Sony Move bundles detailed and priced (Including boxart pics)

I honestly think they should have gone the other way and created a bundle for all those who did get the PSEye already... I don't really need the camera, but would love to get a bundle with either the Navi or a second move controller.

actually, we europeans think we got much better deal :D.
It is 69 Euros for the pack, while one with the game would be 99 Euros.

At 69 Euros, it is priced same as new game here, and becomes much better option.

A move+navi bundle should be a no-brainer shouldnt it

These may come later. But at launch they probably want only bundle with Eye so that no one accidentally buys the wrong bundle and gets a bad impression since they are missing the Eye.

Logically it may make sense.
 
Aww, already have the Eye. To buy the game and one wand will likely cost close to the bundle, if not just as much. Really no concrete choice for us early Eye adopters.
 
Well don't forget there are a lot of titles supporting the Move that you may even already have. For instance on the list of titles in the other thread, I already have Hustle Kings, Velocity Bowling, EyePet, and I was going to buy Heavy Rain, LBP2 and Killzone 3 anyway. The first four will all be patched with Move support in there. There are also various other cheap PSN titles supporting the Move controller. So from that standpoint, I think it's not such a bad deal to be able to just buy a single Move controller and be ready to go with a fair number of games.

One thing I'm also really hoping for is to have titles like Sports Champions and Start the Party available from PSN day one preferably, because these are titles I"d prefer to have on my drive and not have to put a disc in - they're probably pretty small anyway.
 
Here's hoping InFamous, Dead Space 2, and Uncharted 2 inevitably support Move.

A while back there was a job ad on Naughty Dog's site looking for people with motion control experience.

Sell the Eye for a few bucks and buy the bundle :P

you save 10 dollars if you have the eye already.

50 for the controller and 40 for the game.

I may get the bundle anyway and use the extra eye for the PC. Its a great webcam.

Sentry, that EU box does not contain Sports Champions and is quite cheap. The US box also contains the Starter disc.

EU: Move, PS Eye, Starter Disc £59
US: Move, PS Eye, Starter Disc, Champions $99

Sony, just make Sports Chanpions a free write off a la Wii Sports. Get your price of entry lower. :lol Not making any money off of Sports Champiosns, would be a small price to pay for getting the price of entry lower.

Of course Sports Champions could also be a write off in actuality and just in the bundles to cover a higher price due to initial expenses of the new hardware.

smells of shit and fear

Why?

Because archaic, outdated control schemes are somehow preferable to control schemes that give you more precision and control?

Giving the option of motion control for games like Dead Space 2, InFamous 2, and Uncharted 3 is a no brainer. Minimal effort invested to adding in a control scheme with pointer functionality, and a huge benefit for added precision.

Yep they just need to flip the PS MOVE switch and the game is instantly made better by the control schemes that give you more precision and control.
worked for Heavy Rain.

Its £49.99/€59.99. If released in the US it would be $59.99.

Interesting how the sticker only shows 1 move controller being needed for The Fight.

Still don't understand how in hell they think they're gonna sell The Fight as a standalone game. Should have been included in Sports Champions.

Oh wow, I didn't know the little ball was soft. Thought it was plastic.

Yeah, it's been known for a while now that it was made of rubbery material, but even I never realized it would be THAT soft, thought it was like a a rubber with bendy plastic underneath or something.

I wish they made the a nav controller that doubled as a second wand. I can think of so many applications/games where a second wand would be useful, but there is no way in hell I want have to buy two wands + a nav controller (just for myself, let alone for any local multiplayer)

Thanks for posting that gif again. I have been looking for it in the last 5 days and couldn't find it. Finally added to my blog post :D

About The Fight box showing one motion controller it is indeed odd. I've searched around and there is only one preview which states (more or less) the game can be played with one Move.

This one: http://www.joystiq.com/2010/06/30/preview-the-fight-lights-out/

where they state the following:

Armed with both a Move controller and Navigation sub-controller (read: Nunchuk), I delivered multiple jabs, uppercuts and left/right crosses by performing those same maneuvers in real life.

Which doesn't make any sense given the Navi doesn't have sensors.

That's what happens when people write articles from the bullet points PR people give them. ;)

Unless they've snuck the sixaxis stuff into the navi controller without telling anyone. That would indeed be news.

But keep in mind PSEye is also capable of motion detection.
 
THe ball being soft gives me the feeling that in ten years you won't be able to find a Move controller with the ball still on.
 
Kind of reminds me of Sing Dance I played at E3. Where even though you can use two moves controller, you can also play it with one.

Where PSeye was working with the move in according to register your dance move. I wouldnt be surprize if the same goes for this game.

Was it hard plastic you wouldn't be able to find one Move controller with the ball still on in 10 days.
 
Something tells me this will crash and burn...

edit: reason being, you look at this and then you look at the Wii sports resort bundle. Now for the casual gamers, why would they want to get the Move over the Wii? Esp when Wii costs less, includes TWO games, AND a nunchuk (allowing you to play ALL the sports games)?

I dunno I just don't see how the bundle will sell well to the people it's aiming at.
 
I am so not excited for this holiday season with Move & Kinect.


BTW, I was predicting motion-controllers from Sony & MS for a while now . . . I'm surprised it took so long.

*If* a Wii owner is looking for an upgrade, they'd be looking at features not available on the Wii today, like HD, a more mature game library, Blu-ray, online gaming, etc.

I think in Sony's plan, Move is only one of the features on PS3. Over time, the PS3 Move will have its own unique library (probably more mature than Wii). The exact reason for Wii upgrader may just be: kid growing up, people getting tired of casual gaming, etc.

I personally think it's a limiting move for the reason that implementing core games on Move/Wiimote+ is non-trivial (The core gamers didn't say DS3 is broken).


Now for a fresh casual gamer, I'd say Sony is not going after them per se. There is little point in fighting a matured Nintendo Wii. It's easier to tackle them in the core gamer space since Nintendo Wii is relatively weaker there.

By the time Sony is done with Move, the casuals may have already moved on to FaceBook type of casual gaming. Things are growing rapidly over there.
 
I haven't got a source, but I'm pretty certain the navi has the accelerometers the sixaxis has. I can't see them letting the wii nunchuck have functionality the subcontroller has, but also, the sports games that can use two wands (archery and gladiator) can also use a wand and subcontroller, so there'd have to be some sensors in there, right? Otherwise Gladiator wouldn't work.

As for the squishy ball, good to know there won't be any of the injuries we saw in the early days of the wii. Although on the other hand, those injuries were hilarious

Besides, how can you possibly make the PS3 massively more appealing to casual gamers by adding a motion controller if at $299 it's not priced at a soccer-mom-casual-friendly price in the first place? You're going to increase the MSRP just so that it becomes that much more out of reach for them? Sony knows this, which is why they're going more for their existing userbase instead.

If the PS3 sku configs were strippable down like MS made the Arcade 360, then they'd have had room to add casual friendly features like motion controls to that barebones sku without pricing itself too far out of competition with the Wii.

Sony needs to get a Barry White-esque voice to do a new commercial - The Sony Move... it only does... evvvverything, baby.

Bundles should come with a navi.

Both Move and navi should be $10 cheaper.
Click to expand...

I agree. Sony wants $49.99 for a move and $99 for a Move, Eye and a Game. Their margin is probably > 50% on these. If they want to drive mass adoption, they need to sideline their greed and then start collecting when the base is there.
 
Amazon.co.jp are doing the starter pack for 5980Y (move & camera & demos) for anyone who's interested. Not bad considering DS3s are 4980.

Quick question: does the Move controller have any speakers like the wiimote?
Click to expand...
Nope. That's the one functionality of the wii remote that has gone ignored by Move and Kinect. A pity too, because you can do some really interesting things with it, especially if you had a better speaker.
 
I guess they were thinking about battery life. Somebody should really ask Mark if putting speakers in was ever really on the table.
