But the biggest concern for consumers, next to quality, is, of course, cost, and Sony has actually been very smart in their pricing of PlayStation Move. While certainly not a cheap endeavor, the Move has been broken down, piece-by-piece, which allows users to buy only the parts they need. In other words, if you already own a PlayStation Eye and just need the controller and a game, you can do precisely that. The Move controller is being sold separately for $49.99 and the Navigation controller will cost $29.99, while the setup can be purchased with the camera, Move controller, and a copy of Sports Champions for $99.99. Prospective PlayStation 3 owners can even buy a bundle with the PlayStation Move, PlayStation Eye, Sports Champions, and a 320GB PlayStation 3 for $399.
At the end of the day, the PlayStation Move has the potential to be the best motion control system on the current crop of consoles; but unfortunately, the games offered at the moment just don't do the technology justice. If you're eager to buy into the system now, don't expect a whole lot of great content straight out of the gate, but with time and certain kinks ironed out, the Move could prove to be a great way to add new gameplay experiences to the PlayStation 3 and attract new, more casual players.

There are two ways to look at the Playstation Move, or any motion controlled gaming device that isn't the Wii. You can consider the hardware in a vacuum, without comparing it to the Wii. Or you can compare it to its obvious competition. Fortunately for the Move, either way you look at it, the Playstation 3's answer to motion gaming seems to have what it takes to compete. The question is can they set themselves apart from a console that doesn't just own the market, it practically invented it.
The Playstation Move is a intuitive, natural feeling way to play games and it brings with it not only a sense of increased immersion to already graphically immersive games, but a new way to play with your reality and a refreshing form of colorful feedback.
