Playstation Move Launches September At $50-$100

After a full segment of PlayStation Move demos at their E3 Press Conference--including the newly announced action-adventure game Sorcery and a demo of Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11--Sony announced that their new controller would be out this Fall in the United States, Europe, and Japan. The Move controller will launch in Europe on September 14th and arrive in the States on September 19th. The Japanese launch of Move will be a month later than the other two territory's launches, on October 21st. All three launch dates are well ahead of the announced November 4th release date for Microsoft's motion controller Kinect. 
 

I'll get the sports bundle, wish it came with the controller that has the analog stick.

I loved how at first, when they announced $50 everyone was stoked, then they showed the 2nd additional part, and people quieted down fast.

They don't give you the Nunchuk with every Wiimote either do they?

Can't you just have a package that comes with everything? Why can't you do that? Not hard, guys.

expensive annyone ?

Not gonna bother with it. If it was $50 for the whole thing maybe, but until it goes down in price Sony can forget it about it.

Hope they bundle it with better games like socom or that sorcery game.

So if you need the camera, controller and nunchuck, it will cost $130?
 
All of a sudden the Kinect rumoured price-tag of $150 doesn't sound so crazy.

Even if you do pay $100 plus the $30 for the navigation controller, as of right now it's still cheaper than the unconfirmed price of Kinect (which is $150 according to gamestop).

I'm tempted to buying a PS3 for Move & Sorcery. That shit looked like fun.

Why did they separate it?  Give it to me for all for $100 you bums!  Otherwise no buy. 

" expensive annyone ? "

It's about the same as buying extra Wii stuff. A remote, and nunchuck. Which is what I figured it would be.

Thats not too bad price wise, still probably wont get Move around the time of launch if at all.

I love how everyone clapped when they announced the price of the move... than was dead silent when they announced the price for the sub controller lol

So if you want to play with your friend, you have to spend at least 100 bucks? Four friends, 200 bucks? Ouch.

it too expensive. If Sony want this to have any serious impact this generation, they have to take a serious hit on this. Add ons historically do not have a great impact in the lifetime of a console.

kinda expensive if you ask me

ya thats mess up they dont throw in the second controller with the bundel

I'm still undecided, i'll have to wait for the launch games to get reviewed before i hand over my cash.

That's right, Jeff, you're a business, mann!

I already have a PSeye so I'm only getting the one bulb for Deadspace Extraction. But this is definitely more competitive towards everyone if the Move-specific games are undercutting both the Wii and Kinect by 10 and 20 bucks respectively.

I would probably just buy a Wii for $160 if i was interested in motion controls

compared to what kinect will go for, this shit be cheap. "

Still zero interest for any of this moving around business.

So if I just throw stuff at my tv screen will the ps3 handle that?

I'm kinda confused at what controllers you will need to play some of the games. 1 wand, 2 wands, a wand and a nunchuck? 
 
Not going to buy it for this price anyway though.

I saw a bunch of people on Twitter claiming the price of this was officially the death of Kinect. While I think the rumored price of $150 for Kinect is too much, it's not bad when you break this down. $100 for the camera and controller. $130 for  the camera + remote + nav controller. $210 for camera + 2 remotes + 2 nav controllers. The question right now is how important that nav controller is for playing a lot of these games.
 
Also, a lot of people like playing more casual Wii titles in groups. Most people I know barely get their Wii out unless company is coming over. I'm sure a lot of games are turn based and controller passing will work fine, but the price barrier for two player games that don't seems really high.

People will get two jobs to afford the Playstation Move.

no thx for me.  Only game thus far that has looked interesting with the controller, imo, is the Sorcerer game.  Everything looks like minigames that they just made to show how the product works but will only be fun for like 5 minutes.  Oh, I guess there is Tiger Woods but I don't really play golf games.

" People will get two jobs to afford the Playstation Move. "

Listen, obviously it's all about buttons.  Buttons, come on, does Kinnect have buttons...... NO.  BUTTONS!!! 
 
buttons

Seems like pretty standard operating procedure, given how Nintendo handled controller pricing.

I would love to try out Sorcery.  However, since it looks like the easiest way to buy the parts would be the $100 sports bundle plus the separate $30 nunchuck it looks like I'll pass.  Even the "cheapest" way $100 ($50 Move +$30 nunchuck + PRAY to find a $20 used Eye) seems like too much to play the one game that looks fairly interesting.  Looks like I'll wait a couple years.  If Move is a failure, the controllers will be cheap then.  If Move is a success, there should be other games by that time to possibly justify the cost.

"

i don't see what the hubbub about the price is? seems like an ok deal to me. 
 
the eye alone is like $30-40 still. a dualshock 3 is still $45-55. $30 + $50 = $80 + lol $20 pack in game = $100. if the subcontroller is optional and an extra $30 that's still not too bad at all. and as much as i hate to even bring it up, TOTAL it's still less than the rumored price of $150 for kinect.

I am interested in this, but will likely wait until my Sony credit card is offering Move controllers as something to spend reward points on. I am saving my pennies for RB3 and Nintendo games methinks.

You aren't thinking it through really, Kinect will be 150 for everyone to play around with, Move is 50-100 for just you. "

Want the "capability" of using the product? 30 bucks. Wanna aim? 50 bucks. Wanna move? 30 more bucks. Want a game to play? 60 bucks. 
 
$170

Didn't they say awhile ago, that you could use the dual shock 3 as a sub controller?

Eh, not excited about this. There will have to be quite a few "Move-exclusive" titles for me to want to drop any money on this add-on.

SOCOM and KZ3 looks like mini game? "

Why am I not surprised that Sony is over charging us for something... again. 

There needs to be a Move+Navigation+Eyetoy bundle for $100, then I would consider it.
 
The Sorcery demo, while not my game, showed how accurate it was. When he did an underarm spell his character did the same. Like Kinect it has great potential, just needs some games to realize it.
 
If Killzone3 uses it for aiming then yes, i'll pick it up for sure.

it was a dick move to not bundle the controller with the move.  at $50....i was interested...then the other shoe dropped.  a real shame.  of course....what about those games where they were showing off the two move controllers?  how does it recognize me holding the bow...when all i have is the one move controller?  maybe i missed something about how it all works, but i'm pretty sure if you want to do that...two move controllers.   
 
i have a pseye....useless other than eye of judgement, imo.  however that dead space 2 bundle is nice...and that sorcery thing did look cool enough.  have to see what the GB crew says.

Selling the controllers separately is stupid stupid stupid. Copying Nintendo wasn't enough, they had to copy their bullshit packaging practices too?
