Summary: Microsoft will be throwing a Project Natal-related event at E3 in June, and it will reportedly involve a performance by Cirque du Soleil.

There seem to be rumors flying everywhere when it comes to Microsoft’s Project Natal. After it was initially announced at E3 last year, there were theories about an extremely low price tag and even a Natal/slim Xbox 360 bundle.

Now here’s something that seems outlandish but appears to have been confirmed. Microsoft will be throwing a Project Natal-related event at E3 in June, and it will reportedly involve a performance by Cirque du Soleil.

Given that Natal is an interactive gaming platform, perhaps it will involve the Cirque cast members playing one of the to-be-announced titles on the system.
