I trust CVG, Gametrailers and 1up the most.

But I guess I'll wait and see if/when I get to playing it. "It used to be that you'd tolerate the Wii's graphics in order to use its motion controls. Now you don't have to." Would it be wrong to say OUCH! I think this is coming from someone who isn't really a Nintendo fan but got into Wii for the motion controls, so the comment isn't exactly comiong from a neutral/objective position. I'm thinking it'll Meta in the low 8's high 7's

What will Meta in the low 8's to high 7's? Sports Champions or the MOVE hardware?

I ask this because I think that CVG review is for the MOVE hardware and not a game.

their whole write up was not just the hardware but aslo on the software, the review sites got kits to try out the hardware along with the software..remember you cannot really tryout the harware without software!.They tryed out games, in their kit there contained many they are posting more reviews forward. as it stands now it seem's like the software is hit or miss with some reviewers while other's love or NOT REALLY KEEN ON THE SOFTWARE. The many reviews sofar on the hardware seem to say the Move is a great piece of kit for game developer's to make games for, which bodes well for Move.

Thanks for clearing that up.

Apparently Sony was right when they said "Color Changing LED Ball" is a Pro

I'm wondering about the recallibrating thing, I used to hate that on my Wii when I had to add extra controllers.

Yeah I think it was the number of times they had to do it more than the time that it to do it that was the problem. Most probably it's blown out of propotion tho

Seems like some of the reviews for Sports Champs marks it down quite a bit because of the cost of the HW set up. It's as if they think Sports Champs is the only game you play with the Move HW. Even a site like Gametrailers markes it down as hard to recommend because of how much it will all cost.

How about scoring the game for it's direct cost (being a Sony Move title it's ony $40 right?) and assume that people are going to spread the cost of getting the hardware across a number of games. After all I'm getting Move primarily for Heavy Rain and R.U.S.E. When I buy Sports Champs I'll be getting the game only so the HW costs aren't a relevant consideration.

That's slightly irked me, too, but I guess it's to be expected.  In time honoured review template fashion their using the fact you obviously have to buy the tech to play in the first instance to weight against value for the launch titles.

I've always thought this was overly simplistic, but I suspect it does suit the average consumer who probably looks at it that way.  Dance Central aside I guess we're going to hear the same for Kinect soon, if not more so, because the launch titles are pretty similar really and the cost is higher for one person experience (and arguably higher for two person as well if you're happy to use dualshocks instead of sub-controllers).

For me there's already enough interesting looking Move specific titles plus what looks like good optional support in LBP2, Socom 4, KZ3, RUSE, RE5 (Gold), etc. to cover the costs of the tech initially.

Every review seems to find the tech itself very good and accurate, and as I've already got an EyeToy I really feel it's a bit of a 'why not' in my case.

Wow, maybe the Gaming media is biased for the PS3, I'm actually surprised the tech and Sport's Champions is getting a few 4.5/5's, 8's and 9's. Weird. Poor Kung-Fu Rider, should have been a PSN release. God damn it SCEJ, they better get it right with Ape Escape 4 and Echochrome 2.
