The PlayStation Eye camera will also be sold separately for €29.99 (RRP).

On the software front, SCE Worldwide Studios will release more than 20 titles that are either dedicated to or supported with the PlayStation Move platform in fiscal year 2010 ending March 2011.

Furthermore, SCE also announced today the release of two PlayStation Move controller peripherals, “PlayStation Move®Charging Station” and “PlayStation®Move shooting attachment,” that will help further enhancing the PlayStation Move experience.

The “shooting attachment,” designed to place the PlayStation Move motion controller horizontally, will allow players to hold the motion controller as if they are holding a gun and to easily aim at an in-game target. The trigger on the attachment is interlocked with the motion controller T button and will enable users to intuitively play the game, not only limited to shooting games but also on games that may require precise button input and control. It will deliver immersive gameplay and will work perfectly with software titles like The Shoot!*3 by SCE and Time Crises: Razing Storm by Bandai Namco Games Inc. which is expected to support the attachment.

I just have to wonder who Sony thinks is going pay $110+ for this thing (I would imagine most people don't have the PSEye and the navi-controller would be a necessity)? It sure as hell won't be me...

Have a fun! Enjoy!

You dont need the navi. DS3 will do.

I'm sure you don't "need" it, but it would certainly help for FPS type games. If I'm not mistaken the guy playing Socom 4 was using it.

Anyone that buys Tiger Woods, no navi-controller needed.
 
I already have the camera so I would just need the controller. Will be keeping my eye on more impressions this week and hopefully they're good.

$130 to get going, plus $300 for the system.

$430 vs $200 for a Wii.

How is this thing going to be anything other than a complete failure?
Or $180 ($150 if you're cheaping out on the navigator) for the most optimal single player experience since some games perform best with two Moves. Ouch. :(

more money than God
Even the $400 bundle doesn't include the navigation controller?????? WTF??????

But yeah, like people have been saying, $430 vs. $200 Wii is pretty ridiculous.

I have a PSEye and I only want to play lightgun (or is it glow ball) games with any kind of motion control.

Give me awesome on-rail shooters and I´ll get the basic controller.

Move will probably turn into quite the money-spinner for Sony from the software side of matters, but I doubt it will do anything to increase hardware sales or steal some of the Wii's thunder.

The gun-shaped peripheral is nice, though.

Does the wii come with two wands and two nun-chucks now, because mine didn't? Plus I'm sure plenty of games will have the option to just use the wand. Still not sure if I'm coppin but that sorcery game has me contemplating a purchase we will see how it turns out.
 
Unfortunate pricing. Not sure what they're thinking, really. MS should take care not to similarly hobble their entry despite it only needing the one purchase.

Higher than I had hoped, but not too bad. A Move + Nunchuck is the same price as the Wiimote+Nunchuck+Motion plus. Only downside is that you need to buy a PSEye

When you compare to the rumored Kinect prices, it isnt THAT bad.

But still lolworthy.

what about TV? You obviously need Panny VT20, which is what, 3-4k? While for Wii any old CRT will suffice.

So 4.5k For Move, $300 for Wii.


p.s. Pricing is fine, $50 entry for me, i am getting it.... a lot of people got PSEyes for free with various games, and they went for as low as <$20 before.

$400 for the ps3 bundle nets you:

an hd system
a camera
a ds3
wand
an hd game

that's a lot of good stuff.

i'll be getting the $99 and sub in the ds3 for the nunchuck though and we'll see if that works well enough

I was expecting more aggressive pricing than that. $200 more than a Wii just to get started is a hiding to nothing.

Trying to appeal to the casuals but pricing it out of their reach may be Sony's dumbest move of the generation yet. And Microsoft appear to be doing the same damn thing.

I'm glad that PS Eye I bought ages ago will get some use. Buying move mainly for Killzone 3, but seems there's some other appealing stuff aswell.
