Rumour – Natal to be formally called “Wave”

[luke_c]

Microsoft is to officially announce “Wave” as the formal name of Project Natal at E3 in two-and-a-half weeks time, according to NowGamer.

A source close to the firm apparently told the site the announcement will be made at the motion tech’s special pre-E3 event on Sunday, June 13.

It comes as rumours emerged last night that the camera would cost $149 at release, which would be on October 26: the date would fall in line with the timeline given by an MS Saudi Arabia rep earlier this month.

A bundle with both the camera and an Xbox 360 Arcade is also set to drop on that date for $299.

Not much else was given in the NowGamer piece other than just the name.

For that price it should come bundled with an xbox...

The "wave" sounds like a cool name to me.

 

[Hadrian]

Also sounds like a vibrator you can by from Ann Summers.

 

[Blue-K]

Why this name? Because of the BanWave when it's released, or what

?

Wonderful. "Move" and "Wave" really just suggests that their controllers were just afterthoughts to cash in on the Wii. They didn't even try to think of any other names...

That sounds crap, they should have just kept it as Natal.

 

[Depravo]

They should just call it "C*nt" because that's what you're going to look like while using one.

Wave is what the "Move" should have been called.

Well then, I ask of Microsoft, what's going to happen to Google Wave? Is it going to be called Google Natal?

Nothing to see here folks, move along

 

[ProtoKun7]

Well then, I ask of Sony, what's going to happen to Google Wave? Is it going to be called Google Natal?

You mean Microsoft?

And I had the same thought, when I think of Wave I think of Google Wave (although I never use it).

 

[BlackDave]

They should have called it Sin

It's a calamity

But I don't wanna pay such a high price...
