Slightly smaller games though (PSN games that can be completely revamped), but yeah, they may be full of shit, we´ll never know.Carl said:

Just came back from my local Media Markt and through some trickery managed to get the EU 320GB Move bundle + Sports Champions for 369. Not a bad deal at all. 
just watched the EA conference on IGN, it was extraction they were talking about, not DS2No45 said:Dead Space 2 (And Extraction, but we knew that already) confirmed for Move apparently.
They need to implement move controls into DS2, imagine twisting the move controller to get a vertical cut, you could slice and dice the necromorphs effortlessly!

Was it developed with the Move in mind from the ground up, you could twist the Move to any degree, not just horizontally / vertically. That would have been awesome.

Sony should excerpt these parts of the preview for their 'buttons! lol' propaganda sites:
Maybe their message is getting across. Perhaps because it is in fact true?
I feel a bit embarrassed for EA though. John Daly seems like it might upstage them in the golf motion control stakes, and now Sorcery looks tastier than anything they've done with Harry Potter on the same front.

So for Australians what would be the best bet, starter pack and then Sports Champions ? Don't really need a navigation controller yet... do i?!

RE: Gamespot review
I strongly suspect its not about keeping the controller pointing at the screen, but rather keeping the controller within the camera's field of vision - something that could easily be achieved by moving the eye slightly...
Funny thing, I quite like Kevin VanOrd on the Hotspot podacst, but I have absolutely no time for his opinions as expressed in print.
Terrible, terrible, critic imho. He has the most annoying habit of fixating on small niggling points and inflating them to the extent that they obscure anything good about the games he reviews.

Sometimes people are just wrong. This is one of those times. TTP has put the evidence for this on his blog ages ago.

presumably there is no hurry for them to update with content, if the release isn't until Friday.
Hey, can someone outline how the controllers work when you sync them with the PS3? I only have two DS3s at the moment, so not sure how they all interact with each other. Will they automatically assign themselves as the highest number controller? eg with just the PS3 on, I press the PS button on the move, it'll become controller 1, but if I turn the PS3 on with a DS3, then the move, it'll be controller 2?
Wondering what happens if you have a nav controller, and how the game knows to use that rather than a DS3 which might happen to be on (for navigating the XMB or playing a previous game). Does it look for a nav and prioritise it?
Big bunch of Move demos for the SCEE stores. 9 demoes!
And it looks like the HVB update is free

Tried it myself just now. Not an issue for me to be honest since the ball never leaves the camera's field of vision unless I try really hard or try to hide it.
The Tumble demo is awesome. I built a tower clearly not intended to be built that way, but it worked. Very shaky but also very nice.
The controller works great with my projector setup. When the ball is going through all its colours during calibration it's quite hypnotic.
The only thing I don't like so far is the plastic on the device. I usually have no problems with sweaty controller hands, only when I'm using the Wiimote condom (which I don't use). With the Move stick my hand got a bit sweaty as well. Maybe it was the drama of Tumble? ;-)

Do you have a front projector? I assumed the Move would not work in a completely dark room.
Moreover, my PS3 is on the opposite side of the room, near the projector, so I'd need an extension cable to set the camera near the screen. I'm also wondering how the Move will work on a 110" screen,,,

Good news !
Now everything is set, except that Zavvi hasn't sent Moves yet
Can't wait to try Tumble and echochrome !

No, my projector is basically above my couch a bit to the right. It's in the top right corner of the PS Eye's field of vision. The PS3 is next to my couch so I did need to use two USB extension cables to get the camera under the screen.
The move works great in a dark room. My room was almost completely dark (except for the projection of course) and it worked without any problem.
Screen size wasn't an issue either yet, but I just had time for the Tumble demo and the first mission of R.U.S.E. so far. Don't know about the other games, but it isn't an issue on the Wii ususally. I can imagine you might want a little bit of light for the augmented reality games though because the whole point is to also see yourself with a fake item.

Not sure if it was already mentioned earlier this morning or late last night, but Amazon has the Move Start Kit back in stock for Release Date Delivery. I went in and updated my order from earlier this week.

I am disappointed to be honest, perhaps because I have not really been keeping track of Move up until today. The size of the controller is perfect, but the face buttons are just not good enough - they feel like the +/- buttons on Wii, which doesn't cut it for main buttons as far as i'm concerned. I'm also not liking the minimal tactile feedback of the T button in comparison to the Wii remote Z trigger. It needs some sort of click to it as opposed to nothing.
Calibration is also an absolute bitch in the XMB - they really need to make these things automated like on the Wii. Hell, the whole XMB interface should be re-done to accommodate a pointer rather than the scroll-and-pray mechanism they have for Move.

Anyone know when LittleBigPlanet (the first one) will get the Move patch?

It won't. What you've seen of that is included on LBP2 in the form of 10 dedicated Move (co-op?) levels. Then LBP2 will get proper Move support (as in for create mode, direct seat and such) patched in early next year.

You don't need calibration in the XMB unless you have an issue. All necessary calibration that you need is in the game, and what that entails depends on the game (simple stuff is just point at the PS Eye and hold Action for a few seconds, other 1:1 games may want to know the length of your arm and such).
The T button is fully analog, and needs to be pressure sensitive in a linear fashion from start to finish, and easy to press. The same goes for the start button. It's not perfect for all games or situations, but you'll get used to it.
The face buttons are minimalist, but serviceable and not often used. I think they're ok. Give it some time, it's built for slightly different tasks so design has prioritized different functionality.
I'm having a blast.
I really like table tennis, but archery is just... cool. Playing with 2 move controllers makes you feel badass, having to take the arrow from the quiver, lining it up and everything :lol
The challenges are fun, and getting the max points is addicting (when targets are moving, throwing an arrow in the exact center isn't too easy).
I didn't expect to like it that much, honestly. No delay at all, and the 1:1 feels just right.
I didn't have any issues with the calibration in game, it takes about 2 seconds. The important thing when it tells to point at the tv, is to point at the right height, otherwise it can mess up your aim badly.
