Playstation Move Holiday Lineup

So you might be wondering what's on tap for PS Move this Holiday season- the answer? Not really anything that you haven't seen already.

The only thing that hasn't been released yet is a title called Playstation Move Heroes, a game that features Jak & Dakster, Ratchet & Clank, and Sly Cooper taking on multiplayer challenges as well as a mish-mashed group of their respective villains.

Actually sounds neat, but we won't be seeing it until "early 2011". The rest of the stuff is all already available at your local 'lectronics shop.

Third Party PS Move Controllers Emerge From Snakebyte

Front

Soft Underbelly...

Hot on the heels of their announcement of their new, third party, Wii balance board, peripheral maker Snakebyte has announced the first third party Move controllers and PSEye camera. They have rubberized shells which is pretty cool and come with USB charging cables and have been made with updatability in mind- since we all know Sony does system updates every- what -five minutes?

All three, Move wand, navigation controller, and Snakeye camera (that's just a plain old cool name), will be available seperately or in different bundle packs and will be "priced aggressively". Sounds good. The whole line should be available to take home Q1 2011- pricing is yet to be determined but it certainly sounds like they'll be less expensive than the first party stuff.

Snakeye!

We'll update as we get more info-

Sony's new motion controller dubbed 'Move'- out this fall

*Here's the link for the press conference. Not embedding for some reason- sorry everybody.

The Move just seems like a re-tread of the Wiimote, complete with a nunchuck like 'sub-controller'. On the plus side, the Move seems to be a bit more advanced than the Wiimote but otherwise is very, very, similar.

There will be a stand alone unit offered as well as a bundle pack that includes the PS Eye and a game. The Eye is necessary to use the Move. If you have one already, you're set to go- if you don't, this is the pack for you. There will also be a system pack offered that includes everything mentioned above and, I imagine, will take the place of the sku's on the shelves now. Why sell PS3's without the Move? Makes no sense.

The bundle is going to retail for $99, which a little high since I doubt that a lot of PS3 owners have a PS eye to begin with and this will probably be the most popular of the offerings. I think the Move needed to come in at $50 max. It's just not interesting enough to clock in at that hundred buck price point with the first games looking as incredibly generic as they do- although it should be mentioned that Little Big Planet will incorporate Move controls as well
