Playstation Move Bundle marked down to $79.99, comes with a $20 Gift Card

Conflicting Gamers - "I was not blown away with the Playstation Move when I played with it at E3 last year. While the controls felt very responsive, the games just seemed lame. When it was released in September, none of the games seemed to impress any of the reviewers. That’s not to say that there isn’t some fun to be had here, and I’m sure in time there will be a definitive Move game that will tempt me into picking it up. I’m not a Killzone fan, but I’ve been hearing VERY good things when playing Killzone 3 with the Move controller."

WOW..what a deal! I think I might have to jump on this!

epicdestroy4720d ago

I've been waiting for a deal like this to get Move... I want to know if it's really worth it though.

MintBerryCrunch4720d ago

if you play games like KZ3 and Socom, its really something different and new in terms of precision and gameplay, you should experience it at least once to see if you like it

im sure Sony will reveal a bunch of move titles at E3 and hopefully a release for Sorcery

AAACE54719d ago

Good deal! Should boost sales significantly, especially for those still on the fence.

Ju4719d ago

Its definitively worth it. Great deal.

LOGICWINS4720d ago (Edited 4720d ago )

Well, it depends. There aren't any games right now that I'd personally consider MUST HAVE Move games, but obvs Sony will announce some great shit at E3. But I also wonder why Best Buy is doing this..could this mean that a permanent price drop is coming soon?

This is a tempting offer...but I'm sure there will be even better deals than this on Black Friday etc. I'd rather just wait to see if theres a game I would ACTUALLY want to buy Move for...and like I said, this could mean that a permanent price drop is coming soon.

ABizzel14720d ago

I'm glad I didn't open my Gamestop Bundle yet. They had it on sale for $75, but $80 with a $20 gift card is even better.

LOGICWINS4720d ago

Hmmm, the fact that Amazon, Best Buy, and Gamestop have the bundle on sale for $80 instead of the regular $100 pretty much confirms that Sony's gunna announce a price drop soon OR that they'll start including the Nav controller in the regular $100 Move bundle.

ABizzel14720d ago

$100 is a tough sell for a me too version of the Wii, even if it's technically better. Sony should have launched this bundle for $60 if they really wanted to compete. That would have got the message across. The bundle is basically a Wii Sports/ Wii Play Bundle which cost $50, and now they even have the new Motion Plus controller bundled with some block game for $30 (it's not Boom Blox).

Even if it does come with the PS Eye (which has been out forever) they should have just launched it at $60, more people would have been willing to adopt it early, compared to $100.

Your Logic Seems about right, and I might as well buy it and wait to see what happens after E3.

Jack-H4720d ago

Nice try Sony.... jp I love yous guys

RavageX4719d ago

I wish they would hurry up and do a medieval style game. Gladiators and Archery from Sports Champions has painted a promising future with that style of game with Move.

Swords, shields, bows and arrows, crossbows, magic, dragons, etc.

Just imagine an rpg-style game via move. Hell, let it scan your face and you can appear in cutscenes.

Why has this not been done yet? No, instead everyone wants to use guns...come on, ppl should be SICK of that by now.

gypsygib4719d ago

Move is amazing with Killzone 3. The learning curve is huge but it makes me never want to play a FPS with analogs again - my k/d has never been higher. I hope Sony really pushes Move on devs for BF3, MW3, ect.

But aside from Killzone 3, Move has no games.

Air Conflicts: Secret Wars - PlayStation Move's Best Kept Secret

Air Conflicts: Secret Wars debuted in 2011, and later updated for modern consoles. However, it's the PlayStation 3 edition that stands out.

Why the PlayStation Move Failed

Sony's PlayStation Move may not have been able to contend with Nintendo's Wii, but it paved the way for PlayStation VR's success story.

SullysCigar950d ago

I use them most days and have for years 🤷🏻‍♂️

They're definitely way past a needed update, but I've got a tonne of fun out of them, so they haven't failed me.

bouzebbal950d ago

The best motion control platform it's so intuitive.. Died due to lack of support from Sony.. It had some amazing games

thorstein950d ago

They are used constantly for PSVR games. So, no they haven't failed. Neither has PSVR (or VR in general.)

Bigman4k950d ago (Edited 950d ago )

The article was talking about why it ps move failed before psvr came along

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH950d ago

It failed because it sucked plain and simple.

LOGICWINS950d ago

I feel that's a bit harsh. To this day, playing Killzone 3's campaign with PS Move/Sharpshooter gun combo is the most fun/immersive experience I've ever had with an FPS.

I think Move was simply not as profitable as Sony wanted it to be, but it didn't "suck".

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH950d ago

It most definitely sucked. You people can act like it was something special all you want but it was horrible. The entire motion control fad was a waste of resources and time. Ever single motion controller besides the Wii failed and is no longer being used today in gaming. It's ok to admit it...

Minute Man 721950d ago

@SPEAK

The Move was better that the Wii mote. If the Wii was anywhere accurate as the Move was you could say the Wii was better. Sure it sold boatloads but was it really played consistently??

yeahokwhatever950d ago

I played it in 3D with the move gun on a 100 inch projector and it BLEW MY MIND. I was exhausted, but i finished the campaign standing there.

SullysCigar950d ago

"Ever single motion controller besides the Wii failed and is no longer being used today in gaming"

Just no. Games release most weeks (for years now) that support Move controllers. Some ONLY use Move controllers.

Look, I get you're not a fan, but if you're going to rant, at least inform yourself in advance.

LordoftheCritics950d ago

I would say both Move and Kinect weren't supported properly.

Sony and MS abandoned what could have been amazing.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH950d ago

Kinect sucked too. I would say Kinect may have been cool had it worked as intended but it was ahead of it's time. Both Kinect and Move are gimmicks nothing more. I honestly don't see why Sony still implements "motion controls" recent controllers. Who really uses that crap? And to play what?

Profchaos950d ago

I so t think Sony abandoned the move it's technically repurposed and still supported on the ps5 just for VR

RedDevils950d ago

Kinect should be kept as media interactive features.

LordoftheCritics950d ago (Edited 950d ago )

@SPEAKxTHExTRUTH
Again if it was supported right.

Where even a fast click of my fingers could get an immediate in game response.

It feels trash because we have been shown or lived with bad versions of gesture based tech. Think Minority Report fast. That could be something.

''You people can act like it was something special all you want but it was horrible.''

No one is acting like it was special, I said it could be amazing.

''I think Move was simply not as profitable as Sony wanted it to be''

Like I said, it wasnt supported. Give us a AAA game with precision gestures well implemented into the game and then we can discuss profits.

950d ago
SPEAKxTHExTRUTH950d ago

I don't deal in "what if". It wasn't supported right and even if it was it was still a gimmick.

thorstein950d ago

"Like I said, it wasnt supported. Give us a AAA game with precision gestures well implemented into the game"

You just described every AAA PSVR game. And even the indies have incredible integration. No Man's Sky VR is insanely good.

Silly gameAr950d ago

And, you can act like it was horrible, but I had a blast with my Move. I had the whole collection of House of the Dead, Dead Space Extraction, and RE Darkside Cronicles, The Fight, and Socom 4, and I would play the hell out of those games I even beat a playthrough of the Resistance 3 campaign with the Move. Getting drunk and playing with friends was a freaking blast.

You can pretend that you had a move and played it all you want SPeak the Truth, but it was accurate, and usually on point. I hate when people act like they've played something just to trash it, when they really just have a vendetta, and think the Move is easy prey for your hate.

Minute Man 721950d ago

Wait you can play Dead Space with the Move?? I need it

Orchard950d ago

“You can pretend that you had a move”

I love this crazy idea that if someone has something bad to say about hardware/software - they must be lying about owning it and clearly do not own it!

Because all hardware and software has a 100% approval rating from all purchasers…

P_Bomb950d ago (Edited 950d ago )

Shoot I forgot about Dead Space Extraction and Umbrella Chronicles. Had those too. Still do (digital).

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH950d ago

I have a vendetta against Move? Lmao that's the most ridiculous comment I've read today. I didn't buy it because like I said motion controls are gimmicks. I had a Wii and it was decent enough but a gimmick although successful. I had a Kinect and it too was trash. Don't act as if you know what I have and haven't owned. Move was nothing more than a Wiimote ripoff

yeahokwhatever950d ago

SO MANY really great experiences for the Move. The Fight was excellent!

Silly gameAr950d ago (Edited 950d ago )

@Minute Man

There was a game called Dead Space Extraction that you could play the Move with.

@Orchard. Please don't reply to me, because every time I say something to you, I magically end up restricted. So, just ignore me like I ignore you, so there will be no hurt feelings, please.

"Ever single motion controller besides the Wii failed and is no longer being used today in gaming. It's ok to admit it..."

That is demostrably false.... Most VR games have motion controls and the PSVR uses the Move controllers.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH950d ago (Edited 950d ago )

VR games have a controller most of the time not some magic wand. And VR is not the same as PS move or Kinect. I'm not a fan of VR either. A controller and a couch is all I need for my gaming needs.

Vanfernal950d ago

@SPEAKxTHExTRUTH

"And VR is not the same as PS move or Kinect."

PSVR LITERALLY uses the Move controllers. Now it's just obvious you have no idea what you're talking about. You're saying Move failed and nobody uses it anymore when it's an integral part of PSVR and is still being used in 2021.

ScootaKuH950d ago

It didn't suck. It worked but the games just weren't there, that's why it failed.

Father__Merrin950d ago

The move was excellent it was 1 to 1 precise time crisis was a joy to play aswell as sports champions it didn't hit mainstream as it was an addon unlike Nintendo wiimote

Lack of games that proved the concept that 3rd parties could then copy en masse?

Silly Mammo950d ago

I wish that someone would have made a proper boxing game. I still have a blast with the Sports Champions boxing, but to have a boxing game that was more in-depth would have been awesome.

Dario_DC949d ago

Try Creed for PSVR, it's brilliant

OMGitzThatGuy950d ago

Because it was a uninspired ripoff of the Wii controller without the Nintendo library to back it and didn't try to put any real effort into development such as getting their top developers to make games for it and instead gave tech demos disguised as games to their least talented developers so the best can focus on single player only games.

Ryushaa950d ago

Except the Move was an idea roughly implemented in the PS2. Yes, I'm serious.
Just search on youtube: PlayStation 2 - Motion Controller (2004)

Nonetheless, just like the whole Wii, it was more of a gimmick than a proper input evolution in games.

jukins950d ago

Exactly. Its funny time and time again sony is the first innovate. Often at its own peril. Like your example the move started on ps2 taken advantage of by nintendo. Sony buys gakai for game streaming only for other companies to overtake them.

Profchaos950d ago

Are you talking about the gametrak on os2 which used strings to track your hand position I used to have this and a gold game it was awesome but the game itself sucked if it had integration with tiger woods or something it would be way better the tracking was excellent even back then as it wasn't using guesswork.
However the game was very forgiving and no way to turn it harder and no licensed players or courses hurt it.

yeahokwhatever950d ago

99% of the Wii's games were "shovelware", in fact, I think thats what started that phrase..

EvertonFC950d ago

Socom, killzone, resistance and tiger wood 14 were great with the move but agree lacked more games.

yeahokwhatever950d ago

There were plenty of games and I'm glad that not every game became a Move game.

These PS3 Games are Going to get Really Expensive

Could you get rich by investing in PS3 games? Almost definitely not. Can you make a few bucks by flipping PS3 games over the years? Yeah, sure! It wouldn’t even be that difficult. But let’s face it: Once these games are in your collection, you’re probably keeping them forever.

CDbiggen953d ago

There's a reason I didn't buy most of these when they came out.

MadLad953d ago

After a game's multiple generations old, and can't be had new at a reasonable price, that's when I see nothing wrong with emulation.

What's the point of paying someone scalper prices when the dev/publisher isn't even benefiting from it?

mkis007953d ago

Emulation doesn't stop a games physical box from becoming collectible.

Knightofelemia953d ago

I paid $30 for SH Downpour on PS3 now it's around $70-$85 Canadian Lolipop Chainsaw I paid $15 and it has really gone up in price. I wonder if Transformers War and Fall of Cybertron will go up in price two of the best Transformers games every made.

neutralgamer1992953d ago

In 5 years time all those games will be worth at least $150 to $200 that you listed

953d ago
neutralgamer1992953d ago

Ever since Sony announced that they would shut down PS3 store these prices have skyrocketed and even though Sony backtracked now most gamers realize that it's a matter of time before the PlayStation 3 store is shut down. If you want these games get them while you can even if digital because once that story shut down the physical prices will just go crazy high we saw that already

And many of these games did not sell like crazy amounts so they are limited number of copies available for sale at any given time

MadLad953d ago

Folklore is a game I've always really wanted to play, but I got a PS3 late in the generation, and it was already really expensive to find, being it didn't exactly sell well, therefore was already kind of a collector's item.

Kept hoping I'd find a cheap copy randomly at stores and flea markets, but never happened.

franwex953d ago

I got mine for $5 at Walmart like 10 years ago. I have yet to play it.

neutralgamer1992953d ago

It was available at GameStop for a while for under $20. Don't know har happened but GameStop started to sell their used games based on ebay prices it seems

You can still find it for around $60-70 and which in my opinion is a good price for a game that will be worth double if not triple that in next 5 years

Mr Logic953d ago

Have you considered modding your PS3? Neither Sony or the dev would be getting money from that Folklore purchase. Kind of a victimless crime at that point.

MadLad953d ago (Edited 953d ago )

@neutral

Honestly, I just want to actually give the experience a try. I'm not someone who would buy it at a premium just to potentially rip someone off down the road.
I mean, there are collectors out there and if paying a couple hundred dollars is worth it to them then more power to them, but I'm not one to be on either end of that exchange.

I know it's taboo, but I might dig in and see the state of PS3 emulation on PC. I have a good PC, so it might be able to power through the often times poor performance, being PS3 is known to be hard to emulate.

I've never emulated anything past the PS2/Dreamcast but, as I said in my first post, I don't see anything wrong with emulation if the game you want to play can only be had used, with no money going to the creators.
