Sony’s Peter Dille said the bundle will include the game Sports Champions; that bundle will also be paired with a PS3 at $US399.99 The Move’s navigation controller is sold separately for $US29.99.
Dille said first-party PlayStation Move titles will be priced at $US39.99, and there will be between 15-20 Move-enabled titles at its launch, with at least 40 available by the Christmas.

Wednesday, June 16, 2010 at 9:40 AMThat pricing looks about right to me, I think I’d be picking this up for my PS3 before shelling out for the Kinect for my 360, I already have the eye so I’m glad they are selling the controllers separately.
A good couple of months before the Kinect too, I wonder if MS will move there launch forward now?

The Kinect (if true) at $150 allows 4 players… doesn’t seem so expensive now when you factor in the multiplayer quotient which is a big push on this demographic anyway…

Wednesday, June 16, 2010 at 1:08 PMI wanna check them both out and I wanna buy them both – but I still ain’t all for Motion control gaming cause half of the crap released for both is gonna be stupid party games that are ‘fun’ for a hour or less.
In the Kinect’s defence, you are only buying ONE thing minus the games. If someone wanted the PS Move, they need to buy the normal bundle AND then the Navigation controller.
I gather MORE controllers if wanted to play with numerous people. A bundle WITH a console may come with more than 1 controller. Now since we don’t know the AUS price yet, we can’t exactly judge that much cause we are mainly wrong when guessing from the US price. It can be MUCH more or surprisingly less.
I haven’t read an article based on the Kinect’s price in AUS if it was announced. But to it’s defence, you are only buying one thing before the games. However – looking at the games, I might have to say i’m more excited at playing games on the PS Move than Kinect – but some of the tech with Kinect and what IS going to be and COULD be available over XBL etc… looks great aswell.

Wednesday, June 16, 2010 at 3:03 PMYou could pay a whole lot of money for a PS3 or X box 360 and get move or kinect. Or, you could just buy a wii for a whole lot cheaper price. And the wii has motion controls already built in. Hmm… nice move… NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
