Sony motion controller video demo
TABLE TENNIS WILL never be quite the same with Sony's Move motion controller game system that is a bit like Wii only with glowing orbs on.
At Amazon's Christmas Wish List event Suki from Sony demonstrated the Move motion controller with panache. To be released in Europe from 15 September for the Playstation 3, the Move motion controller will be priced at around £40 but you will also need the Playstation Eye camera and that will cost about another £30. You might also want to get the Playstation Move charging station, to charge up to two Move controllers at once without having to connect them to the PS3 system, and that will set you back about another £30.
And for first person shooter enthusiasts there is the "shooting attachment", designed to allow players to hold the motion controller horizontally as if they are holding a gun to easily aim at an in-game target. This attachment comes with a price tag of about £15. µ

the angle you need to point your wrist to use the thing is likely to result in wrist strain. It looks silly like a glow stick and also distracts you from the game waving a light in front of you! what a silly design?!!
Seems like you are playing with an cone ice cream... That thing is ugly as hell on a stick.
ODd comments, of course it's not like the eyetoy, that was not 3D and didnt' have acceleration sensors and is not comparable.
As for approachable, seems dead simple to me, and it's nice that they even realize there are lefthanded people too and people who will hold a paddle in a different way.
So it seems OK, and the reaction speed isn't too bad either, there's lag so it's not like playing real tabletennis for instance, but the lag is within reason.
So that's all positive except that it is sony, and I for one will not support sony, they are bastards that tried to mess up my computer many times, and they run the MPAA and such, so no, you won't get my appreciation only my honesty about this product.
Can we all agree that it is no where near as approachable as nintendos solution.
You can the person demoing the games is having problems using it. How is this going to catch the casual gamers who dont know how to tekken 10 hit combos.
Couldn't you do most of this on the original EyeToy with your hands? Adding a Wii style remote is not creative!
Now you can play either with your Wii or with your glowing orbs...
I'm speachless...
