PlayStation Wonderbook starts augmenting your reality in November from $39
If you were intrigued about that Wonderbook PlayStation peripheral we saw back at E3, then your curious wait may soon be over. As of November 13th, you'll be able to get your wizardy hands on the accessory for the reasonably magic price of $39.99. This is for the book alone, but there's also a bundle for $79 that includes the Book of Spells game (in collaboration with J.K. Rowling) a Move motion controller and the PlayStation Eye camera. Three other forthcoming titles get a mention too, Diggs: Nightcrawler, BBC's Walking with Dinosaurs and experiences from Disney, set for release some time in 2013. In the meantime, better start saving up the Galleons.

Sony announced a price of $39.99 for the game and Wonderbook peripheral, and a $79.99 bundle which also includes the PlayStation Eye camera and Move motion-control wand.The Wonderbook, announced at this year's E3, uses augmented reality to turn a boring old hardback into a 3D pop-up of, well, wonder. So far only J.K. Rowling's Book of Spells is releasing alongside Wonderbook, but other books/games are scheduled for next year.
Wonderbook: Book of Spells trailer casts an angry letter
To Whom it May Concern,I am shocked and appalled by the recent advertisement I witnessed for Wonderbook: Book of Spells. To begin, I'd like to point out that there are cryptic symbols inside the book and it is against the natural order that a television should decipher such peculiar things for us.It is also wholly inappropriate and unfortunate that, upon utilizing this electronic literature, it should teach children perversion and cannibalism. To strip a man of his clothed dignity and show him in his raw form is unnatural. I also feel, and I believe most would agree with me, that even playfully asking children to eat eyeballs is profane.I humbly request this "Wonderbook" be banned from children's eyes until they are old enough to know better.Yours Truly,Nancy Ulysses Thomas-Smith
Augmented story time: A closer look at Wonderbook: Book of Spells
If you're going to demonstrate Wonderbook, it really should be done in a living room. Or, in Sony's case, in a fake living room set up on the second story of an E3 booth. We joined Sony senior producer George Weising – sitting cross-legged on our fake living room rug, naturally – and got a dose of Harry Potter-infused, Move-enabled virtual magic, courtesy of Wonderbook: Book of Spells.
