Sony PlayStation Move launch details get official: $99 for the bundle, hits North America September 17th

Jun 15th 2010 8:07PM (Engadget)
Fanboys are out in full force today. Everyone seems to think they know how much Move actually costs, but they all forget that the PS3 supports only 7 connected bluetooth devices. So you will not see a game with 4 players that have a controller in each hand. Most will have 2 player that supports a controller in both hands.

If you're comparing it to the Wii (which I just bought last week and spent more on controllers than the console), you've got games that require wiimotes, nunchuks, and classic/gamecube controllers in different combinations. That adds up really fast.

And then there's Kinect. It's a great piece of technology, and I'm sure I could have some fun with it. But, it's lacking severely in the core games department. Also, I have yet to see anything demoed with more than 2 people playing at once.

Motion control games that support more than 2 players are usually the sports/party type games with pass-the-controller situations, so most people are not going to go out and buy the maximum number of controllers possible just because the system may support it.

Stop being ridiculous, people.

Why don't my comments go where they're supposed to?

My above comment was meant to go to the first thread, but I guess Joystiq sent it down here for a reason.

The most controllers you will need are 6: 4 Move controllers & 2 navigation. Many people already own a PSEye. If not, that's what the bundles are for.

If people don't know how to use the internets to find deals on video games and accessories, then I feel sorry for them.

@L0sther0

The cost won't be that high due to the PS3 only supporting 7 bluetooth devices at once. This was covered awhile ago, so the most you'll see is 2 players with 2 controllers each, or 4 players with 1 each. I know the costs still add up as I just got a Wii last week, but I certainly won't mind paying because there will be excellent content to play.

P.S. Joystiq: comment system still needs work

@Nadril Kinect doesn't sound like something I'd want my upstairs neighbors to even think of purchasing.
