Yes I have got a PS Move, and it has been charging for 6 hours now and still going. I have not heard anyone talk about battery charging and recharging of the Move, including the professional reviewers who seem more interested in displaying their free offer from Sony. Battery charging/recharging is fairly a big issue, isn't it? DualShock requires 2 hours only!

First charge should always be the longest, and usually with lithium batteries the longevity of the battery will increase slightly after a few charges... Or atleast my mobile did infact the booklet even said battery life will be shorter and increase after a few. Shouldn't be too bad if it can last 10 hours without a charge then i'd say thats fair enough, it does have a lot fo sensors just eating up the battery life so i'd expect the battery life to be shorter than a Dualshock.

The very first PS3 controllers, Not dualschok but only SixAxis have to charge for only an hour.

DS3 takes 1 hour when charging from the PS3 and about 40 mins when hooked up to a seperate charger.

The Move controllers should be about the same since they run off of the same kind of batteries.

It should be pretty fast. I'm playing some Move-only demos ATM and I have my Wand connected to the USB of my Notebook and in about 30min it arrived at 2 of 3 lines, should be around half I guess :S That said I doubt it'll take much more than an hour if you charge it without playing with it

Don't know how long my PS move charged for the first time. I just fell sleep and the charging was done when I woke up. Here is from the official FAQ. Damn 5 hours of charging for the use of 10 hours... "It takes approximately five hours to fully charge a PlayStation Move motion controller (four hours using the charging station). Once fully charged, you can expect at a maximum 10 hours of battery life." http://blog.us.playstation.com/2010/09/07/playstation-move-the-ultimate-faq/

that seems pretty ridiculous.. the DS3 takes about an hour to charge and 20-25 hours of life.. I would imagine its a big longer life than that..
