Sony to talk 'a lot more' about motion controller at Develop Conference

Nice. Looks like a promising 2010 release

Bring on the purple vibrator!

psp titles? =/

Saweet. I'm looking forward to hearing more about the device. I feel that the media is overlooking it somewhat, with Natal being praised and cuddled. Gaming is three things: you, a controlling device, and the screen. I don't like when two of those are used as one.

Cool. Hopefully this will mean helping 3rd parties have an easier time with PS3 (and PSP) development.

I'm not thrilled about Natal or this.. But at least with Natal, you can pretend to be a PreCrime agent and swish through menus with your hand.

they got something good going for this it just depends how they execute it. Like every other "cool" perhipheral they made they always do a horrible job pushing it out to the public.

With the Ps3 price drop rumored to be coming around sooner or later, id consider a few options.

- First off eliminate that 120gb sku or change it, its pointless really they should make the higher priced sku and include
The Motion control
One DS controller
The Eyetoy,
HDMI cable (yes they're not that expensive nowadays)
A Game that motion control will be compatible with(something similar to what we saw in E3 with higher production values prefably.)

Since the eyetoy will have a microphone, that should resolve the headset issue by speaking into the camera instead of putting on that stupid mic(also assuming that we will get an ingame chat feature and party system). assuming a MSRP of $399.99 (after eventual price drop)

Then make a cheaper sku 80gb include
a USB headset(if they want to really get fancy a bluetooth headset)
an HDMI cable
One DS Controller
Final Fantasy 7 for PS1 voucher?
the system can be the optional unit for people who don't care for the gimmick and have the OPTION to not use it this one can go for an MSRP $299.99

i think if they did something like that it could help push the "motion controller" and also encourage a more active network(also assuming they manage to get the price point lower and party + chat system on the go).

I am betting that a lot of people do not have the PS3eye. So pulling a number out of my arse, I would say that the PS3eye 50 bucks, one Wand 30 bucks. Wand with analog stick because we know you need something to move around within the environment. Basically, you end up paying the same thing as a Wiimote and numchuck but you have the additional cost of the Camera. Add motion + to the equation and the Sony solution is about 30 bucks more than the Wii solution.

"we just painted the wii-mote black but we'll still call it original"

there, got that anticipation out of the way for yous

We don't need it.

Sonys motion controller vs Xbox Natal; who will win?

i like Sony's motion controllers. First day buy if they have good software bundled in.

every time i see that screenshot, i cringe. the wrist angle between the onscreen warrior and the real life person doesn't match. the sword is pointing in the wrong direction between the onscreen and the person. for something that claims to be millimeter accurate, it seems like a major faux pas.
