The images were provided to us via Twitter, which means that many users are freely taking images on their mobile phones without consent from Microsoft – naughty naughty.

It was always going to be hard for Microsoft to keep such a huge event under wraps though – don’t you think? As for the pictures, we get a great look at the sheer scale of the arena, and a peek at some Xbox 360 avatar-like characters on the display screens above.

The event is ongoing as we speak, and we’ll update you on any information that we hear. Enjoy the pictures and let us know your thoughts on the event.

As reported from VG247, the device rumored to be called ‘Kinect’ was spotted on the Danish arm of UK retailer GAME. The retailer has the device up on their website and have slapped a 1.299,00 DKK price tag on it, which works out at around €175/£140 – which obviously isn’t as affordable as we all thought it would be.
No mention of U.S prices yet, but it doesn’t look good for those of you planning to pick this up in the UK. I mean how many of you would be happy to pay almost £150 for this? Seems way over-priced to me.

Hopefully, we’ll have more details for you soon – give us your reaction to the new pricing.

We have the start time for the event, as well as links to where you can watch the event live. As we told you back in May, no cameras or video will be allowed at Microsoft’s special event, but it shouldn’t really matter if you can watch the whole thing live.

The event has been billed officially as the “World Premiere ‘Project Natal’ for the Xbox 360 Experience”. It will take place tonight ( Sunday 13th June) at 7PM PT at the Galen Center.

According to VG247, the event will be shown live on both GTTV and Spike TV, you’ll find links to them below. We’ll let you know all the juicy details from the event as it happens live. What are your expectations from the event?

As reported from VG247, pre-orders in the UK will begin on Sunday June 13th. When this date occurs, you will be able to pre-order the motion sensing device either in-store or online.

It is interesting to note that this is the exact date when Microsoft will be holding their special Project Natal event a day before E3 kicks off. We haven’t heard any news regarding pre-orders in the U.S, but you should expect retailers such as GameStop to follow a similar trend.

We still don’t know the price tag for the device, although it is rumored to be around $150, which translates to just over £100. We expect Microsoft to announce the price at the event, then pre-orders will be up on websites – but you should also expect a leak or two to happen prior to the event.

Will you pre-order on the 13th or not?

As reported from 1up, Microsoft’s Molly O’Donnell was on hand at the All Things Digital event to give us one final look at Project Natal before their special pre-E3 event in two weeks time.

During the demo, we were able to get a look at one of Natal’s other mini games – a game which tested user’s reflexes as they try to use bodily movements to hit a ball back and forth on the screen.

The game looked rather fun and quite responsive too. It was especially nice to see Microsoft show a different Natal game other than Ricochet.

Take a look at the video below for yourself and give us your thoughts on it.

The pictures come to us courtesy of Engadget, who were able to take a gallery of pictures of the device. The unit used is thought to be a developer sample, although Engadget are stating that this could also be a retail version.

Aside from showing us what the white model looks like, the pictures seem to suggest that the device is actually quite bulky and almost takes up the length of the Xbox 360 console when placed on top of it. Hopefully the final version that we see at E3 in a few weeks time will look a lot slicker than this unit.

Take a look at the pictures over at Engadget and let us know your thoughts on them – did you think the Project Natal unit was this big?

The news is according to this report from Nowgamer, who have obtained their info via a source ‘close to Microsoft’. The company are expected to announce the name change at their E3 press conference in June.

Has it sunk in yet? Wave on the Xbox 360 – does it have a nice ring to it or not? Personally, I prefer Natal. Don’t ask me why, but Wave just sounds too simple and crappy.

It is funny how Sony’s logo for Playstation Move looks more like a wave motion than anything else – what do you think?

Hopefully we can update you on this soon. Don’t forget, it is still a rumor at the moment.

As reported from VG247, the news is according to a new report from Edge, who also detailed the updated price and release date information that we already told you about earlier.

Do you really want a name change though? It seems to me that gamers have gotten used to Project Natal or just ‘Natal’ as the chosen name – so it will be a bit odd when we have to start calling the device by it’s new name.

If you want to find out, you’ll have to tune into the Natal Experience, which kicks off June 13 at 3.30pm EST. Let us know your thoughts on the name change. Any ideas?

According to this report from Joystiq, Project Natal will retail at $150 for the standard kit, while a $300 price point has been set for Project Natal and the Xbox 360 Arcade console bundle.

Furthermore, Joystiq’s source states that Project Natal will land on October 26rd – which just so happens to be a Tuesday for those who are interested.

It seems as if those initial ‘$50-80′ price predictions are starting to look a bit sketchy. Would you be willing to pay $150 to take Project Natal home?

We’ll try and clarify this for you soon.

As reported from VG247, Microsoft’s Aaron Greenberg has quickly played down the rumors, by saying that the details released yesterday were ‘pure speculation’.

In his full statement with PlanetXbox360, he had this to say on the pricing: “Our retail partners are not yet aware of details on pricing for “Project Natal” and pre-order placeholders are purely speculation. We will share price details with partners and the public as we get closer to launch.”

So, what do you make of that? Neither a confirmation or instant denial of the price. Remember how everyone thought it would come in at around $50? It seems like everyone might be in for a shock when pricing is finally confirmed.

Let us know your thoughts on this. Would you buy it at the above price point or not?
