Forgive my stupidity but how will (or can) the wand be used in GT5?

PS Eye IS being incorporated with head tracking to look around the cockpit.

The Motion Controller would be too awkward to use unless you can remove the ball from the end of it..

What improvement would that make and what purpose would it serve better for then?

i read GT5 may get headtracking, but i think that will be DLC.

by march i dont think they will have it ready.

^^May get headtracking???

Polyphony Digital mastermind Kazunori Yamauchi has CONFIRMED that the forthcoming Gran Turismo 5 features support for head-tracking via the PlayStation Eye camera accessory.

The head-tracking feature is restricted to the in-cockpit view within GT5. Employing facial recognition, the PlayStation Eye scans the position of your head and adjusts the viewpoint in the cockpit accordingly, effectively replacing the use of the right analogue stick on the DualShock 3. Your display stops being a flat 2D representation of a 3D world and effectively becomes an interactive window into the game experience.

Sounds pretty definite to me. I haven't read anything about DLC.

because holding a wii remote on it's side is already complained about by some. Imagine adding a plastic orb to the end of that and thinking that you don't want to hold on to too tightly for fear of the stupid ball breaking.

Not comfortable is the main reason. Also I don't know if you know but the motion controller has internal motion sensors too so it's not all about the ball.
