    Let me explain that last figure in the voice of John Madden:

    Ok, so you start with your No. 25 rectangle guy *circles* and hand the code off to the can-lookin' No.26 *arrow to 'X'*

    Now over here *draws circle* ya got No.22 wide open, but instead 26 runs the route through this group here. *arrow* That's when you get a couple servers involved and the defensive line steps in-- it really becomes a mess all right in here *scribbles* as you can tell by the cloud.

    But all in all, I think it was a smart play, I mean it's all about the game, and as you can see, that's just what's happening here.

    In other news, Sony shoots themselves in the foot by requiring the tomatoes to be Sony brand ProMatoDuos (TM), thus rendering useless all the standard tomatoes that everyone already has. #sonyinteractivetvpatentps3

    Meh. Natal has already touted this. And has the ability to do it much better than the crappy hardware of the PS Eye

    @BubbleF**kingBuddy: Well, to be honest, no it couldn't! And still can't. -_-.

    The Playstation Eye has been out since just a bit after the PS2 came out. So it's been quite a while. The PlayStation Eye is ONLY A LOW RESOLUTION CAMERA!

    While Natal is a combination of: A monochrome infrared sensor able to track the depth of each pixel, thus able to track your movements in 3D space. A long a high resolution digital camera beside it for importing you and stuff you want into the game. And also face recognition and all that jazz.

    The PS Eye is very primitive compared to Natal.

    Zillion year old technology, the software for pricier Logitech webcameras could also insert such avatars (plus various live effects) to your video stream, and that was 2-3 years ago...

    @Ian Grams: I think six axsis is better than wii motion.

    My Reasoning:
    It's built into a standard controller, not in its own motion device. It says to developers "remember, people really like their buttons so we're not going to let you forget that, but if you feel a motion gesture would help game play, you can utilize that as well.

    My Evidence:
    Ragdoll Kung-Fu
