Big Italian Natal-leak?

Is this the real deal? Pictures!
Petter Mårtensson 21 April 2010

Italian gaming site Multiplayer.it claims that they've managed to get their hands on pictures of Microsoft's upcoming motion sensor Natal. The photos are supposed to come from an anonymous beta tester, and comes with tidbits of interesting information - that the beta version needs to be plugged into an external power source and that camera has a built-in motor that tilts it.

The mysterious beta tester says that his job is to read certain voice commands to the camera, which then will be used to make the voice recognition software better. Amongst the 600 commands he's supposed to read aloud to the camera we find "light up Xbox 360" and "go on Facebook." That last command is of course vital for Natal to find its place in modern society.

Take a look at the pictures yourself and make up your own minds if this is the real deal or just a very elaborate hoax.
