@admlshake There's always some perv commenting on here?! Give me a break. I don't want to hear about your mom using PlayStation's controller like that...
I must say, not too shabby. But I'll stick with my 80 GB PHATBOI for now. I'm not sure about the Move, and I'm not a big fan of motion-controller gaming (and I bought a Wii before the PS3, played it for a year, and then I had a PS3).
@Tothamax you actually played your wii for a year? I got bored with mine in a month....
@jshuby Yeah, I had to wait until October 2008 to get my PS3. The Wii was a Christmas gift. Now my sister plays the Wii, but I might get some titles for and start playing it again.
I think the move is going to advance the way we interact with video games in a big way. This is a stepping stone.
@Metacognition
Really? Cause, Nintendo did it like 4 years ago, and Sony did the EyeToy in 2003. The Wii was a big seller, but because of it's casual approach, and the EyeToy could be considered a failure by some. Putting them together isn't exactly gonna be a "Hey, you got your peanut butter in my jelly, you got your jelly in my peanut butter" kind of moment for gaming.
@techee44
its peanet butter in my chocolate...noob
@techee44
Exactly the wii blew up. People liked it but move and kinect improve on the wiis shortcomings (graphics, accuracy, response time) its going to be a more immersive experience. I don't care if it doesn't Set the gaming world on fire. I just hope it will open new doors for a more realistic, immersive and fun future for gaming. The wii began it and sony & microsoft will run with it
@techee44 Don't go telling me no one has ever called you stupid because that's impossible.
While the PS3 is a nice-looking system, that box design is really unprofessional.
Then again, this obviously isn't a US version because the text is in English and French rather than English and Spanish. (And could the person stocking the grocery items in my supermarket PLEASE turn the boxes around so that the English side of the product is facing me. There are next to NO Spanish-speaking people in Northern New England!)
@NHAnimator They speak French in Canada too.
@NHAnimator
I recommend you go rant at your bagger about putting things in the bag with the English text facing you.
I doubt posting that here will help at all.
In fact, since you despise Spanish so much why don't you get a Sharpie, go to your grocery store, and proceed to black out all offending languages.
You freaking twit.
Hey you keep on saying that the move is way better than Kinect and that " it's a new gaming experience " . Well just remember two things : Kinect has no controller ! In fact , YOU are the controller !
And trust me , microsoft are not the ones who ripped off the Wii with a wireless nunchuk and a wii remote with a light bulb on top. You'll realize this when you " accidentally " drop your Move flashlight thing and see how the light bulb thing shatters . You don't see the Kinect's controller's shattering .. Oh wait .. there is no controllers ! :)
@KBoutros I don't keep saying that at all :(
@KBoutros , if sony riped off niny, then ms riped off sonys eyetoy...... I for one am happy to see any company take something(even if someone made something simalar) and make it better.
@Irondog oh yeah ? well u said tht move is a better version of the wii , well kinect is a better version of the EyeToy :)
@KBoutros Sony Chart: You need Controllers: Kinect -> no, Move -> yes
oh and please don't remind me of that EyeToy thing , Kinect is a whole new advanced idea. and let me remind you about the two consoles' release dates : Xbox 360 : November 22 , 2005 / PS3 : November 11 , 2006 . so there's no need of telling you who ripped off the xbox 360 controllers with the triggers and the menu button and the Player Lights around the menu button . Seriously Sony , you call those triggers ?
@KBoutros Ever heard of the PS2, eh? Released in 1999? It had the EyeToy. The PS Eye is for the PS3. Nice try though.
@KBoutros And where is the player lights around the menu button on the PS3? Please enlighten me.
Sounds like somebody is blinded by Sony hatred.
@KBoutros Wow, you rero.
MOVE ***** Get Out The Way, Get Out The Way ***** Get Out the Way...
With the PlayStation Move Bundle, only $399
Wii did it. I don't really like motion controllers anyway.
I saw the 160 displayed at gamestop last night while walking home from work. Was wondering what was up lol.
I tried the Move out recently at Lollapalooza. Was quite a lot of fun, it was really precise- much more so than the Wii
@ironlung The wii is extremely imprecise even with the motionplus.
I hope that comes to the US. I might buy it and a move bundle.
But what about 802.11n????!!??!?
@Mach
Completely agree. I don't think I'll upgrade my 60GB unless Sony releases a PS3 that has at least 1 rear USB port and 802.11n.
Now give me a white ps3 please
Yes, November, Kinct rocks...
No sub controller 0_o
That's very nice! Too bad they are not offering PS3 in different colors; I have the white/pink Lightning one and it looks so pretty! A little variety never hurts...
@dablemont only colorware and earl shive can do that
The release of GT5 is imminent (Nov 2nd) so I need a console, but I think I'll opt for 20GB which are hard to find but not impossible and hardware compatible. The only question is do I give up my PS2 slim which is hardly used (but played) mint condition for which I will not get more than $50 credit for or just keep it and get a new PS2 Slim? HD space is only a value to people not willing to open their PS3's and add more HD space.
@dj4monie
There might be a 160Gb GT5 PS3 bundle in November.
@xsgamer I have heard that rumor, thanks I kinda forgot...
To be honest I think either way you go whether it's the kinect or the move, it's an upgrade from the wii. Between the frequent connection drops between the wii and its controllers and the annoying calibrating when using the motion plus, it's a catastrophe. The wii as a whole is just one piece of overhyped shit.
Ohhhhh! So the Playstation Move will have Wii Colors and Branding.....
I was wondering why it didn't look like a PS3 box at all...
Typical Sony... Identity Crisis.. this is them appealing to 'children'
Sounds like a pretty good deal to me.
Good product bundling system
Any words on when these console bundles will come to Australia? The Move controller bundle here sucks! They don't even include a full copy of Sport Champions, just a Demo disc.
wow nice bundle. 320gb is masive, it would be nice to see microsoft release a hard drive this size for the 360. these gaming consoles storage options are getting bigger and bigger, i can't wait for the 'standard' size to surpass 1TB. you can never have to much storage ;)
movebrator??...nah too insinuating...lets just say move. And so was the name born for Sony s new vibrator, I mean controller.
