Hey guy's, maybe instead of "you missed these games or these features"...why not just list them so he can add them easily? I mean, if it's that important and all :p

Nice thread! But answer this and I'll be very impressed:

Any changes at all to the PS eye since it was first released? Any chance it has a longer cord? I have a projector setup and actually have to use a usb extension which I'm afraid could affect performance.

A friend of mine tried a USB extension cable and it didn't detect the camera at all, so I don't think that's an option.
 
Got it all pre-ordered. Sucks that the UK have to hold on until Friday, unlike the rest of Yurope.

Tying in with America's release schedule *shakes fist*

It works, but you have to make sure the USB cable is 2.0 (I had the same problem until I got a 2.0 compliant cable).

Yeah I have one that works too. i'm just worried it might add a few milliseconds of lag here and there.
 
Nice OP. I want a Move but I don't see myself getting it at launch - the launch titles just don't interest me at all.
But, I've been known to splurge on shit I don't need so... this time next week I'll probably have one anyway. I just hope these games that truly take advantage of the thing (Sorcery, for one) are released sooner than later.

Getting this on launch day.

The PS Move is basically the tech I always wanted from my Wii, and now I have it in HD.

Really excited about Sports Champions. Table Tennis looks excellent.

Move support is also going to be pretty great in the years to come, I think. KZ3, InFamous 2, etc. all justify jumping in.

I just got my Move today and I'm in a similar situation. I had to use a USB extension cable due to the unorthodox setup with my TV and PS3. I don't think it affected performance at all. :)

Premium op shagg! For some reason it reminds me of expensive silver trim household items such as a cool all silver fridge in the kitchen :lol will def be grabbing move when it launches.

Maybe a dumb question...but you don't need a navigation controller for sports champions do you?

You don't "need" a navcon for anything if you have a SXA/DS3. There are also no launch games that require it. Some of the upcoming games will be more comfortable with one.

Does this really come out on the Friday? That doesn't really make sense. I thought Tuesday is when things release in NA.
 
I'll probably pick up a controller at launch and mess around with any demos that surface.

First real tests will be LBP2 and KZ3, though I'll probably still use the DS3 as my main controller for both.
 
Great work with the OP,shagg!!!

Also, great work TTP with the iWaggle site!!!

I am gonna get a Move, but not day one. Probably next year, when KZ3 comes out!! :D

That so? Hm maybe I'll get it sooner than I thought.

Does anything require having two controllers?
 
New tech hype is starting to get to me! I might just pick up the Move and Sports Champions (already have the Eye) and possibly a Nav controller down the road.

So I know people say that the Nav isn't 'required' for any Sports Champions games but is the DS3/Nav used in any of the games?

I'm pretty stoked on that Ping Pong game to be honest, looks like so much fun.

:D :D don't know about you guys, but I'm pretty excited to get the Move tomorrow! Basic pack with sports champions for me. I love tennis and table tennis, so the possibilities for the move with these types of games really does it for me! I hope more people buy this so that it'll get the developer support it deserves.

So far, "The Fight" requires 2 Move Controllers.

As for optional, there's the bow & arrow game in "Sports Champions" that allows you to use 2 Move Controllers but is not required. Not positive about other titles.
