PlayStation Move Will Only Cost Me $180, And I’m Buying All of It

DualShockers writes, "...I once had doubts about motion gaming being accurate and about its relevance to gaming, until I saw it add to gaming I had to assume this would just be another broken promise from a gaming giant over-stretching itself to try and cover every aspect of gaming technology they could. I was wrong, and the proof is in the pudding as they say. Move brought the heat and now I’m here to tell you why I have no issue putting down the big bucks to jump in...."

day 1 and buying all of it,best gadget this year for sure!!!

D4RkNIKON5025d ago

I plan to use the DS3 as a nav controller at first, and I already own a PS3 and PSeye, so all I have to buy is the Move controller for $60 and I am ready for motion. I can't wait to use it in LBP2, it will make create mode so much better!

DarkBlood5025d ago

i think the move controller is a tiny bit cheaper but i may be wrong

Genesis55025d ago (Edited 5025d ago )

When I first heard about it I really didn't think I'd be getting any of it. But the more I've seen of it the more I'm starting to like it. I'll be buying it. All of it.

Oner5025d ago

D4RkNIKON, DarkBlood is correct. The PS Move controller is only $50 ~ http://www.gamestop.com/Cat...

Darkstorn5025d ago

I'm not buying Move, but mostly because I feel that I could buy a handful of great games that I've missed over the past few months instead of spending over $150 on accessories. To each his own, though.

Hitman07695025d ago

I'm not interested in using the DS3 in place of the Nav.

ARBitrator5025d ago

Sony's not showing any love for the gamers that already own the PS-Eye, where the hell is the bundle with has the move controller bundled with the Navigation Controller and a game.

Not everyone needs a camera and I sure as hell don't need two.

Rumor5025d ago

is there two x and o buttons!???

why couldnt they make a black and white or something. confusing to say the least.

ot: y isnt this a probkem...kinect's price shure had "zomg ponies!!!?" reactions.... SMH

ravinash5024d ago

I'll be getting Move.

But it would have been nice if they sold a starter set without the camera for a little less.
Plus people could get that if they already have one set of move controller and wanted a second.

I'll get the starter pack anyway (might as well replace my old camera) and then get one Main move controller and use a DS3 for the second player. At lest that way I can play with the wife.

Chubear5024d ago

I think a lot of core PS3 gamers have already gotten a PSEYE and will only look for the move/navigation bundle. I myself will probably get a 2move/1navigation controller bundle for $99 if it came out.

heads up for eu gamers: sendit.com are selling the move bundle for £40 cheapest so far.

At checkout.

Also all the games are £22 with code SEND2 just make sure you order each one individually to get the codes to work multiple times.

DigitalRaptor5025d ago

@ jack

WildArmed5025d ago

dmn nice! D:
I hope we get a deal like that for US too >,<

jack_burt0n5025d ago

Yeah if u do the conversion thats $34 for the games and $42 for a move controller on its own, the EU is getting a good deal on this stuff.

Denethor_II5025d ago

I've pre-ordered the nav and Move. Initially I was swaying more towards Kinect, but after seeing more and more what Move was capable of I was sold on it.

WildArmed5025d ago

While I dont intend on buying ALL of it.
I am going for a 80 to 100$ sale day one.

vhero5024d ago (Edited 5024d ago )

If either of the 2 bowling games are as good as wii bowling then I am totally sold on this simple as I along with probably millions of other bought a wii for that damn bowling game and it was amazing and if the bowling game on PS3 is good it will sell a crap load of these. Shame the Kinect bowling game plays terrible (according to previews) as it looks good plus kinect doesn't seem right for bowling anyway. Sony should release there own official bowling game as MS looks to have th best looking bowling game this holiday just a shame the control system isn't right for bowling :(

Im gonna buy Move i decided, not straight away, i like the lazy idea of movin the xmb with 1 hand, sounds lame i know but with that extra hand i could hav a spiff or a beer in it, im constantly listenin 2 music through my PS3 (ive gotta wickid set of speakers) so bein able 2 navigate it a shade easier is +1 in my book, my daughter will b 3 in Janurary and she plays Flower now (kind of) so im sure shell get a buzz from it (thats slang for havin a good time)

Its an rts game i want mostly

Enate5025d ago

I know what you mean I have a PS3 and PC so I do get spoiled a bit having the PC as well for RTS games. I heard about an RTS awhile back under development as a psn title called Under Siege so here is to hoping it supports move being PS3 exclusive and all. After seeing some pretty good unit selecting and map movement ability in the demo they showed with the move controller.

-Mezzo-5025d ago

T'm getting the whole of it as well, and the reason behind it is the Awesome games that are supporting Move.

Move looks more promising than anything else, (According To ME)

RageAgainstTheMShine5025d ago (Edited 5025d ago )

as a guardian, its time to learn my 4 lazy little couch potatoes at home not to by lazy gamers this coming winter season. We could always use some sweating inside the house for the next six months of snow up here in Canada, anyways. So why not do it while having fun with 2 Move controllers, a PS Eye and some Sports Champions and a whole lot of crazy precision!

A motion control system as good as a $100K surgery simulator even at $180.00 is more than a bargain!

Optical_Matrix5025d ago

Until I see a Move only killer app game then I'll pass. I'll stick to DS3 when I play KZ3, Socom 4 and LBP2

HeroXIV5025d ago

LBP2? Really? You don't see the HUGE benefits of having 1:1 control in that game? The art made by the community alone will 100% be better. Also imagine someone making a shooting game similar to that commando game Move would be awesome in that scenario.

D4RkNIKON5025d ago

Yeah Move is going to make LBP2 so much more than LBP1 is with a DS3. Create mode will be so damn awesome, I can't wait!

Chug5025d ago

I was kind of on the fence but what you just mentioned about using move with LBP2 made me excited.

Goin to pre-order move right NOW!

Optical_Matrix5025d ago

I don't know why I've got so many disagree's. I just think that, although Sony has the best tech here, for me to buy it, it needs a game that makes me think "holy shit, I NEED to buy Move". LBP2 maybe, but it has the option of DS3. I just think there needs to be a Move only game to justify the purchase to me.

SoSLy5025d ago

I feel ya, Im just gonna buy move for the family and casual games. GOnna stick with the DS3 for games like KZ3.

acky15025d ago (Edited 5025d ago )

I would much rather have the choice of the two control schemes. Would add a lot to the replayability of the games and would mean everyone would be happy. Having only Move support might turn people off from buying a game who would otherwise buy it to play with the DS3.

Sevir045025d ago

I do not disagree, as i say but that The move really doesn't need a killer app because it has the media and the entire industry justifying why Its a great peripheral you should get. and currently the game that prolly will get you to drop the cash for it is sorcery. None the less. Games like socom 4 work better with the move nav combo than the DS3. i know it may be a bit hard to understand something that is a bit forieng when you've been gaming the traditional way for nearly 2 decades if you've been gaming that long but everyone who has used the Move has said its the best of the controller options and the the prefered of the 2.

game informers current issue talks about the Move and how it stacks up over the Kinect and Wii motion plus. and the games they have played including RE5Gold ed andf heavy rain sang nothing but praises. It was an undeniably none baised article and it really drove the point home about the potential of the hardware and what it has right now.

the fact that games like Dead Space and KZ and Socom make use of this so well shows why this peripheral is made for Hardcore first and casuals second. I've used both the Move and kinect. and while i may prefer the Ps3 for my needs in gaming I can definitely tell you that the Move with Socom and RE5 plays well. The controller fits perfectly and is very conducive to comfort and conforms to your grip well and your buttons are mapped well. It felt completely natural playing those games. this game con KZ3 will be playable with move support and trust me the industry will all get in depth hands on time with the game. Id strongly recommend picking one up or better yet. September start the world wide trial of Move and Navigation demos and all stores will have them on Ps3 demo kiosks. you'll be able to quell your doubts as the games that will be on hand to demo is the RE5 Socom 4 and Move launch titles.

Air Conflicts: Secret Wars - PlayStation Move's Best Kept Secret

Air Conflicts: Secret Wars debuted in 2011, and later updated for modern consoles. However, it's the PlayStation 3 edition that stands out.

Why the PlayStation Move Failed

Sony's PlayStation Move may not have been able to contend with Nintendo's Wii, but it paved the way for PlayStation VR's success story.

SullysCigar978d ago

I use them most days and have for years 🤷🏻‍♂️

They're definitely way past a needed update, but I've got a tonne of fun out of them, so they haven't failed me.

bouzebbal978d ago

The best motion control platform it's so intuitive.. Died due to lack of support from Sony.. It had some amazing games

thorstein978d ago

They are used constantly for PSVR games. So, no they haven't failed. Neither has PSVR (or VR in general.)

Bigman4k978d ago (Edited 978d ago )

The article was talking about why it ps move failed before psvr came along

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH979d ago

It failed because it sucked plain and simple.

LOGICWINS979d ago

I feel that's a bit harsh. To this day, playing Killzone 3's campaign with PS Move/Sharpshooter gun combo is the most fun/immersive experience I've ever had with an FPS.

I think Move was simply not as profitable as Sony wanted it to be, but it didn't "suck".

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH979d ago

It most definitely sucked. You people can act like it was something special all you want but it was horrible. The entire motion control fad was a waste of resources and time. Ever single motion controller besides the Wii failed and is no longer being used today in gaming. It's ok to admit it...

Minute Man 721979d ago

@SPEAK

The Move was better that the Wii mote. If the Wii was anywhere accurate as the Move was you could say the Wii was better. Sure it sold boatloads but was it really played consistently??

yeahokwhatever978d ago

I played it in 3D with the move gun on a 100 inch projector and it BLEW MY MIND. I was exhausted, but i finished the campaign standing there.

SullysCigar978d ago

"Ever single motion controller besides the Wii failed and is no longer being used today in gaming"

Just no. Games release most weeks (for years now) that support Move controllers. Some ONLY use Move controllers.

Look, I get you're not a fan, but if you're going to rant, at least inform yourself in advance.

LordoftheCritics979d ago

I would say both Move and Kinect weren't supported properly.

Sony and MS abandoned what could have been amazing.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH979d ago

Kinect sucked too. I would say Kinect may have been cool had it worked as intended but it was ahead of it's time. Both Kinect and Move are gimmicks nothing more. I honestly don't see why Sony still implements "motion controls" recent controllers. Who really uses that crap? And to play what?

Profchaos978d ago

I so t think Sony abandoned the move it's technically repurposed and still supported on the ps5 just for VR

RedDevils978d ago

Kinect should be kept as media interactive features.

LordoftheCritics979d ago (Edited 979d ago )

@SPEAKxTHExTRUTH
Again if it was supported right.

Where even a fast click of my fingers could get an immediate in game response.

It feels trash because we have been shown or lived with bad versions of gesture based tech. Think Minority Report fast. That could be something.

''You people can act like it was something special all you want but it was horrible.''

No one is acting like it was special, I said it could be amazing.

''I think Move was simply not as profitable as Sony wanted it to be''

Like I said, it wasnt supported. Give us a AAA game with precision gestures well implemented into the game and then we can discuss profits.

979d ago
SPEAKxTHExTRUTH979d ago

I don't deal in "what if". It wasn't supported right and even if it was it was still a gimmick.

thorstein978d ago

"Like I said, it wasnt supported. Give us a AAA game with precision gestures well implemented into the game"

You just described every AAA PSVR game. And even the indies have incredible integration. No Man's Sky VR is insanely good.

Silly gameAr979d ago

And, you can act like it was horrible, but I had a blast with my Move. I had the whole collection of House of the Dead, Dead Space Extraction, and RE Darkside Cronicles, The Fight, and Socom 4, and I would play the hell out of those games I even beat a playthrough of the Resistance 3 campaign with the Move. Getting drunk and playing with friends was a freaking blast.

You can pretend that you had a move and played it all you want SPeak the Truth, but it was accurate, and usually on point. I hate when people act like they've played something just to trash it, when they really just have a vendetta, and think the Move is easy prey for your hate.

Minute Man 721979d ago

Wait you can play Dead Space with the Move?? I need it

Orchard979d ago

“You can pretend that you had a move”

I love this crazy idea that if someone has something bad to say about hardware/software - they must be lying about owning it and clearly do not own it!

Because all hardware and software has a 100% approval rating from all purchasers…

P_Bomb979d ago (Edited 979d ago )

Shoot I forgot about Dead Space Extraction and Umbrella Chronicles. Had those too. Still do (digital).

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH979d ago

I have a vendetta against Move? Lmao that's the most ridiculous comment I've read today. I didn't buy it because like I said motion controls are gimmicks. I had a Wii and it was decent enough but a gimmick although successful. I had a Kinect and it too was trash. Don't act as if you know what I have and haven't owned. Move was nothing more than a Wiimote ripoff

yeahokwhatever978d ago

SO MANY really great experiences for the Move. The Fight was excellent!

Silly gameAr978d ago (Edited 978d ago )

@Minute Man

There was a game called Dead Space Extraction that you could play the Move with.

@Orchard. Please don't reply to me, because every time I say something to you, I magically end up restricted. So, just ignore me like I ignore you, so there will be no hurt feelings, please.

That is demostrably false.... Most VR games have motion controls and the PSVR uses the Move controllers.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH978d ago (Edited 978d ago )

VR games have a controller most of the time not some magic wand. And VR is not the same as PS move or Kinect. I'm not a fan of VR either. A controller and a couch is all I need for my gaming needs.

Vanfernal978d ago

@SPEAKxTHExTRUTH

"And VR is not the same as PS move or Kinect."

PSVR LITERALLY uses the Move controllers. Now it's just obvious you have no idea what you're talking about. You're saying Move failed and nobody uses it anymore when it's an integral part of PSVR and is still being used in 2021.

ScootaKuH978d ago

It didn't suck. It worked but the games just weren't there, that's why it failed.

Father__Merrin978d ago

The move was excellent it was 1 to 1 precise time crisis was a joy to play aswell as sports champions it didn't hit mainstream as it was an addon unlike Nintendo wiimote

I wish that someone would have made a proper boxing game. I still have a blast with the Sports Champions boxing, but to have a boxing game that was more in-depth would have been awesome.

Dario_DC978d ago

Try Creed for PSVR, it's brilliant

OMGitzThatGuy979d ago

Because it was a uninspired ripoff of the Wii controller without the Nintendo library to back it and didn't try to put any real effort into development such as getting their top developers to make games for it and instead gave tech demos disguised as games to their least talented developers so the best can focus on single player only games.

Ryushaa979d ago

Except the Move was an idea roughly implemented in the PS2. Yes, I'm serious.
Just search on youtube: PlayStation 2 - Motion Controller (2004)

Nonetheless, just like the whole Wii, it was more of a gimmick than a proper input evolution in games.

jukins979d ago

Exactly. Its funny time and time again sony is the first innovate. Often at its own peril. Like your example the move started on ps2 taken advantage of by nintendo. Sony buys gakai for game streaming only for other companies to overtake them.

Profchaos978d ago

Are you talking about the gametrak on os2 which used strings to track your hand position I used to have this and a gold game it was awesome but the game itself sucked if it had integration with tiger woods or something it would be way better the tracking was excellent even back then as it wasn't using guesswork.
However the game was very forgiving and no way to turn it harder and no licensed players or courses hurt it.

99% of the Wii's games were "shovelware", in fact, I think thats what started that phrase..

There were plenty of games and I'm glad that not every game became a Move game.

These PS3 Games are Going to get Really Expensive

Could you get rich by investing in PS3 games? Almost definitely not. Can you make a few bucks by flipping PS3 games over the years? Yeah, sure! It wouldn’t even be that difficult. But let’s face it: Once these games are in your collection, you’re probably keeping them forever.

CDbiggen981d ago

There's a reason I didn't buy most of these when they came out.

MadLad981d ago

After a game's multiple generations old, and can't be had new at a reasonable price, that's when I see nothing wrong with emulation.

What's the point of paying someone scalper prices when the dev/publisher isn't even benefiting from it?

mkis007981d ago

Emulation doesn't stop a games physical box from becoming collectible.

Knightofelemia981d ago

I paid $30 for SH Downpour on PS3 now it's around $70-$85 Canadian Lolipop Chainsaw I paid $15 and it has really gone up in price. I wonder if Transformers War and Fall of Cybertron will go up in price two of the best Transformers games every made.

neutralgamer1992981d ago

In 5 years time all those games will be worth at least $150 to $200 that you listed

981d ago
neutralgamer1992981d ago

Ever since Sony announced that they would shut down PS3 store these prices have skyrocketed and even though Sony backtracked now most gamers realize that it's a matter of time before the PlayStation 3 store is shut down. If you want these games get them while you can even if digital because once that story shut down the physical prices will just go crazy high we saw that already

And many of these games did not sell like crazy amounts so they are limited number of copies available for sale at any given time

MadLad981d ago

Folklore is a game I've always really wanted to play, but I got a PS3 late in the generation, and it was already really expensive to find, being it didn't exactly sell well, therefore was already kind of a collector's item.

Kept hoping I'd find a cheap copy randomly at stores and flea markets, but never happened.

franwex981d ago

I got mine for $5 at Walmart like 10 years ago. I have yet to play it.

neutralgamer1992981d ago

It was available at GameStop for a while for under $20. Don't know har happened but GameStop started to sell their used games based on ebay prices it seems

You can still find it for around $60-70 and which in my opinion is a good price for a game that will be worth double if not triple that in next 5 years

Mr Logic981d ago

Have you considered modding your PS3? Neither Sony or the dev would be getting money from that Folklore purchase. Kind of a victimless crime at that point.

MadLad981d ago (Edited 981d ago )

@neutral

Honestly, I just want to actually give the experience a try. I'm not someone who would buy it at a premium just to potentially rip someone off down the road.
I mean, there are collectors out there and if paying a couple hundred dollars is worth it to them then more power to them, but I'm not one to be on either end of that exchange.

I know it's taboo, but I might dig in and see the state of PS3 emulation on PC. I have a good PC, so it might be able to power through the often times poor performance, being PS3 is known to be hard to emulate.

I've never emulated anything past the PS2/Dreamcast but, as I said in my first post, I don't see anything wrong with emulation if the game you want to play can only be had used, with no money going to the creators.
