    Well said. I am just waiting for a game to come along to really get my attention. I can play MAG, Heavy Rain, Killzone 3, and Socom with my DS3 controller. I want a game that only uses the MOVE controller that will blow me away.

  • PS Everyone Please put Sand-witch bag over the PS Move you can protect from getting dust on it :). Another great idea from me.

  • Yay! I just got my 2 move controllers in just a bit ago. one arrived from ups and one from fedex (both from amazon) about 5 minutes apart. Demo disk rocks, but why did they put the sports champions game on the disk when it comes with the sports champions disk already? strange.. I suppose they plan on putting that in with other stuff though *shrug* – so excited. come on and finish charging already! lol..

  • Best money I’ve spent in a while. Everywhere I’ve gone is sold out. The Move is incredible, accurate, and much better than any other motion controller out there. So glad I bought the bundle and can’t wait to see what Sony has planned next.

  • These bundles sound good for those who have still yet to endulge in the PS3 and its goodness.

    however i wont be getting my Move till christmas.
    so 90 or so days left

  • Aside from Resident Evil 5, Dead Space Extraction and LittleBigPlanet 2, I’m not so sure there’s enough games to justify a 100 dollar purchase.

    I probably will get a Move in the long run, but I’m going to need to see some more games come out first. A different bundle than Sports Champions would be nice too.

    I’m hoping you guys will have some really cool Move announcements in the near future to get me hyped.

    Oh! And Sorcery…that game also looked good. But…that doesn’t have a release date yet, does it?

  • just placed my order on Amazon for the 320gb, to replace my YLOD 80gb, which hopfully gets revived on monday to transfer HDD data to new system. I’m going through alot this week people, Move just happens to be coming along for the ride. i was originally not going to purchase it.

  • I’m getting mine in a couple hours. And i downloaded all the demos that move will work with last night!

  • I can’t put mine down! This is incredible!

  • I’m really not feeling that circle on the box….

  • to much money. You have to pay for a navigation controller and then a sub controller, and for some games you need two navigation controllers, plus you need a ps eye. what a rip off.

  • Finally got done playing Sports Champion games, as im now charging my PSMove controller, i just want i love gladiator duel, that is a really fun game.

  • @ 102

    good idea, i keep my PSMove in the sports bundle box when not in use.

  • The move is awesome, glad I picked on up! Can we manually change the color of the sphere?

  • @111 – Nick-30
    you only need 1 move controller and nothing else for most games (except boxing and one other, I forget which). The secondary controller is always optional, you can use a sixaxis or dualshock controller just fine but 99% of the time you only need the 1 move controller. you hold T (trigger) button and then wave it around to move it around like a mouse pointer in menus and such – they need to add mouse cursor support for the web browser though, just something I tried and didn’t work – so for browsing the net you’ll need a directional controller of some kind :)

  • I just wanted to thank you, PlayStation. I have had the Move now for almost 24 hours and I adore it. My shoulders and arms are sore already and Sports Champions is a blast. Beach volleyball with a buddy is pretty amazing.

  • Hi,
    Does anyone know if it’s possible to have wireless connection between PS3 console and PS3 eye ?
    I use projector instead of conventional TV and for this reason the distance between PS3 console and PS3 eye is very long. I would need about 30ft long USB cable I guess.
    If there is a way to make wireless connection – how can this be done ?
    If not – are there any signs that the new PS3 eye will come out, bluetooth perhaps ?

    Anyone?

    Thanks for help,

  • Ordered the 320GB bundle, navigation controller and second move controller from Amazon with release day delivery. Got the navigation controller and move controller in 2 different shipments on Friday. Like many other Amazon shoppers, it is after release day and I am still waiting for the 320GB system bundle.

    Good to see so many posts of people who are enjoying theirs.

  • I got mine on Launch Day I have to say it is awesome I love the sword fighting game on the Sport Champions plus i bought Eyepet and Kung Fu rider their great games i love it

  • I’m not sure if you actually need the nav controller.

    I was playing RE5 just fine using my Dual Shock 3 in my left hand and the main Move Controller on my right. Haven’t tried it with Sports Champions yet though. I guess the nav controllers would be better for certain games since they’re easier to hold on to with one hand.

  • I picked up the PS move bundle, PS move controller, PS Nav and start the party.

    I had a kids party yesterday so timing was great timing.

    Everyone was impressed young to old.

    I played all the demos and sports champions and I am impressed also by the tech.

    Start the Party is a great way to show non gamers as they are impressed with the augmented reality.

    If this is just the beginning then wow…

  • wow u call 99.99 overprice lol thats cheap and 49.99 thats not bad for what u get a move controller itself is 49.99 ps eye 39.99 sports champions 39.99 but oh well i love the move i purchased the bundle and also a extra controller and i purchased a bundle for my daughter and she loves it i like what sony has done i must say the future of gaming is in good hands thanks sony

  • I am just loving the Move. I have the Sports champion bundle, But I do wonder how in the world you get 4 people playing a game with only 1 camera? Is there something that I don’t know about that you can use two cameras to get a wider view or is it something in the works? or is it just not needed?
