Getting the bundle and navigation controller costs $130. Is it really worth it if I already own a Wii. Sports Champions doesn't really excite me. Any thoughts?

If the games are fun and challenging(but not frustratingly so), then I'll buy a system based on that. But I've hated motion controls every time I've played a game that used them(Lair, Heavenly Sword for some parts), so that's really why this is a no buy for me. Although the price is definitely another stumbling block.

You haven't missed much. The only games that I really like are 1st party Nintendo games (Zelda Twilight Princess, Metroid Prime 3, Super Paper Mario). And each one had motion controls that sucked and were totally tacked-on just for the sake of tacking them on (except for Metroid Prime, that actually used the controls fairly well, though it doesn't have 1:1 tracking).

Also, you shouldn't base your opinion on the sixaxis type motion controls because they're nothing like what the Move is, or what the Wii is. It's really fun for the tennis and bowling games with a group of friends. I am also interested to see how it works with first person shooters, like Killzone 3, but with real 1:1 motion tracking. However, it eventually becomes tiresome when you have to point the controller at the screen for a long gaming session. So it will be pretty nice that the motion controls are supposed to be optional on the PS3 (there are so many games I really wish the Wii developers would have allowed you to use the classic controller and not the Wiimote).

It's really hard to say for sure (at least in my opinion). If you're like me, you never turn the Wii on anymore. Sometimes when my friends come over, I want to play some kind of party game, but I don't have any for the PS3. So for me, I think it will be nice to have some kind of game like this to play with my friends as kind of a casual game.

Also, the motion tracking is much more accurate than the Wii, so I can't wait to play some kind of bowling game (that was one of my favorites with the Wii).

However, if you play your Wii all the time, I don't see too much value in getting this (unless you're sick of the Wii and want more grown-up games and have HD motion controls).

I'm going to get one move controller, and am looking forward to some of the games like time crisis razing storm which also comes with time crisis 4 and deadstorm pirates on the disc.

I just hope the developers really make an effort to get creative with the implementation of Move. I don't want this to turn into another situation where it's obvious that the motion controls are forced and feel gimmicky. Wii games have been suffering from that since the beginning.

There's a real potential for this hardware, but it has to be done right...plain and simple.

I'll be buying it after seeing Time Crisis, I'll be buying it at Amazon since I've seen they sell the gun attachment with the nav controller and the Move controller. Not getting it on day 1. Probably a few days after, I want to play RE5 with Move controls. Looks fun.

Been looking to get a 2nd PS3 for a blu-ray player for the living room so I'll probably see if there are any good holiday console bundles featuring the move. It's too bad they didn't throw a free navigation controller in with the console bundle, maybe the stores will for black friday.

I bought the camera with SingStar (disappointing game) and never used it (the camera.) So my best option with Move is to buy things individually. What I've done is ordered 2 wand parts and one nunchuk at 20% off, and Sports Champions at 10% off.

Can't believe how many people are picking this up, considering the lack of great, engrossing looking launch titles and how the Wii ended up flopping after the craze died because of lack of titles. You people are taking a big gamble on this one, and personally I would go after the Kinect before I went for the Move simply because M$ has more power to pump out bigger, better titles if they feel the need. Sony may struggle early on with titles.

I'm getting it. Not at launch, but somewhat close. Echochrome 2 and Siege compel me.

Looks like maybe we're all in for a little surprise. Seems even games like Start the Party are already on backorder from BestBuy. Same goes for Sports Champions.

How are they gonna simulate the pedal in Time Crisis? How did they for older games?

It's probably because whereas the tech demos of the move show great potential, the tech demos for the Kinect mainly show the devices limitations. (Ex. miming the movements of a steering wheel to turn the car, but having no method to control gas, braking, or shifting).

Another thing is the fact in addition to all the wii-like titles they have non-casual titles like KZ3 and RE5 with optional Move support. M$ has yet to show if any non-casual games will support Kinect, which I think is a big mistake. Certainly, going to be interesting to see how both pan out in the next year.

need for re-calibration is annoying

If I remember correctly, I think you just pointed the gun down to reload in the PS2 ones. Or was there a button on the side? I dunno, but I remember them being a lot of fun on the PS2.

For developers, the nice thing about the Move is that it's pretty easy to integrate the controller into titles they're already working on while with the Kinect it seems like you would have to make a game from the ground up. Most if not all 1st/2nd party games from here on out will probably have Move support and I suspect most shooters will too.

Here's a list of the 54 Move titles

I want a PS3 Slim (my fats worries me), so buying the 320gb bundle isn't a huge investment compared to the 250. I'm also pretty excited about Resident Evil 5, No More Heroes, Oddworld and Time Crisis.

I've gotta give it to Sony with the way they are marketing the Move. Check out this new site that they just launched-

Yep, in ye olden days of Lethal Enforcers you pointed the gun down or to the side and pulled the trigger to reload. Though I suppose you could do any number of motion actions to simulate it, like pointing the move controller up and slamming the butt of the wand down into your hand to simulate popping in a new clip.
