Why not have the tracker ball come on (but go off after the controller is still for a few seconds), providing you with all sorts of easier navigation tools? Fast forward/Rewind by making a circular motion, Play/Pause by making a stabbing motion, bring up the pop-up menu by holding the Move in the air, etc.
Of course, none of that is easier than pushing a button, but it would still be a cool tech demo or last resort if the controller is beside you and you are too lazy to get up and grab the actual Blu-ray remote/Dualshock.
I think he meant how un-intuitive and useless PS Move is on blu-rays. See how he had problems navigating the menu? Figuring out what does what? Might as well use a controller, it cost less and you can figure it out faster!
Also notice how he has his 360 placed on the TV? No wonder these 360 goes RROD! This guy is a "supposedly" hard core gamer, yet he is dense enough to block the bottom vent as well as the right vent! I'm sure we will get an article about how he kept his Xbox 360 in the open yet it RROD soon.
Then he proceeds to comment on "gyroscopes" which clearly he is clue less. Blog news at it's best!!!
That is a really good movie. It's an awesome commentary on the value of human life, and how we treat it as a commodity (high supply = low value/low supply = high value).
Without reading I would say yes as it has all the same face buttons.
You know what would be a really cool idea though? If you could use the PS eye's voice function to stop and start it. Of course you would have to use a verbal code to avoid confusion, lets say, oh I don't know...... 'PS3 PLAY' and 'PS3 STOP'. Infact I gonna write a letter to Sony right now!!!!!!!!!!!!
I prefer the optional Blu Ray controller - it is only 20 dollars, and has a seperate button for every function, like every other DVD/Blu Ray controller.
He's using the Move before the final firmware for it is even out. For all we know, there could be lots of other Move options in the release firmware, which I'll bet Sony will update shortly before the Move releases at retail.
I wouldn't expect too much extra stuff, however. Remember the OS on the PS3 is absolutely minimal, as far as memory footprint goes, to make more available for games. I doubt they'll have too many cool pointer-style features available for it -- just because they can't add much without making the OS bigger (which would make some games unplayable). If we see cool uses of the Move, it'll be inside games and apps, not in the OS.
..not really.
Anyway, it's nice to know that it does work but it's not really something you'd go out of your way to use while watching a Bluray.
"Not as cool as you would expect..."?
What does that mean?
I expect it to navigate the menu. Did you expect something else?

its a controller for the playstation 3, is it not?
