Sony Computer Entertainment has announced PlayStation Move as the official name for its PS3 motion controller.
Unveiled during the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco, the peripheral will be available in the autumn.
Move will be priced at $100 (£66) in the US and come in a variety of bundles, including a package deal comprising the PlayStation Eye camera and a game. It will be compatible with a number of games, from shooters to family titles.
Upcoming games to feature the technology include Sports Champions, Move Party and Motion Fighters. Existing games such as LittleBigPlanet and Eye Pet will also incorporate the device.
A sub controller similar to the Nintendo Wii's nunchuk will allow for additional control options in games such as shooters. Sony revealed that SOCOM 4 will utilise the controller's motion capabilities for camera control, while the sub controller is responsible for character movement.
Additionally, Sony has promised latency equal to that of its DualShock 3 controller and third party support from almost every major publisher.
I was about to post this but then the United highlights from last night came on the tv so I watched those (again) instead :)
I very rarely use my PS3 and as everyone knows, i'm not a fan of motion control in gaming so not much point in getting this, same goes for the probably worse Natal, though like Neato mentioned elsewhere, the idea of controlling the dash, Minority Report style, is pretty cool :)

I call "dibs" on the pink one! ;D
Didn't I read somewhere that the color is set by the game? any controller can display any color.
Neato's got pink. I'll take blue or yellow. :)
I'm sure I'll buy it, regardless of if its useful or not ;D

The PlayStation Move Won't Wear A Condom
(http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/9/2010/05/500x_movecondom.jpg)
For most of its life, the Nintendo Wii Remote has been sheathed in rubber, its native form factor obscured over fears of death and destruction. Sony's Move controller, on the other hand, will breathe the free air.
Raising the prospect of smashed TVs with Sony Computer Entertainment's studio boss, Shuhei Yoshida replied "What's good about the sphere is that it's very, very robust. It's much more robust in terms of protection for the controller and people around it because it's soft. So we don't need a sleeve."
Famous last words, Shuhei. The Move is out later this year in the US, and if Americans are known for one thing, it's lawsuits.
I dunno if it vibrates and any ladies want to use it as a toy they probably should put a rubber on it so it doesn't get damaged by vag fluid 8)

Oh, Sony. You're so dirty.
PlayStation Move gets slick website
Pictures, dev diaries and launch game media for your perusal
Sony has opened the doors to the official PlayStation Move website, where you can poke around for all the info and images of the motion-sensing controller you could want.
The site promises Sony will "take core gaming to a new level or bring your whole family in on the adventure with a title line-up that will excite every gamer."
We must say we're currently more excited about the potential of the device than the current line-up of launch games, but we're hoping more will come out of E3.
The site also dons a list of games which link through to their own homepages, including: Move Party, Motion Fighter, Sports Champions, The Shoot, TV Superstars and Brunswic Pro Bowling. Those are the dedicated Move games, but it also lists Socom 3, EyePet and Toy Story 3 as games that'll use the DualShock 3 with optional Move support.
With the inevitable crossover between Wii and Move, Sony has said it won't stop conversions but won't tolerate lazy ports.

If I had a ps3......I would still not buy it :) I only want Natel for Milo

Milo will never be released, it was just a bad tech demo showing fake tech, just like Sony's famous Killzone 2 vid a few years ago.
Move will be released in September, two month headstart on Kinect.
PlayStation Move priced and dated
Sony has announced that PlayStation Move will go on sale in Europe on 15th September.
As announced at E3, the PS3 motion controller will be sold in a bundle that includes one Move, one PlayStation Eye and a starter disc - and that bundle will cost €59.99.
Move will also be sold separately for €39.99, while the Navigation Controller (originally called the Sub-Controller) will cost €29.99.
The PlayStation Eye itself will cost €29.99.
PlayStation Move will be flanked at launch by 16 titles, with 40 more due to hit in the Christmas period.
First-party Move titles include Sorcery, SingStar Dance, Heroes on the Move (working title), SOCOM 4, Heavy Rain Move Edition, echochrome ii, EyePet, Sports Champions, Tumble and Beat, while third parties are offering up Resident Evil: Gold Edition, Time Crisis: Razing Storm, Toy Story 3 and Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11.
There will also be two other accessories at launch - the shooting attachment and charging station. The former allows you to hold Move horizontally like a gun and will cost €14.99, while the latter is what it sounds like and costs €29.99.
Sony made the announcement at its E3 press conference in Los Angeles yesterday.
First time i've seen this, the ending of the vid was shown during Sony's E3 intro yesterday.
;D
It looks stupid and I can't even see the picture but I bet its not as cool as Kinect ;)

It's Wii-HD, which I welcome. If the Wii didn't look like a hot pixilated mess on my HDtv, I'd probably play it more often.

E3 2010: PS Move: Ball is 'crucial', Sony says
Why does that ball change colour so much? Sony explains...
PlayStation Move's colourful light "ball" is "crucial" for making the device work, Sony's told CVG.
Speaking to CVG's hitman at E3, EyeToy creator and SCE senior researcher, Richard Marks revealed some of the sorcery that goes on inside the PlayStation Move to make it so accurate.
It's all about the ball, apparently: "It's really, really crucial," Marks said. "It's crucial for many reasons because it's like a marker. We know exactly where it is. It's a light so it's really easy to find it and it can change colour."
Marks explained that the reason the device changes colour so often is so that it stands out from everything in your surrounding area. "So for example if you happen to have a bright pink wall behind you it'll change colour so it can be tracked better," he explained.
Clever stuff. "But how does it know?" we hear you type. "The PlayStation Eye looks at all the pixels," Marks continues. "It says 'Oh, there's a bunch of magenta pixels - don't use that colour, use a different one', and it picks a colour that won't conflict.
"We have full control over the light - there are 360 different hues it can track."
So there you have it, another piece in the magical mystery that is complete one-to-one movement.
E3 2010: Sony: 'We dont want Move in all PS3 games'
Some experiences are better suited to DualShock, says EyeToy creator
Sony doesn't want developers to "force" Move on games where it doesn't make sense, SCE senior researcher and EyeToy creator, Richard Marks told our man at E3.
When asked if he wanted to see every PS3 game from now on support Move, Marks said the motion controller's only one of multiple input devices supported by the platform holder.
He said: "I don't want that to happen. I love the Move but it's not the only controller on our platform. We have a great controller already - the DualShock - and some experiences are supposed to be used with that.
"A new set of experiences that use more special input - that's what's good for the Move. So I think our first-party will always continue to court both controllers."
He added: "I do not want to see somebody just force the Move on to a game that it doesn't make sense for."
Resi 5, Socom Move controls shown in videoSee motion controls working smoothly in PS3 shootersBelow are a couple of IGN videos that show off the PlayStation Move controller working pretty nicely with Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition and Socom 4.
Both games use a similar control system, with the main Move unit handling aim which the Navigation controller (Sony's Nunchuk) does movement.
Resi 5 is already out and will receive a free title update when Move is released in September to support the controller. Socom 4 on the other hand has been purpose-built for Move, and will be out in autumn.
Move is coming to the EU on September 15, the US on September 19 and Japan on September 25. It will be $49.99 alone and an additional Navigation Controller will be $29.99. More pricing and bundle details here (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=251803).

No game with the UK bundle, just a 9 game demo disc, typical Sony.
I'm not interested in Move so I guess it doesn't matter. :)

The Complete Playstation Move Compendium (http://kotaku.com/5626467/the-complete-playstation-move-compendium)
http://www.yaybuttons.com/
Yay Buttons is top, because it says PEW PEW halfway through.
I don't like the look of kinect, but i like the look of Wave less. tis all Wiimitations.
Yay buttons are important, so why bother sticking them on a wand when you already have them on your dual shock? Oh but wait, look at resi 5 with move, it's so realistic. You hold your 'gun' down by your side to shoot! Just like real life eh?! ??? You shake it to reload! ??? If you wanna slash somebody with your knife, you shake it! ??? It's just so realistic! Fair enough with kinect you don't actually hold anything at all, but at least it tracks your actual body movements and your hands and arms have to be in an actual shooting position. It Would be cool if they brought out a plastic gun with a trigger and stuff for kinect so you could actually hold something or plastic rackets, golf clubs, steering wheels etc like they did with the wii, but even if that never happens the tech is still way better than move. If sony are trying to convince people that a device with full body tracking and speech and facial recognition is crappy (which they are) then they aren't doing a very good job of it, in my experience even people who aren't interested in getting kinect mostly agree that the tech looks really good. Even if i had a ps3 after just seeing the move in action there is no way i would buy it.
Spoken like a true fanboy. :P
PlayStation Move ad poster banned
See that poster there at the bottom of the page? The one advertising PlayStation Move? It's been banned.
The ad received eight complaints that the imagery showed graphic violence, which could be seen as encouraging violent behaviour and deeming it unsuitable for children, reports Campaign (via Kotaku).
Two of the complainants mentioned the game player was white and the computer character being tackled was black, and said the ad might be seen to condone racist violence.
Sony responded by saying the poster was supposed to advertise the controller, not a game.
It also claimed to have "taken steps to ensure that the images were not graphic" and that they did not target or feature children within them.
The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) disagreed, and upheld complaints the images in the ad were likely to "condone or encourage violent behaviour," which could cause serious offence to the viewing public and that it was unsuitable for children. It has now been banned.
It did not, however, accept the complaint that the images were depicting a racist attack. The ASA said that while the men featured had "slightly different skin tones," the ad was unlikely to be seen as condoning racist violence.
