Forums - Sony - Sony's Motion Controller

Okay it's supposedly due in Spring 2010, but what packages will there be and what will it cost?

I reckon we will see full kits (Playstation Eye, Motion Controller & Software/Game), Motion Controller and Software/Game kits and just the Motion Controller.  Obviously we are not sure if the Motion Controller will come with only one wand or whether it will be 2 controllers similar to what the Wii has.

In the UK, the Playstation Eye alone costs around £25 and in the US $40, so I think we should realistically see the kits I've described above at the approximate costings.

Full Kit (Eye, Controller & Game) - £60-£70 ($85-$100)

Controller & Game Kit (Controller & Game) - £45-£55 ($60-$75)

Controller Kit (Controller Only) - £35/£40 ($50-$60)



Prediction (June 12th 2017)

Permanent pricedrop for both PS4 Slim and PS4 Pro in October.

PS4 Slim $249 (October 2017)

PS4 Pro $349 (October 2017)

APE ESCAPE!!!!!! with MOTION



Doesn't the technology require the camera to track the wands? I thought that was the major point of the colored ball at the end, so that it could be tracked by the camera.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but it just seemed like for a majority of the motion sensing it would require the camera.



I hope not..i dont want a PS EYE

Yes. You NEED to have the PlayStation Eye to use the Sixense controllers. It's just like the Wii Remote and the sensor bar.

 

My guess is that Sony will release two versions, one bundled with the PSEye and one without.

The PSEye currently retails for $39.99 and I imagine that Sony would want to price the bundles competatively with the Wii Remote/Wii Play bundle. For that I believe that Sony will have the PSEye Bundle between $60 and have the bundle without the PSEye be $40.

find..ill get one

PS EYE tracks the motion. Without it the controllers would be nothing more than Wii-mote shaped Sixaxis's.

As far as price and packaging. Lets just hope they don't skrew things up.



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.

Hot Shots Golf 5 will be patched for this, mark my words. It'll probably be bundled with the controller too since it'll cost Sony next to nothing since the game is selling for $20 bucks now.
As far as prices go, you can get a DS3 for 43 bucks and a PS Eye for 32 bucks, I guess:
Wand - $35-40 bucksWand + Eye - $50 bucks, $60 at the very mostWand + Eye + HSG5 = $70, $75 bucks at the most
