I have a cam and may look for a lovely cheap light sixaxis for the second controller

I'd pre-ordered one of each controller from ShopTo after posting about them on the other page and they've just emailed to say they've reduced the prices.

They've knocked ?6 off the Motion Controller (Now ?31:85) and knocked ?5 off the Navigation Controller (Now ?22:85). They've also reduced the RRP to ?34:99 and ?24:99 which from what I remember were ?39:99 and ?29:99.

I've just had that email as well John.

I'll be buying one for Resi 5 Gold and Time Crisis mainly. Should Harminx's Dance Central be released I might get that too.

It's great fun but it doesn't justify the price of Kinect on it's own (whatever it ends up being).

[JP]

I wouldn't mind trying RE5 with Move as I hated the standard controls. Is the Gold edition just the original with DLC or would I specifically have to buy the Gold version?

[Akihabara]

I played quite a lot Move over the last couple of days and I must say I was surprised how well it responded. You really have to try this before you can have an opinion about it. Same goes for Kinect by the way...

Indeed, you are correct Mr Akihabara.

[yesteryeargames]

why does the starter disc only come with the £49.99 deal

what if someone has the eye cam and only needs the controller and disc

[Family Fry]

ALL the starter disc content will be on PSN day 1, for those who want it.

JPN Promo Video

[JP]

According to C&VG there's been a hands on session in London with Ubisoft's R.U.S.E which is now Move compatible.

Using the Move device as a pointer, players can select units, build structures and pan the camera.

Selecting an area on the map and pointing the controller down zooms the camera in. Pointing upwards moves the camera out. A flick to the right brings up a menu on the left hand side of the screen. Another flick takes you out of the menu.

"I wasn't sure if it was just going to be a gadget," Girard said, "but it turns out it's a very cool and natural controller. We're very excited about it."

Girard reckons using Move to play the game provides "the most enjoyable experience", but admits using a mouse and keyboard to interact with the PC version is "the most efficient".

Unfortunately for Xbox 360 owners, there are no plans to support Kinect. Girard said the stumbling point was having to play standing up while using Microsoft's rival motion-sensing tech.

I remember that Sony demonstrated the controller with a basic RTS game a while back and I can imagine that if it be a bonus for this genre of game although I can see issues for people with smaller screens.

They've not released any videos of the game being payed yet but it's easy enough to imagine how it could working looking at this promo video from a few months back.

It is a wonder how Nintendo haven't sued. It is identical right down to the nunchuck!

[Number45]

Sue for what exactly? The only way they would be able to sue (See: countless other lawsuits around control devices) is if Sony had directly ripped off the technology, which they haven't done.

[JP]

You can't really sue people for using a clearly different technology, well you can do but you're not going to get very far if you try.

The Wii controller uses technology such as accelerometers & infra red that has been around for many, many years and these technologies in no way belong to Nintendo. By the same definition other companies could sue Nintendo because the Wii uses things such microchips and plastic.

There does seem to be a similar use of the technologies that Nintendo are using but Sony seem to be doing a better job if it if people who have tried both are to be believed.

It's probably worth remembering that there was investigation into suing Nintendo by Midway due to Nintendo using similar technology to this.
