High Velocity Bowling Move Support Not Free?

When I got Move I was extremely suprised about one thing, the lack of a bowling title on the demo disc. Every motion thing ive used always had a bowling game to show off the motion. Wii, phones, the Zune etc...Then I remembered that game I downloaded years ago to play with my Sixaxis controller, High Velocity Bowling.

haha, in Europe already xd

[Shadow Flare]

Yeah I'm in Europe and the move patch for HV Bowling was free. As has been every move patch I've downloaded

This is a Bad job by SCEA. What about people who bought the game originally and supported Move day one? I don't mind holding back some stuff for Ps Plus owners but a patch to update an existing game to work with a new controller? very poor choice.

Way to pull a MS and Activision Sony!!!

[WildArmed]

Oh people never do their research
*looks at the author of the article*

It's free, they are just giving it to PS+ members a week or two earlier. Not big of a deal really =/

Read the QA. Grace said it is free but exclusive to + members in the US first

[YoshiMeetsU]

It's available free on the EU store. But it is exclusive to Plus members in the US(also free). Stop holding back content so you can justify charging people $50 a year Sony.

[Corrwin]

Why do you assume extra development equates to free content?

[Soldierone]

We dont, we already paid for the controller :P

Its not like its costly to put in Move support in a game based off Sixaxis to begin with. It was announced and made like a year ago anyways. If you want to support them then there is what a thousand items on the PS Store you can buy for this game? 99 cent balls ftw?

"Its not like its costly to put in Move support in a game based off Sixaxis to begin with"

And you would know this because you're the head of development in a small games developer? Because the Move does not use the same tech as the sixaxis - sure it's similar, but it controls much differently (for one speed is determined by the camera, not the acceleration of the sixaxis).

You probably also bought another DualShock, do you think therefore all local-multiplayer games should be free?

[stephmhishot]

Judging from your comments, you're pretty happy with your 360, so why worry about it?

[YoshiMeetsU]

So how I feel about my 360 has barring on what was once free for all is now being held back because I don't pay for Plus? If you must bring up the 360 its the same thing with Gold and I dont like it there either.

Corrwin: I understand the content costs $$ to make and if the developer wants to charge for that effort so be it no problem. i have a problem with the whole plus getting stuff first when I bought the game and supported as much as any Plus member. I understand we will get it for free eventually but holding it back simply because I refuse to pay $60 for the coupon service is lame. I don't believe they will charge any existing owner of the game for the patch so disagree with that part of this article.

/cry baby

[Corrwin]

Oh heavens! Not a Costly Patch! Really? For a patch to incorporate a controller that didn't even exist when the game first released?

Those charlatans!

[Delive]

If not, no need to worry about buying it.

[nycredude]

I'd imagine it since the move recognizes wrist move it would work wonders with a bowling game. With the Ds3 you have to use a button to control spin.

That being said I believe that someone on the Playstation Blog confirmed this is a free patch, but it is exclusive to PS plus owners through 10/25/10. Which is a whole month away!

BS!

[jack_burt0n]

its not a new game, but its a nice option and i never got used to the button press for spin.

but after playing bocce it could be alot better :)

[Focker-420]

Its FREE. This article is full of fail. In the US PS+ users get the FREE patch one month early. It will be available to everyone for FREE next month .

[ATLRoAcH]

It is free. Here's a link for proof.

Also, it comes out on the 26th of October for everyone.

[mac4u10]

The move implementation to the game is not that fun anyway, im in Europe so downloaded it free without PS+

[MurerDk]

Its always good with free updates... there is not only move support, there is also 3d support, not to die for, but Looks and plays good..

[R_aVe_N]

Why people always think they deserve free stuff I will never understand. Do you people think dev work for free and it costs them nothing to do it? The DLC is free it just releases early for PS+ people. Bunch of freakin cry babies!

[Ummm Da Dum]

why dont you yanks create a uk psn account and then log into the euro PSN and get the update now.

no need to wait a month then

[Neko_Mega]

It is going to come free, Plus users just get to play with it first.

Not like it really matters, I mean you are only using a Move controller but it works the same as the DS3 controller.

Anyways I download it but I don't have the game downloaded, bad internet makes it hard to go threw all 714 items in my download list.

[hiredhelp]

honistly i dont think from aps3 owners point of view. (MYSELF) psn plus is worth it. but some say paying that kind of money is crazy. i say paying for your IP and paying to play games online thats not useing deadicated servers is crazy.(XBOX360) if you disagree with that.then your a mug. cos quite simply playstation is free.this is a option. microsft there is only one option to play online.
