping that we will even forget the question. This demo is being presented as it it were a product in competition with products that are in stores now. That's fakery. That's spreading FUD. That's M$.

On that we, mostly agree, but M$ is not the only offender. many other companies have offended over the years.

Re: [CGUYS] jimmy fallon and natal
Maybe you think it's presented as such but I don't know anyone else who does. If they all thought it was already in stores I don't think you'd hear people ask 'when is it COMING out'. They'd be asking where they could buy it now. Maybe you are just faked out too easily, three card monty guys always take your money? There is no FUD anywhere around the demo, no idea where you got that from..not sure how you can spread fear when talking about a technology a company is developing.
