Playstation Move

PlayStation Move is world's most accurate motion gaming experience. So whether you're spiking volleyball, shooting an arrow, or defending yourself in the gladiator dual, your every move is translated into game with complete precision. With party games perfect for family game night, creative titles for kids, and astounding experiences for core gamers, PlayStation Move will change way you play. It's most immersive gaming experience ever, and it's possible only on PlayStation 3 system (www.blastmagazine.com).

The PlayStation Move starter bundle includes building blocks of PlayStation Move motion-controlled gaming system: Move motion controller and PlayStation Eye Camera. Equipped with the three axis gyroscope, the three axis accelerometer and terrestrial magnetic field sensor, during gameplay PlayStation Move motion controller tracks precise movements and angle of controller, while PlayStation Eye camera, aimed at player, allows PS3 system to detect absolute position of controller in 3D space (www.arstechnica.com). Together this facilitates highly sensitive movement tracking and intuitive gameplay that projects user on-screen and provides realistic and responsive movement and actions in-game. The PlayStation Move motion controller also features familiar PlayStation controller button orientation, for seamless play from very first use.

From the user's point of view, Move could be viewed as approximately right side of DualShock 3 where motion tracking function is R3 analog stick, R1 is MOVE button and R2 becomes Move's T (rigger). You also get 4 Square/Circle/X/Triangle, in the square (not 'diamond') formation, PS button as well as START and SELECT. So far, most used buttons during gameplay were MOVE and T (rigger).

The controller is quite substantial as far as both size and weight - I like that and liked its being shaped in the way that makes it easy to grab and hold. Very much like the microphone or the very thick magic wand; NOT the remote control (www.playstationmovefree.net).
