Forums - Sony - PlayStation Move controller priced at $60 in Canada

I really hope that's not the price considering you need two Move's, a sub controller, and an eye for a single player only game...

Whats a sub controller?

And the eye, what is that exactly. Playstation eye pet? Or it's a different camera?

now sony should take the plunge and sell this at loss, since PS3 is getting profit, this wont succeed until its cheap, so make it happen.

For it to take off, I agree. I think Microsoft have also stated they expect to make a profit form the software.

the Eye is the camera that tracks the movement.

and the sub controller is this , its called Navigation controller (i think)

Severance the info provider! :)

But surely that sub controller must be included with the Move light bulb thingy at $60?

I also doubt that one extra would cost another $60, just for the Move.

Anyway, how much is the eye?



Ouch! Sony is going to get pawned by Natal if they release at that price. $60 for just a controller but no Eye or sub-controller or software?

If their complete package is $100-120 for everything, I'm not sure they will be able to lure the casuals in. Wii is only $200 with 2 games.

Natal may be much more attractive to casuals, especially since it doesn't require any additional controllers.

I have all 3 consoles, and I will probably end up getting Natal because it will be much easy to play casual party games on Natal-- plus I don't have to buy all the extra controllers. I already bought 2 extra Wiimotes, and I don't want to go through that again with Sony.



 

Most anticipated games of 2011:

Uncharted 3,Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, Rocksmith

Modern Warfare 3, Super Mario 3D

It seems very expansive for the PS3 fans in this thread, I agree too.

I don't think it's time for doom and gloom yet. There are pluses on Sony's side, the cam has been at like $40 since the start of the gen right, hey can cut that down to $20 straightaway.

There will probably be a Move, Cam + Nunchuck bundle for $99, enough for one gamer, maybe 2 x move, cam, nunchuck for $150. Ok it's pretty steep for new preps but if they're going with Microsoft's "vision" if you like, they'll treat this like a new gen almost.



 

The controller itself is not expensive, the problem is that it requiers a move + motion controller + eye toy.

If it's fun, people will get it.
