Ben-DutkaOkay, so we now know all about PlayStation Move. The total controller – wand plus navigation controller – will cost $80 ($49.99 and $29.99 respectively), you can opt for the bundle that comes with the PlayStation Eye and a game for $99.99, there will be a PlayStation 3 package that features Move and lastly, it'll be available in North America on September 19.
There were also quite a few Move-related presentations during Sony's E3 press conference (make sure to check out the Live Demo for Sorcery ), but one question remained: could we still use the standard Dual Shock 3 controller with Move-based games? Well, yeah. You don't necessarily need the navigation controller; if you wish, you can just hold your Sixaxis or DS3 controller in your left hand and the Move in your right. The Nav controller does have a few extra buttons, but the crucial buttons for most titles – L1, L2 and the analog stick – are available on the regular controller. Obviously, it may not be the most comfortable setup; it will probably be a more pleasant experience with the Navigation/Wand setup. But if you'd rather save a few bucks, it's good to know the option exists. And for the last time, could we stop seeing people compare the price of Move to the price of the Wii? The technology is just a bit different, you know. The price comparison really isn't fair.
Anyway, we'll have to see how things play out this fall. The idea of Heavy Rain: Move Edition certainly sounds intriguing…
Two questions…..
Will the DS3 only work in your left hand? I know I am in the lefthanded minority and this wouldn't matter to most.
Will the DS3 be able to be tracked like the Move even though it doesn't have the LED ball on the end of it? The Gladiator Duel game that will be packed in with it has only ever been demonstrated with two Moves. Can the DS3 be used for the shield?
You can hold the in either hand, so you should have no problem. the button layout is the same whichever hand you use. I would be amazed if there was not an option to switch from right to left handed controls.
It's a good idea to use your original controller but the stick w. the analog really isn't that much money considering the DS3 will hinder your comfort and most likely your control.
i think that some games will need two motion controllers then i'm gonna get two and i don't need the navigation controller not even the playstation eye they must make a package with 2 motion and a game
@Fane1024 & lawless, thanks guys i was unaware of that, but he is still off when it comes to a rip off company, Sony doesn't make the exchange rate for each country. I'm from Canada and I know things can get ridiculous but I know that companies don't make my countries exchange rate, thats up to my retarded government.
You're actually a bit off base. The current exchange rate is something like 84US cents for one Aus dollar. Yet while you pay sixty bucks for a game ours is up over a hundred more often than not. Seriously, it's all sorts of f'd up. Also, exchange rates are based on economic standing and inflation of all countries, not just random governmentized crap. I'm sure you already knew that though. And, I never agreed that Sony was a rip-off.
Peace.
Australia suffers from being a relatively small market, so things are a little more expensive than they should be – even with currency conversion. This always affects markets that are relatively small. It's not right, but it does happen, and it's by no means limited to Sony.
