The third party seller, who does offer Prime, is actually £1 less than Amazon.

Sales of PS4 Camera & Move controller skyrocket after PS VR announcement
- Thread starter viHuGi
- Start date
Ya because many people use Prime.
You're being sarcastic, but many people do use Prime. Possibly 60M+ in the US, and 80M+ worldwide.
Besides, Prime or not, third party sellers eligible for Prime have the same shipping rates as Amazon themselves. And at least here in Arizona, I always try to buy from third parties because they don't charge sales tax. I don't know about the UK.

I have a camera and stand from close to launch still, not sure if I wanna grab move controllers yet or just use the ds4. I hated wagging my arms around with the wii >.> it's giving me painful memories lol

it may happen next year. but they really don't NEED to update those wands right away.
- micro / USB mismatch, who cares really
- select / start, some games will take control of the gameDVR to use Social a Screen functions so no recording anyways... besides if the Move controllers maintain Start and Select, again really not a big deal, they are a separate scheme from DS
- 240Hz tracking was not possible until PS4 Camera
- stereo depth cueing same deal
- lack of dpad is irrelevant when you can point at the thing you want (might be nice - but it does have face buttons, sooooo yeah. remap the labels in VR. you can't actually see the controller
they designed these things very well. I'm not sure if the state of the art w/r/t the accelerometers and magnetometers used vs the DS4 but they had millimeter accuracy on the PS3, so it's probably still quite good. Tumble and Sports Champions table tennis attested to this IMO.

No, just the Moves. The Nav controller doesn't have an orb so it can't be tracked in VR.

Well you weren't wrong
I doubt they had PSVR on the radar in 2010.
Well... I'm pretty sure Richard Marks heavily implied that move controllers were primarily designed with VR in mind. During the same presentation he also showed slides detailing VR prototypes from Sony back from around 2010. Hopefully someone has a link to the presentation I'm talking about...
People are really afraid of the PlayStation Move & Camera prices going up? lol if anything they will get cheaper if they start selling more.
You don't need the camera for voice control.
But in a situation like this where Sony can start manufacturing more now thanks to the demand I don't see the price going up.
Why couldn't it be used a controller in conjunction with the Move though?
Eh you're kinda right too. Average used prices will likely go up. I don't know if they will change MSRP though (that may cause issues with retailers). Will be interesting.

Of course and I just got rid of all the Move crap that was collecting dust.
Have a set of move accessories still in box from when it was on discount in 2013 at Best Buy 5 bucks each. Only used one for Resident Evil 5, Socom 4, Heavy Rain and MAG. Heavy Rain move support was terrible btw.
Finally I can get more use. Socom 4 was pretty good as was MAG.
Just need to get a new camera.

Current demand is low because there hasn't been a compelling use for Move for years. The prices reflect that demand. The only reason sellers can afford to price it so low is because these people working out of their garages got a bunch of units super-cheap back when major retailers were getting rid of them years ago.
That being said, anyone who buys now in fear that prices will skyrocket is only going to save themselves maybe $30-50 total. Retail is only $20 more per Move, and don't forget the likelihood that Sony's 2 Move bundle (w/ or w/out camera) alongside PSVR's launch will offer a very good value.
The camera has been selling around the $40 mark since like a few months after the release of the PS4 & PlayStation Move can be bought from Amazon for $38 even if the marketplace sellers run out or jack the prices up.
But I really think Sony is going to manufacture a newer model if the old model run out instead of making more of the older models.

I can see them also doing a newer revision of the Move, especially with an updated micro USB for charging as well.
See I told y'all not to panic lol
unless you found a really good deal the $499 bundle is better than the prices on amazon for the camera & 2 PS Moves because you also get a game with the bundle.
