Hahaha, that's me!

[BlackNMild2k1]

Don't forget to update your IMDB

[Caterkiller]

Crap... I'll do it tonight...

[EasyCure]

congrats Cat! I'll keep a lookout for that spot to air and tell all my friends i sorta know you!

[ThePerm]

he still hasn't updated his imdb

[Caterkiller]

I'll do it today for sure! For sure!

[BlackNMild2k1]

That's what you've been saying about the "Stop.... Camera Time!" thread too.

tonite @ midnight, stop what your doing and pull out a camera and take a pic of whatever is happening right infront of you.

Why do you want a thread of pictures of computer screens showing porn?

[BlackNMild2k1]

I figure some of us lead a more interesting life filled with actual events and real people.
If someone wants to expose their masturbatory habits, then that is up to them.

But those of us that do (live life outside the internet) can post pics
those of us that don't (at least on that particular day and at that particular time) can look at pics.

Playstation Move Controller $59.99

Sony's been pretty fuzzy on pricing for the PlayStation Move -- we've only really heard "under $100" for the full package with controller and camera -- but it looks like the numbers are starting to solidify, as Gamestop Canada has the controller itself now listed for $59.99. How that number will translate into a US price is obviously up in the air, but Sony's MSRPs tend to be the same or similar across the US and Canada, so we'd say we've at least got a reasonable estimate of how much this thing is going to cost. We'd also guess that this points to a full package price of $99, but we'll see -- Sony's got months before the Move's planned holiday launch to tweak all these numbers.

Move Controller - $59.99 (x2)
PSEye Camera - $39.99
Move NavCon - $29.99(?)
----------------------------------
Complete 1 player PS Move Experience - $189.96

I know I won't be joining that Move-ment

There is no way just the controller is gonna cost that much though. That must be for the controller and the camera and would look more like this in pricing

Move Controller and Camera - $59.99
Additional Move Controller - $29.99
Move Navigation Controller - $19.99
--------------------------------------
Complete 1 player Move Experience - $109.97


It's not less than the $100 they said before, but it's pretty close, until you include tax.

All things considered, that wouldn't be as horrible a price as it looked a few months ago.  It's actually not all that far off the price for a Wiimote ($40) + nunchuck ($20) + Motion+ ($25), and supposedly the motion control is a little bit better.  Of course, the Wii remote and accessories are severely overpriced as well IMO, so that's not saying a lot.  A pity I can't say the same for the Move games announced so far.

[BlackNMild2k1]

Where is M+ $25?
Are you shopping at Game Stop?

Wiimote w/ M+ - $49.99
Nunchuck - $19.99
-------------------------
Wiichuck+ - 69.98

$70 vs $110 is pretty far off actually.

Yeah, I used GS numbers just to use a base number, considering it's second only to Walmart in retail game sales.  Special bundles and whatnot like your Wiimote w/ M+ bundle are naturally going to lower prices, but there's no reason to believe the Move won't have similar ones as well.  But we'll see what happens when we get North American prices.
 
Of course, as I said before the real problem with this controller isn't the price but the selection of games that will use it.  So far, the lineup's pretty pitiful.

So the PS3 move thing costs almost as much as buying a Wii console?

[broodwars]

Only if those numbers turn out to be accurate for the North American release, and only if you're (for some bizarre reason) buying 2 Move controllers despite only playing 1 Player games.

[BlackNMild2k1]

So the PS3 move thing costs almost as much as buying a Wii console?

Wii w/ 2 games & wiichuck+ - $199.99
extra wiichuck+ - $70 (x3) - $210
-----------------------------------
Wii with 2 games and 4 players = $410


Playstation 3 - $299.99
Move (camera + controller) - $60
2nd Controller + NavCon - $50
---------------------------------
Playstation 3 w/ 1(maybe 2)player Move & 0 games = $410


Side by side, I think I know where the savvy consumer dollar will go.


To bring PS3 upto 4 player with 2 games..
Dual Shock 3 $39.99 (x3) - $120
Move Con $29.99 + NavCon $19.99 (x3) - $150
Games $60 (x2) - $120
--------------------------------------------
PS3 Move No Excuses 4 player upgrade = $390
Complete PS3 Move Total Package 4player Bundle = $800


I couldn't believe the math while adding that up. That is ridiculous.

I guess you didn't see the 1 player games that required 2 move controllers, like boxing and air traffic control .

The Nav Controller doesn't have motion control capability ala the Wiimote Nunchuck?

[BlackNMild2k1]

2 different souces say 2 different things, but that doesn't change the fact that the boxing game uses two disco sticks to track both hands.


and to do things like this:

Pachter Sez: Playstation Move is the WiiHD I've been referring to all along!!!!

Eurogamer: Let's talk about E3. Who would you rather be: Nintendo, Microsoft or Sony?

Michael Pachter: It really depends on this 3DS and how good it is, because I don't think Nintendo has anything else. Nintendo is on the verge of - certainly not dropping into third place or anything - losing its dominance, because I really truly believe that Sony Move is the Wii HD. I really believe it. That's been my quote: I told everyone a Wii HD was coming this year, it just happens to say PS3 on the box. It is the Wii HD.

Yeah, right.  Suuuuuuure you meant a Sony motion controller all along.  That totally matches up with everything you've been saying over the last several years, Pacter. 

[BlackNMild2k1]

I forgot to bold a very important part of that quote

Nintendo is on the verge of - certainly not dropping into third place or anything - losing its dominance, because I really truly believe that Sony Move is the Wii HD.

But that doesn't really help Pachter out.

and apparently, neither does this:
