Sales of PS4 Camera & Move controller skyrocket after PS VR announcement

I got my camera tonight with free one day shipping and messed around with playroom for a minute. Move controller just got plugged in, gonna see if it holds a charge still this weekend. :)
 
Please, Sony, update the Move controllers. Bring the concept of the split controller you patented or even something similar to the Oculus Touch. I think I'm gonna keep saying this until it's definitely obvious that it won't happen.

It will and Sony gonna make you buying it.
 
Anybody feel like tossing me one *big watery kitty cat eyes*



Ive wanted one since launch but I just dont know what Id use it for really.
 
Oh... Oh my. Creepy dude with a pack of Marlboro's in his pocket, inflatable penises, and god knows what tied up in the other room.

I dont really understand whats creepy about imprisoning scores of little robots and only letting them out to play with sex toys for my amusement.

Oh come on! Let my imagination run wild here...

It rubs the lotion on it's skin, or it gets the rubber inflatables again!

;)

It is late, and I was actually cracking up at the video, lol. Even getting old myself, I can crack at the juvenile shit sometimes, hahaha. When they cheered louder when standing up, I almost lost it, lol.
 
Yeah i really was not expecting anything from it but got it all set up just for kicks and remembered that playroom game was already on the ps4 so i booted it up with no expectations...

Its a really really neat sensation at first. Just the little things like how it makes it seem the dualshock light is really bright, or when the robot scans your face its right over your face, exactly where it should be. And you can hear the little robots inside the ds4 screaming when you shake it. I had forgotten that i muted the mic earlier. Im sure its even cooler when they are reacting to my voice too.

The free dlc are very cool but the alien pal and the ninja game dont really need ar. They are just motion games.

So yeah. Not insanely mind blowing, but surprisingly awesome regardless.
 
Super glad I picked up four Move controllers last summer on the cheap.

Will the navigation controllers be supported too?

Nice! Thanks for the impressions. I am going to get the camera this week, and I am looking forward to messing around with it.

You can also use the camera for live streaming a overlay over your game play it even do background removal.
 
I'll be honest. It's either going to come down to a PSVR or an Xbox One. Microsoft has been pushing all the titles i'm interested in toward PC anyways so they might be making my choice for me.

3 big purchases per generation is enough.

If I had a hefty PC or was in a situation where I could upgrade to one I would be thinking long and hard about a Vive. As excited as I am for psvr, Vive (and rift) look amazing.

The rift and vive may look amazing but for me it will come down to the games. if you are using VR primary for games.

i think PSVR will have the better gaming library just because of Sony.
 
Micro USB is terrible. I've had new cables wear out in a few weeks. In six years I've never had one work properly for more than five months.
I'm glad that Move is mini USB.
 
Is there a need for the camera clip? Or can the camera sit on the desk in front of your tv like the kinect can?

I still have the cable that came with my PS3 in 2007 without any problem. I haven't had a problem with my PS4 cable yet but it does scare me a little.
 
Didn't kinect sell millions in its first week. Just saying :)

So what's the real price of ps vr fit these people?

I've Pre ordered the ps vr by the way I already had the camera. Do I need the move controllers?
 
Here's a question, of course they'll be repackaging the PlayStation move controllers for the launch of the PlayStation VR headset, but will they be updating or upgrading the move peripherals?

I only ask because I'd hate to get a move controller at a discount now only to find out that they're launching a new and improved move controller in time for the VR.
 
I'm part of that surge. I already had a move controller (and nav) from the PS3, figured I might as well grab another and the camera while the gettin' was cheap right after the announcement.

On the plus side, I might actually dig out Sports Champions and give it another go with two controllers. Waggle Waggle!

They had that one in the patent with thumb sticks on the side didn't they?
 
Just to be clear, the PS3 eyetoy will not work, right? I have to buy a ps4 camera? Either way I am going to hold out to see if they decide to do a camera + headset deal of some sort (all the while pre-ordering a headset as soon as I can).

Assuming you've not already had your answer, yes the PS3 camera will not work with the PS4. The one thing that Sony did do right this time around was give the camera it's own port on the PS4 so it doesn't take up one of the valuable USB slots.
 
Plugged my moves for the first time in years yesterday.
Everything is charging and working fine.

Made me want to play some kind of Sports Champions Collection on PS4 while waiting for the PSVR.
 
I don't think these were selling much at all though. Still find it strange people are all jumping in day one, good sign for the potential industry I guess.
 
I want a VR Time Crisis with that move gun thing from Killzone

Who wouldn't??

Loved the Time Crisis and House of the Dead games on PS3 with move, some part of these games (think it was the pirate one, not sure...) suffered from annoying move pointer drift, which is a no-go when shooting with a gun through iron sights. Hope it was just some software problem.

This all makes me want to put that PS3ye back in action.
