By now you have all heard about the huge news coming out of GDC. The PS3 is finally getting the motion controller that has been rumored for months. It’s called the PS Move and could very well be a huge avenue for potential on the console. The $64,000 is, should we get excited and should this be on all of our holiday gaming lists? So far, so good. If the chance of dual wielding blades as Kratos in God of War 3 is even a remote possibility, I’m on board already.

PS Move - The Good

This is a huge step forward for the PS3 because it is something that the Xbox 360 does not have. MS will be unleashing Natal on us all, but that seems to be more of an on-screen representation of the gamer, not solely a motion controller. Second, it’s bluetooth. Expect great signal recognition there. Third, the final product looks sleek and is easy to handle.

PS Move - The Expensive

The price is going to be significant. Granted you will be getting a PS Move with the pseudo-nunchuk, a PS Eye camera, and a mini game package for what is said to be under $100. That will likely mean $99.99. Is the price too steep? Don’t know yet. It all depends just how functional the PS Move can be. The question is, what if you already have a PS Eye? Do you need to buy it all as a package? Is the controller to be standalone if you want multiples? One would assume yes because that would be a major problem.

PS Move - The Potentially Awesome

The chance to play truly HD games, over a true online service is very, very alluring. We already heard that PGA Tour 11 will be PS Move friendly as well as SOCOM 4, making me much more interested in that game. Could this be the new wave of online multi FPS? No longer sitting on the couch with modded controllers picking off noobs? Do you have to get off your ass, actually aim your sniper rifle, shoot, reload, repeat? The possibilities alone here are staggering. Fall cannot come soon enough.
