Considering games are $60-$75 new.

Agreed, and agreed.

I'd like to reiterate here that, if they bring the must-have games, I will seriously consider buying them at these prices. Like always, it's a matter of if there are must-have games. (EDIT: My previous placement of like always I think was confusing.) These prices are fair for me. I just don't think they will be successful with sales to the wider market.

However, they will be successful in that it gives them a test-bed for their next-gen systems. They may even be setup in such a way that they will be transferable to the next-gen, and also bundled with the next-gen PS4 and 360-2. I see little reason why that isn't possible. That would make releasing them this late in the current generation make a lot more sense.

Wouldn't that put it at 99.99 or more?

I'm curious what must-have games for Natal will be.

The current make-up of the Xbox are the Call of Duty, Halo, Gears of War type, and while those games may feature Natal support, we also know they work well with a standard controller.

But guess shall wait until e3 to see how this all breaks down. What comes with Natal. What games they are showcasing.
