Learn all about the PlayStation Move Controller and Camera
The PlayStation Move is Sony's entrance into motion-controlled gaming. Although it was possible for some games to have motion-sensing abilities with the sixaxis or Dualshock 3 controller, the PlayStation Move makes it possible to do things in games that were not possible before. This new piece of technology allows game designers to think of innovative ways to get consumers involved with the game. With this kind of technology, you will be able to place yourself into the game by letting you personally control the character.
Launched in 2010, the PlayStation Move received a lot of positive acclaim. Many reviewers loved how it worked and said that the motion-sensing capabilities were very smooth and accurate. Unlike the Kinect for the Xbox 360, the PlayStation Move uses both a camera and this wand-like device to determine depth, rotation, and all other kinds of movement. To allow for easy movement in a game like a first person shooter, there is also a Navigation controller which you can use, but it is not necessary. In addition, by having a wand-like controller, it is possible to use buttons in games where it seems necessary. The combination of a camera and a controller make the PlayStation Move a strong piece of technology for video games.
Since the device is still pretty new, not many games are available that support it yet. However, by the end of 2011, a large amount of games should be available and ready to use. Some games that are launching that will support the PlayStation Move are SOCOM 4, and Sorcery. Some current games that support this new controller are Heavy Rain, PlayStation Move Heroes, Killzone 3, and Sports Champions. Whether you are a casual gamer or a hardcore gamer, the PlayStation Move has plenty of games for you to play with.
If the PlayStation Move sounds like something interesting for you, then you may want to give it a shot. You can find many of these devices at any place that sells PlayStation 3s and PS3 accessories. Therefore shops like GameStop, Best Buy, Walmart, and Target are some great places to check out. The price for the PlayStation Move is $99 for the bundle (comes with one game, the camera, and the Move controller), $49 for the Move controller, $29 for the Navigation controller, and $399 for the PS3 + Move Bundle. These prices are great because they are not too expensive when compared to a regular PS3 controller.
