Sony Computer Entertainment America’s Starter Kit includes the Wii Sports inspired Sports Champions, a PlayStation Eye, and a Move controller for $99. This bundle arrives in stores on September 19.

PlayStation Move won’t launch in Japan until October 21 and, in a rare move, it will cost less over there. New PlayStation 3 games typically retail for 6,980 yen ($78) to 8,190 yen ($91) in the Land of the Rising Sun. White Knight Chronicles: Awakening of Light and Darkness, for example, is 6,980 ($78).

In Japan, the PlayStation Move Starter Kit is only 5,980 yen ($67). You still get a Motion Controller, PlayStation Eye, and a game for that price. The game is different, however. Japan gets Sing and Draw instead of Sports Champions.

Sing and Draw

Sports Champions

A standalone controller costs less in Japan too. The suggested retail price in North America is $49. An extra motion controller goes for 3,980 yen ($44) in Japan.

so gonna import it from Japan

Is Sing and Draw Singstar Dance? If so, smartest move by SCEJ since the PS2, karaoke is huge there, Hudson Karaoke Joysound for Wii sold over 300k. It's about time they release it there too, has mass appeal.

So the controller is $5 less?

:O Now that's a bargain.....

No but seriously, the pack is cheaper... but the game X.x but still is like....$23 cheaper rite?

Didn't realize how expensive games were in Japan. 78$ is crazy

Sony should price the move in US like Japan

If they do that... they would have to price the games in US like japan xD

its probably priced slightly lower because it is either made in Japan or made in China. Being a Japanese product I doubt Sony has to pay tariffs to Japan, where as the rest of the world they would pay tariffs to get their products into them countries.

This is probably what the price difference is.

Its all relative.

A real bargain considering you'll eventually need to buy Navigation controller and some games require two Move controllers.

Anyhow, being huge in Japan is small potatoes. They need it to be big in NA and Europe for it to be worth while.
