GAME taking Natal pre-orders soon News • News • Xbox 360 • Eurogamer.net

News Xbox 360

Same day as E3 press conference.

UK retailer GAME has revealed that Natal pre-orders will be taken from 13th June.

That date coincides with the "technology-free" Natal conference at E3.

There's no mention of a price for Natal - nor release date nor finalised name - on the GAME website. Those bits of information are presumably to come from that E3 conference.

Natal will be released this autumn. All information on the motion-sensing camera peripheral can be found below.

Whatever they officially call it, it'l still be Natal to me. If the Wave rumor is true then thats a poor choice of name.

Good for them. They've been taking preorders for Move for ages (seen the display boxes out).

Why is this news again?

Hmmm... I think I'll wait until they show us what it is they're planning on doing with Natal (and how much it costs) before I'll be all that pushed about pre-ordering it. The E3 conference should show that though.

i've lost interest in Natal since the price story

�50 sold
�100 F right off

Still my 360 is over 3 years old now so a slim 360 and natal for �200 would still get a sale from me.

@roquey

Presumably you got used to the name "Wii" though? Everyone else did. Give it a month on whatever they call it and it'll be fine.

@toothball

it's not like natal is a good name either.

Shouldn't that be "Wave pre-orders"?

If game go into liquidation and they take your pre-order, do you loose your money ?

You can pawn your games now at GAME, they sound desparate to me.

@Toothball + irve77 I didnt particularly look that much into the wii's devolpment as i have with Natal. Nentendo doesnt do anything for me anymore. And as for the Dreamcast, i never had one. Since working in this industry ive taken a more inquisitive role with the bands but the wii was already out when i started.

This does not affect me since prices will likely be much lower elsewhere.

Who cares about Natal? 3DS preorder dates are what's interesting me.

Oh. GAME!

Do you have to go to pre-natal classes to learn how to use it?

Might get Natal because it looks like it'd be a laugh when drunk. Can't see much reason outside of that, TBH.

@roquey: "Whatever they officially call it, it'l still be Natal to me. If the Wave rumor is true then thats a poor choice of name."

You still call the Wii the 'Revolution'? You call Windows Vista 'Longhorn'? You call Intel Core i7 'Lynnfield'? Interesting...
