There's a 320 GB HDD with the move bundle and a BR player with free online. And don't even try to justify adding a 2nd Move game.

So are we going to start adding in all the optional prices when we talk about purchasing things now? Because I could have sworn lems hated that crap when some cows did it, adding in XBL and P&C kit fees.

Hmmm, seems TC's price may not be indicative of the actual truth. TC Account for the PS3 bundle (it'll shave a little off).

Also, what if you only play single-player? With Kinect you have to buy the actual product, but you have the option of only buying 1 controller set for Move.

Yes but it doesn't save you any money. It's $400 and comes with just one Move controller, the camera and the game. It doesn't include the dongle, nor the second controller.

You forgot the PS3 bundle. While it doesn't seem to give you anything except a higher 320HDD space, it's still a no-brainer for anyone buying a PS3 just for Move. BTW nice flamebait thread. You're about 10 threads too late.

Is it just everything in the starter set? If so, then I retract the first part of my statement above :P

It's the same thing, but with a bigger HDD.

Interesting. I wonder why Sony didn't go for a cheaper option.

Still, I guess $400 isn't too bad.

I'll probably end up getting move just because of the 320gb bundle. More space is always nice.

Don't forget the electricity, the college degree you need to get a good job so you can afford video games too.

SO THE TRUE PRICE is probably in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.

I just remembered that 360 fans used to laugh at PS3 fans for adding on "extra cost" to the 360 back in the day. This thread is further proof that the tides have shifted.

What if you have kids and they want to play!? Then you have to buy them games, and spend gas driving to the videogame store!

SO THE TRUE PRICE is probably in the hundreds of thousands of millions of dollars.

Move bundle is 349 with the wand camera and game. 2nd move wand and sub controller is valid only in the case of you actually needing one. But it should be allowed for comparisons sake. 2nd Move game? What do you mean? And does the 360 kinect bundle include a game?

Since when has price factored in to quality? Move is very clearly the superior motion add-on.

Besides the 299 Bundle is for the model with 4 GB of space as opposed to the move bundle at 249 with 320 GB of space. See the value? So to be 100% comparable you have to get the 299 250 GB 360 then add Kinect at 150. The two are already at $450! Add a "second Kinect game" for 49 and you're up to $500. Now think about this. pay 44 dollars more and you can play the a good portion of hardcore and softcore games you may already own with move or have to wait until they figure out a way to make a Kinect game not work on rails and play with skittles till then.

Move dongle is optional. You can use the controller. Plus isn't there PS3 Move bundles being released? Not sure why people post this stuff without looking it up first.

Well I'd only be getting the bundle for $100. I wouldnt be getting those starter games either when actual decent games are going to support it. I'd assume quite a few others would do the same all in all. This all depends on if I actually got it though. Chances are slim. Kinect, is pretty much a straight up no. I do want to try it once though and Im sure I'll get a chance to eventually. After all, someone I know will be dumb enough to buy it.

You don't need the navigation controller, but for some games you do need that second motion controller.

For now I'll be passing up on the Move. I would rather play games with Move capabilities like Killzone 3, LBP2, Socom 4 and so on with the DS3. Matter of fact, I think the next controller I'm geting for the PS3 is a Power A Pro Elite controller and I'm good. If I want to waggle a controller around I would just buy games for the Wii.

Also I did notice hands on demos for the Move on shows like Attack of the Show and other gaming shows online, they did mention that if you want at least to play two players, you would need to buy more Move controllers and they said that can get costly.

If I ever do want it it will only be $50 per move controller, I have the eye like you. I am amazingly dexterous to be able to use the normal controller for movement... yea, I'm cool like that :P

Anyway... what's funny is when ad campaigns make fun of themselfs like

Yes you are correct. Since there's no 4 GB PS3 the next best product for comparison is the 250 GB Xbox which costs 299 and won't come with the camera. Guess how much that will cost.

Kinect game = $50

360 HDD = $120

thats a pretty asinine way of buying things.

you could just get the 250g version, and get kinect w/ game included and save 20 bucks.

but i dont think you need a HDD to play kinect, otherwise the kinect bundle would be rather foolish.

EDIT: oh and as the guy below pointed out... the $300 bundle comes with a game... i actually didnt know that myself though.

EXACTLY what I was thinking.

every kinect comes with kinect adventures. if its stand alone or bundled... move starter comes with a game also i wouldnt mind getting it but i already have a ps3 eye so im eating 30 bucks if i buy the starter pack. sony should have put in the sub controller and just put a ps3 eye in all the systems sold. imo the ps3 eye sucks and sony will have to make a new one if they want move to be good.
