Playstation Move pricing a joke!

[chickenplucka]

SO EB have the Move available for pre order on their site at the moment.
The controller will retail for $69.95, the navigation controller will be $49.95 and the PLaystation Eye (if you don't already own one) will cost $59.95.
The retail value for the Move, to have it set up for 1 player is $179.95 - and it wont even work with most of your games! This is crazy... at least with the Wii you are set up with one full set for motion control and it will work with all of your games...
Kinect is also highly priced with a value of $199 on EBs site, but with that you have the option of playing four players using the one device, so that evens it out dramatically...
To break it down:
To play four players with the wii you will need to invest about $300 as you already have a controller and nunchuck with your console - $420 if you require the motion plus
To play four players with Natal you will need to invest about $200
To play four players with the Move you will need to invest about $500 which is simply outragous!

What are your thoughts on the price of motion controls?

JB HiFi have put down a to be confirmed price of a Move bundle, pricing it at $97.99.

- Move controller(s) (assuming both)
- PSEye Camera
- Game

That's a pretty decent deal to be honest, and I've already got a PSEye.

all the bundles shown at e3 didnt include a navigation controller, but that is slightly better pricing

Fair enough, still better than buying everything separately.

Still probably won't buy it straight away, but I'm not unhappy with the prices.

doesnt really bother me, more then 2 people in front of my tv is cramped enough, so about $200 already have 2 cameras anyway, but only games at the moment im interested in are socom and tiger woods (so just need to both the peripherals)
but yeh it is a bit pricey, maybe if i start selling the games i never play it wont cost me a cent.

Price is pretty much the same as the Wii remote and nunchuck so fine by me.

No one is going to buy a PS3 just for the Move games. Not even Sony expects this.

Its expensive. Its almost a new console or 2-3 new games.

I'll probably give it a miss. I want to try it, but its not something I will use all the time, probably just a few times.

Looks like Kotaku have updated there article, the Sub controler price jumped $20 dollars. Didn't think it was a bad price at first, but thats seem a tad expensive now.
Will have to see what a starter bundle costs and what comes in it before i decide if its worth getting or not.

I will buy this.

the bundle will give me a wiisports like game in HD.

and then I already have RE5 game which will be patched for move.

[LeonJ]

^ That's the only thing that appeals to me. The Dead Space 2 bundle with Extraction.

Other then that, move is a no go.

I've not really been following Move, so apologies, but what is in the Move Navigation controller? Is there anything more to it than the Nunchuk?

The navigation controller is the nunchuck, sony just cant use the word nunchuck.



Standard looking enough with a few buttons, triggers and an analog stick.

Yeah, thats what I thought. $50 for that is absolutely ridiculous then, I already feel that $30 is too much for the Nunchuk as it is. Other prices are ok, I think.

The price is probably driven up by the fact it is wireless and ps3 wireless means bluetooth and probably an internal rechargeable battery.

Also, just did the maths for myself. Four player Move will only cost around $300-$350 for 1x starter kit $100 (assuming JB price is RRP) and 3X Move controllers at $70 a pop. Total $310.

I don't get it, if you find it too expensive locally, why don't you just import it.

Playstation peripherals aren't region locked, look at the dual shock 3 controller, most of you probably imported it at a cheaper price anyway.

I didnt include the price of the navigation control because you cant use it four player. The PS3 can only support up to 7 bluetooth devices at once and sony have already gone on the record to say only that the PS3 will only support a total of 4 move controllers at once, either 4 Move controllers OR 2 Move controllers with 2 navigation controllers. At most, your only going to need 2 navigation controls EVER so a complete move set comes to $410 but if your just purchasing it for some imediate four player action, you only need $310. Also, you can substitute navigation controllers with dualshock controllers if you want to save a bit.

Do not want Move, have to move stuff too much to fit it in.

Thats why I loved the 3Ds most of all at E3, no need to add or move anything in my existing setup (which is already an Onkyo amp, 5.1 speakers, desk, 360, wii, ps3, 40' HDTV, wii sensor bar..... 3 wii controller setups, 2 360 controllers, 3 ps3 controllers, 1 ps3 remote, 1 360 remote, 1 tv remote, 1 amp remote....... it never ends.

There is literally no room left for any hardware. A 3DS would fit nice though.

How do MS and Sony expect us to be adding all this crap to our setups? Bring back minimalism. Less is more.

Here's something that'll make you guys complaining about price slightly happier:

Move Navigation Controller can be replaced by DualShock

No need for 2x $50 add-on controllers for Move

I'm normally quick to jump onto fads but I may wait a while before getting this. However I cannot play Resident Evil games without a motion controller so this will be the only way I play RE5 if I ever do.

I think I'm going to promise myself to wait a year, then see what's on offer. Hopefully either this will come down in price or there will be enough games utilising it to justify a purchase. I want to play Sorcery and RE5 badly though
