Project Natal became Microsoft Kinect

After several leaks, Microsoft has finally revealed the official name of Project Natal, “Microsoft Kinect”. For those who don’t know Kinect “introduces controller-free gaming with which you take full control of the games by simply moving around,jumping, punching and kicking or whatever you feel like doing”, it will also support video chat.

Kinect was officially unveiled at the Electronic Entertainment Expo 2010, known as E3 2010, which is an annual trade show for the computer and video games industry. The myspace Xbox page lists November as a possible release date.

Rumors are now circulating through the web that a Slim Xbox 360 will be unveiled soon since an ad for a 360 Xbox slim model appeared at an Italian website. It is expected that Kinect would be priced at around $ 150.
