"Just before midnight at my local GameStop, one eager Move purchaser stood in line, stepping away to snap this photograph before continuing his devoted vigil."

Me since the games were revealed, the fanboys since E3."

I'll be stopping by KMart this afternoon.  I'll report back what I find.



It's second on most online shops. Not that this says much about it's sales.



I got mine from Amazon so no idea about in store situations.  I can only note that Move has steadily climbed amazon top sellers in UK until I think it hit number 2 behind Reach (for the bundle).

So far so fun - Sports Champions seems decent and I'm just working my way through the various demos with my kids.  Tumble seems very good from the demo.  Seems very responsive and it's interesting to rotate the Move in your hand and see your racquet or whatever rotate right with it.

I got a sub-controller but haven't had to actually use it yet so no idea how it feels to use.



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

I recommend Beat Sketcher. It's pretty shallow, but still entertaining. R.U.S.E., Heavy Rain and echochrome ii also showcase Move controls done well, but most of the other demoes didn't do it for me.

That just pure bullshit, he is not telling the full details

Gamestop doesn't just open up a store and hope for the best, they open up for midnight launch when they know there is demand and people are going to show up and buy it

From reports on various forums and looking at charts on many retailers websites, it doing very will and the marketing push only starts today after the MOVE launch, so casuals don't even know about it at this time

Ummm...I take it that you didn't see Arcturus' post up above??? Gamestop opened up 440 of it's stores in the US for the midnight launch apparently...

I'd be interested to hear some initial reports as well.

Found this: 440 Gamestop locations in the US were open at midnight for the launch of Move. Looks like a positive sign.

In my town they are SOLD OUT

I was shocked!!!!!!! Because my town aint that big!



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

According to the guy I sometimes talk to at EB Games (to be polite) they're going through console bundles faster than they are actual individual moves. Lots of people have been calling up, asking questions about it and stuff. Someone rang while I was there and I saw plenty of youngins looking at the games. It's not really getting a major push in Australia, our Sony division is horrible and they're letting the Halo hype smother the Move hype.



Bet with Conegamer and AussieGecko that the PS3 will have more exclusives in 2011 than the Wii or 360... or something.
