PS3 Move Bundle to Come in Two Sizes?

Gamervision reports: "A few weeks back, the PlayStation Blog let slip the details on three different PlayStation Move bundles, assuring that everyone was able to jump into the second wind of this console generation, regardless of where they stood in terms of hardware. Gamers could pick up the controller by itself for $49, get it with a camera and game for $99, or purchase a system, game, and a camera for $399. The last option didn't get any details, at the time, leaving gamers guessing as to what size hard drive it might come with. We've been sent some more information from a source close to Sony that has not only details on the $399 version, but information on an unannounced $349 edition as well."

As of right now, they're selling a 120GB Slim with two Dualshocks and God of War III for the $350, and they're selling the White 320GB Slims in Japan for what would be about $350 in America.

I'm thinking they can make a cheaper Move bundle if they want. If they're thinking about doing that, then it would probably be announced at Gamescom. I swear, if HipHopGamer is right about that 120GB Slim for $200, I'm never doubting him again (second time he would've been right about a PS3 price drop).

dominicm5439d ago

That guy runs his mouth about everything. He said Alan Wake would work with Natal. Seriously, anyone could make stupid predictions EVERY DAY and get a few right.

TheTeam065439d ago

That's not a prediction, but I get what you're saying.

5439d ago
Azianphil885439d ago

is there any chance Alan Wake would go over to the PS3 with move support?
just wondering

WhittO5439d ago (Edited 5439d ago )

$200 for a PS3 is just not going to happen, but maybe $259.99 ?

Over here (UK) a 120gb Slim is about £250, if that dropped to £199 there would be a HUGE surge in sales.

Hellsvacancy5439d ago

My PS3 got the yellow light of death 4 the 3rd time last night (whilst playin Demons Souls) i repaired it myself (for the 3rd time) so im gonna HAV 2 buy a Slim a.s.a.p (Act Swiftly Awesome Pacaderm)

So £199 would b AWESOME, i dont think my present PS3 is gonna last that long though (lasted 5 months the last time) its gonna b a while till Sony drop it 2 that i think

Imperator5439d ago

I think Sony may go for a $50 price drop. Maybe for a $299 GT5 bundle.

sikbeta5439d ago (Edited 5439d ago )

PS3+GT5 @ $300, Don't doubt about it, GT5 will move loads of bundles, the first GT in every gen is bundled to push hardware sales, the next iteration is for pure profit...

O-T

"According to the source (who has, in the past, proven reliable), the $399 version will come with a 320GB hard drive. The $349 version, which may or may not launch at the same time, will come packed with 120GB of space. This goes right alone with previous rumors of the company replacing its 120GB systems with 320GB models, and might mean a $50 price drop for the 120GB PlayStation 3 systems in the near future. That, or they'll just be phased out entirely."

320GB PS3 @ $400
120GB PS3 @ $350 -> assuming this one is the PS3+Move bundle
Current 120GB PS3 "would be" $250

Doesn't make much more sense, people is waiting for a cheaper PS3 and they usually don't care/understand the "Real Value", I'm guessing what Sony would do is Replace the 120GB Models for 250GB Models or slash the price, but that's only going to happen after GT5 release cos this game bundled will sell huge...

HeyImWiiTARDED5439d ago

Probably a price drop on current 250gb and 120gb and the newer 320gb will come out at $299 to compete with Xbox 360's 250gb. Healthy competition is good and at the end, we the consumers/gamers win. If 120gbs are going to be priced at $199($299 including move,camera, and game bundle) as a new sku, they're going to sell like crack !

otherZinc5439d ago

Someone please tell this uninformed Author, that a Move complete to play each game costs more than Kinect.

Also, someone tell this idiot author a full set of Move for 2 players is more than a 360 Kinect Bundle.

This author is so fanboy, his dumb@ss didnt take the time to add things up.

Idiot!

Roonie5439d ago

trying to make other products look more expensive cause your daddy MS charge you $150 buks for an eye-toy 1.2?

Zerogamer5439d ago

So what about the 160gb ps3 that Japan received?

xtremeimport5439d ago

its a small thing, but...they should not advertise on system boxes the system standing unless its bundled with the stand, i just know these casual people wont know and could be something small that pisses them off. I personally think they should have 1. built it on or 2. bundled it from the start.

if the new ps3 goes to 320gb at $299 i will upgrade my current ps3 to one of those and use it for gaming and my old one for family bluray.

HeyImWiiTARDED5439d ago

I just bought a new 120gb slim rev 2.0 like last month...

PlayStation Move Controller Used to Perform Surgery on a Pig That Was 5,780 Miles Away

A group of surgeons made headlines after they managed to perform an endoscopic procedure on a pig located in Hong Kong by using PlayStation controllers. It involved the use of a PS5 DualSense controller as well as a PlayStation Move controller.

jznrpg245d ago

There is at least a few good jokes that could come from that title

Cacabunga244d ago

Yet another powerful device Sony gave up supporting. KZ3 move was one of the best motion controller implementation ever

just_looken244d ago

Right the ps move was awesome i have the gun thing from killzone still.

Relientk77245d ago

That's really cool. It's crazy something like that is possible with gaming controllers 1000's of miles away.

Lexreborn2245d ago

Guess that submarine should’ve used move controllers instead of logitech

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.

SullysCigar1374d 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.

bouzebbal1373d ago

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

thorstein1374d ago

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

Bigman4k1374d ago (Edited 1374d ago )

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

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1374d ago

It failed because it sucked plain and simple.

LOGICWINS1374d 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".

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1374d 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 7211374d 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??

yeahokwhatever1374d 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.

SullysCigar1374d 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.

LordoftheCritics1374d ago

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

Sony and MS abandoned what could have been amazing.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1374d 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?

Profchaos1374d ago

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

RedDevils1374d ago

Kinect should be kept as media interactive features.

LordoftheCritics1374d ago (Edited 1374d 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.

1374d ago
SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1374d ago

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

thorstein1374d 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 gameAr1374d 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 7211374d ago

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

Orchard1374d 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_Bomb1374d ago (Edited 1374d ago )

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

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1374d 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

yeahokwhatever1374d ago

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

Silly gameAr1374d ago (Edited 1374d 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.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1374d ago (Edited 1374d 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.

Vanfernal1374d 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.

ScootaKuH1374d ago

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

Father__Merrin1374d 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 Mammo1373d 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_DC1373d ago

Try Creed for PSVR, it's brilliant

OMGitzThatGuy1374d 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.

Ryushaa1374d 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.

jukins1374d 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.

Profchaos1374d 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.

yeahokwhatever1374d ago

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

EvertonFC1374d ago

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

yeahokwhatever1374d ago

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