The Playstation Move is so overpriced is led to me making an angry forum post! While the pricing in America that was announced is slightly sketchy - $30 for the navigation controller seems a bit much - It is even worse for us in the UK!
The Move controller itself is priced at £40 which isn't too bad. We always end up paying more than the American conversion. But what angers me is that the navigation controller is £30! I could probably end up getting the controller imported myself for the same price. I don't see how we here in the UK still put up with this and if anyone knows some reason for why this happens please let me know.
Argh!

SWEEEET! I just read on IGN that you don't need to buy the Navigational Controller since you can use the PS3 controller instead .
wait, when did it become 130 per person?
The first initial purchase is 130 cause you get the bundle with the camera, controller, game, than you need the Nav. But after that it's 80 per extra controller, which is just the same when you get the motion plus, wii remote and nunchuck.
" SWEEEET! I just read on IGN that you don't need to buy the Navigational Controller since you can use the PS3 controller instead . "Thats gonna be a big selling point. Course it might be a little akward.
And i've just tried holding a dualshock in my left hand and it doesn't feel natural at all. I''l probably end up buy it for £30 anyway. It just makes me angry.
That's some welcome relief. I just tried testing with my Dualshock 3, and it looks like it's not uncomfortable to hold it with one hand. It's looking to be a much more attractive purchase now."

They probably should have made this clearer during the press conference...
It is sorta overpriced, but the worst part is it sorta sets up the Kinect stuff to really kill the Move stuff if Microsoft decides to put it out under $100. Evens so, I have a feeling that Microsoft will put it out at $150 and come this holiday, both will kinda bust in terms of sales. I like the Kinect stuff because of the technology, and the Move stuff seems just like a better version of the Wii, but I'm not quite sure who exactly is going to buy it. First, if I already have Wii and dont really play many other games, why am I going to want to pay a couple hundred dollars for basically the same types of games. Second, if I have a Wii and other consoles, I dont really need these new things because I probably already had my fill of this stuff on the Wii. Third and Finally, if I only have and Xbox PS3 or both, I'm obviously not that interested in this motion stuff anyway, so if I never bought the Wii that whole time, why am I gonna buy this now?
I still think these things wont completely bomb, because a lot of little kids are going to want the next big thing, but I just dont see them selling as well as Microsoft and Sony think they will.
Then I guess your not getting the $150 kinect. Me personally, I hate motion control and the direction its taking gaming and curse it all!
wii mote is 40 dollars
move is 50
nunchuck is 20
navigation is 30
yea, its a bit overpriced. there should be a bundle that gives you everything you need for move and a game for $100.
that would be better
It is slightly overpriced, but moreover it is complicated. Gotta sell to the gift givers as much as the gamers buying for themselves.
Like ToadRunner said, $100 bundle with everything needed would be nice.
