Though the Last.fm thing sounds awesome.
Edit: Oh Lawd, they've opened the floodgates. Time to flee.
I'd not really call Natal minor hardware mumbo jumbo. Imagine:
You wake up Saturday morning and walk into your living room where your Xbox Elite sits, still on from the night before. A message pops up on screen.
"Good morning, Klutz. Would you like to continue your game of Gears of War 2? Your friend, Caolinn is online." It recognizes your face when you sit on the sofa and remembers what you played last, as well as the person you were playing with.
"No. I want to play Fable 2," you say aloud to the system, which will recognize your voice.
"Loading," pops up on the screen, because you've already loaded it onto the hard drive. Game starts and you begin swinging a sword.
When you're tired from playing Fable, you say, "End game. I want to watch Netflix." You've hooked your Netflix account up to your Xbox, so it navigates to the Netflix instant queue and starts playing your top movie. Anytime you need a snack break, just say "pause".
Now
that is freakin awesome. I do not know if the system as planned can do all that but all the parts are there, so I won't be surprised. And for those who find the notion of jumping around tiring, you can still use a controller to play, but all the voice commands will still be there.
