According to "trusted" sources speaking to Edge-Online, Microsoft's upcoming Project Natal motion control camera system will launch with a price tag of $150, much higher than expected by most in the industry.
The system will also launch on October 26th, says the site, in line with expectations of an October release.
Additionally, Microsoft will bundle the camera with an Xbox 360 Arcade console for $300 USD.
European and UK rates would be based "on a number of factors," including the current exchange rate at the time of release, so those prices remain unclear for the time being.
Rival Sony is releasing its PlayStation Move motion control system later this year, bundled with a game, for $100 USD.
Perhaps more notably, Natal (which will be given its official name in June at the E3 event) will cost just $30 less than the Nintendo Wii, which has motion control out of the box and a huge catalog of games.
