Officially comes out today!!! ordered mine from amazon yesterday and got release date delivery. Should be there when i get home. Plan on having a PS Move party at the house once i pick up a few games. First game I'm gonna get is EyePet for my son (his Bday is tomorrow). Then Ill pick up Sports Champions for myself and Start the Party for when we have a bunch of people over.Also gonna download the move patch for High Velocity bowling.

It has been getting great reviews and they all say it is very fun to play. MUCH MUCH better than the wii. Better games, better controls, more accurate, uses PSeye camera for video, etc.

Anyway I'M PUMPED! Is anyone else picking this up? What are your thoughts?
 
Much much better than the WII huh...only 5 years late.....

The reviews I've seen have all mentioned how much better the controls are than the wii.Move has 1:1 tracking and depth perception. You can't just "waggle" you wrist and cheat the game like on wii, you actually have to do the motion. Wii was cool for a few months.But mine has been collecting dust for years now. Not enough good games and too "kiddie" for my tastes.

Move isn't for everyone but I have researched all three of the console makers secondary controllers (wii plus, kinect, move). And PS move has gotten the best reviews and will actually get some games for harcore gamers to go with it in the near future.(Killzone 3, Socom 4)
 
I'm curious, but don't currently plan to buy it. Too much money and unoriginal, even if better than the Wii. I'm very curious about Kinect, but don't want to pay the money for that, either :p

Kinect is pretty interesting but I don't think it will have lasting appeal. Just my opinion of course. With no controller in hand you don't really have that sensory feedback like you do with a controller. For example, when you push a button on a game you know that an action will happen. So you feel like you have total control of whats going on when you want it to happen.I haven't played the kinect, only read up on it, but that is what i think will push away the hardcore gamers. I can see it being fun for casual players though and kids where controls are hard for them to use. I've also read alot about technical difficulties they have had at demonstrations. People moving in the background or walking in front of it seems to be an issue, and I also read something about it having a hard time recognizing you if you are sitting on the couch. Don't know maybe they can still fix those issues.
 
I don't have any plans to buy this. Unless they come out with some kickass games that use it, it's useless.

Not sure what type of games you are into Nick but I think they will try to target all demographics. They have the casual games at launch and they have Socom 4 and Killzone 3 coming soon for FPS fans. They also have RUSE coming out soon. Resident Evil 5 is getting patch for move. Most sports games will start to use this too. Plus most games also give you the option of using the Dualshock still too.

I pretty much play and like all types of games. I have been heavily into gaming my entire life. I doubt there is anyone here who plays more than me. What I don't like is cheap ass casual software that's pumped out to make use of these gadgets when a traditional controller would have done a better job. The entire gaming landscape is now being more and more dominated by casual games and multiplayer games and I really hate this trend. The real gamers like myself will eventually be left out in the cold so the companies can cater to all of the 12-year-old and grandma johnny-come-latelys.

I completely agree. Too much shovelware being put out trying to make a quick buck instead of making a quality game.The wii was the downfall. After its success Sony and Microsoft had to follow. I am interested in the Sony Move because I do think they will also have games that appeal to the "hardcore" gamers too. Plus it is so much more accurate than the wii , it will be more immersive for those games. On the other hand, I don't see how the Kinect can appeal to hardcore gamers. To me it seems strictly for casual gamers.

Also with the online options on the PS3 it opens up more possibilities than the wii. Playing Move games online with friends, downloading independent games from PSN, etc.
 
I'm so ready to get home and play. Damn this is a long day. I ordered from Amazon yesterday afternoon. I just tracked my package and it has been delivered ! Great service !

Also if anyone is interested you can get $20 off two Move controllers from Gamestop.com.
Add 2 move controllers to your cart and then use the coupon code 20DOWN to get the $20 off. one of the best deals i have found.
 
Is it true you have to recalibrate the controllers between every mini-game? That would suck if that's true.

How does it respond in a brightly lit room / sunlight?
 
Don't really care about the PS move,what they should do is put backwards compatibility back into the PS3 instead of developing an adapter to do the same thing which will be extremely overpriced most likely.

Personal Opinion but I would rather HD remakes of the best PS2 games available for download on PSN!

They just announced the other day a HD remake of ICO and Shadow of the Colossus similar to the God of War collection HD remake.
 
it kind of goes without saying, that this is a complete blatant rip-off of the wii.

This is one of those things that really gets to me. The PS3 and the Wii were launched at the same time. While the Wii relied upon the motion control as it's sales pitch, the PS3 has had the same capabilities.

If the PS3 would have been marketed as a motion controller system it would have been squashed by the Wii. Instead of using that they went with the blu ray as their driving force. They saw the huge success of the Wii and designed a new controller to take advantage of the motion capability they already had in their system. Are they "stealing" a nintendo idea? not really. The thing is most people don't realize the PS3 has the capabilities it has and just assume they are completely "ripping off" nintendo.

Will I end up getting move? probably. Just because it's nice to have a party games when people are over. Also if it works good for KZ3 it could be a bit of an advantage to use that controller.
 
i'm usually all over new stuff coming out but I think i'll wait a bit to check out the games. although, the preview of the Socom game looked pretty tight.
