I'll probably still play it... *cries*

Yeah, correctamundo. I know only Gold edition gets the Move patch, but all I wanted to know was if the patch was free or horsearmoured pack in PSN, or should I instead wait for the Move Edition which is coming soon too anyways. I saw a lot of comments of people playing RE5 Move edition so I was just wondering about that...
Standard edition was just mentioned because of coop with my friends who don't yet want to get Move. Confusion matrix trophy achieved.
(At least one of them pessimists friends was pleasantly surprised by the sensitivity, Augmented Reality and Move's accuracy. He will cave in eventually when more games arrive...muahahahahaaa!)
Just tried The Shoot and i damn liked it a lot! I would buy tomorrow but the damn thing is released in October. Whyyyyyy!?

You get them dirt cheap anyways, so buy two. FPS power of the Move is somewhat untested, but the accuracy is there, trust me. I expect developers start implementing Move support when they realize how accurate this thing really is. So improving FPS performance with magic wands is nice.
I don't know what kind of gamer your girl is but at least Move offers more co-op gaming than usual PS3 full price things.
Buy them. I did not regret after my short runs with this thingy.

I would prefer it if it used Move, like a Nintendo game. DS3 could always be an option.

I am fucking SWEATING atm. Crazy how fucking good this is. Now why are games 50 bucks?
Edit: no game I've tried of all the demos I got on the disc requires the navigator... any game I can play right now that requires it? It's been a waste of money atm.

Yeah, movement = DS3/navi and then using the tools 1:1 with the Move controller. Though isn't there a second Ape Escape game that wasn't shown yet? (edit: ah ok, so there will be a "normal" game as well)

It was a waste of money anyway but you can try the Heavy Rain Move demo.

Well, I would like to see a Move-designed Ape Escape proper, but not an

Ape Escape was able to show off the strengths of the
Kinda like how they always use SSHD to show off new PS3 features, or Ducks in bathtubs.

No, I did what everyone else besides forum monkeys do when they buy products. They go to the store and buy them.Zanboo said:
Anyways, holding a DS3 and Move is something I tried a couple of weeks ago. It's like holding my dick in my left hand while trying to navigate with my right. It doesn't work and after 10 minutes I want to kill myself.
The navigator feels perfect in my hand, I guess not many games supports it right now but it will most likely be top tier accessory once the real deal games starts rolling out aka KZ3.

The bolded is what I fully expected to happen. Even worse considering it's, you know... the 15th anniversary of PlayStation and all :/
Got my move, some quick impressions:
Echochrome: nice enough use of the pointer as a torch, but I never really got on with the first one, was a little too abstract for me much beyond the tutorial levels, so I won't buy the full game. Nothing spectacular in terms of motion tracking etc
Beat Sketcher: No idea what the point of this is, other than doodling on a video image of you. Got annoyed quite quickly as the tracking seemed to be literally the position of the move ball. So you had to move the controller really far to get to the extremes of the screen (start the party had a little of this).
Sports Champions: Only one hole of disc golf which was disappointing. Controls were quite nice but the demo wasn't long enough to get a real feel for it. Oddly it says to stand with your leading shoulder towards the screen, but then if you reach back for a full throw it loses sight of the Move and complains. You'd have thought they'd have noticed that, and could probably have relied on the gyro/accelerometers anyway.
Table tennis was surprisingly fun, and some nice 1:1 after serving. Probably not my cup of tea though. May pick the game up when its a little cheaper, as I'm curious about the archery.
Start the party: Got the full game of this and its a little meh. Worth it from my tech-geek perspective to see how it maps the game's items to your move on the video feed, which was really impressive. Quite liked the fan & helicopter levels, the twisting is nicely tracked. Not so keen on the fish popping level, wasn't sure how well it was tracking my depth, but that might be as I was too far away, it complained a few times. Will experiment. Overall it'll probably be a fun distraction for the kids, but I'll want something that offers more.
The Shoot: Really enjoyed this, probably the surprise hit of the demos for me as I wasn't expecting much. The tracking was fast and seemed accurate, although I did notice it losing tracking on the train level. After pumping the move up and down to propel your wagon, when I pointed back to the screen the cursor tended to be off to the left a little.
Overall though it was a nice first feel for a lightgun type game. I'll try and pick up a gun shell at the weekend to see if that improves the feel even more. Will probably pick the full game up, depending how close to Time Crisis its released.
Eyepet: Had a major problem trying to calibrate where the floor was. Did it in the end but the 'floor' ended up in the middle of the air somewhere. Also we had to point the camera down more than with the other games which was a bit fiddly. The augmented reality is 1000x better with the move than with the card and actually makes the game a relative pleasure to play. This also has 3D support but I'll probably not use it again, especially as my younger kids play it - it isn't particularly effective or add anything to the game.
Tumble: Fantastic. Looks great, the controls offer real finesse, and the stereoscopic 3D is effective. Playing through the tutorial it was second nature to put the blocks through the hoops. My only gripes are gameplay ones rather than tech. I don't like how the blocks snap to the move - if I want to jiggle a block that has already been put in a tower, I'd prefer for my move to snap to the block. Several times my tower has collapsed as it basically rips the block out. Also, on the levels where you get blocks dispensed out of little circles on the right, you can't seem to get a preview either of the size, or the materials, whereas you can find out the materials when the block is on the floor by pointing at it. Overall though definitely the pick of the release titles for me.
Not tried TV Superstars demo or Hustle Kings yet, will try and get to them over the weekend.
Generally I'm going to have to spend some time working out the sweet spot for distance. A lot of the games seemed to want me to be closer - I was sitting about 10ft away and sometimes Start the Party would ask me to come closer.

@mrklaw - Nice impressions.
I just went and paid for 2 Move's and Sports Champions myself as that title is jumping out at me. Unfortunately will have to wait until tomorrow to get the goods when the "official US release date" happens.
I'm curious. for the US PSN, what are the demos I can download now that will showcase the Move? I've seen quite a bit of mentions of demos and such but then see EUR, or on a disk, or not in the states, or not in the UK, etc ...
Does the PSN have a section for Move only games?

I wouldn't worry about shortages unless your only option is a Gamestop in a small town or something. Almost every retailer should have these available.

I like what I have seen so far from Move, but Sony really do need some 3rd parties to come forward with announcements aimed more towards the 'core' gamer. There'll be plenty of casual games, but they need more titles like Sorcery to come from 3rd parties.
As it stands at the moment, out of the people buying Move, a sizable proportion of them are hardcore gamers who likely already have PS3's and a penchant for buying many games a year. I like that established franchises have optional Move support, but I also want some new IP focused around Move to come forward, or maybe even some franchises of old brought back to life with Move.
Lets hope OPM are right and that more publishers have games for Move in development.

Wait wait wait wait will there actually be a harvest moon or was someone talking smack because I will flip my shit.
edit: just saw the marvelous thing a few pages back, alright I'm semi-cautiously flipping my shit but "simulation games" + them has to = harvest moon. I don't have a wii or a DS so I've been mad fiending.

not sure how Move would benefit classic Harvest Moon gameplay though (hint: I want a classic Harvest Moon made for PS3).

I opted for the second Move controller instead. Right now I don't think anything uses the Nav (and if it does it hasn't really been talked about) so save your $30 until something that actually utilizes comes along. Unless I'm missing something ...
I'd rather put the Nav on a Christmas/Bday list and play with double Move controllers for the games that can use it like the Gladiator and Archery games then have a Nav just sit there not being used.
