New Playstation Move Bundle

Sony has finally unveiled their new Playstation 3 bundle for the Playstation Move.  Back at Sony's press conference this year at E3, they revealed that they would be releasing two Playstation Move bundles. 

These bundles include one with the Playstation 3 console that comes with the Eye and Move controller together and a game included (as seen above) all for just $399.99.  The other comes with just the Playstation Eye, Move controller, and a game (as seen below) for only $99.99.

Of course, if you already own a PS3 console, as well as the Playstation Eye, you could always just purchase the Playstation Move controller (as seen below), which is currently set at $49.99.

The closer the Move is to being released, the more and more I want it.  It looks like it could be a lot of fun, as well as a cool way to play more hardcore games.  The Move also looks like it can show a lot of creativity.  I'll probably be picking up the Starter Pack with the Eye and Move controller.

Killzone 3 Box Art

Guerilla Game have just released the Killzone 3 box art and I think it is different, but still pretty cool looking.  The crimson glowing eyes of the Helghast really stand out in this Arctic enviroment.

My only problem with the cover art is that there are too many logo's.  One or two would be fine, three is pushing it and four is way too much.  I do think that the Playstation Move section is fitting and looks good next to the "Only On Playstation" section.

Since I'm a huge fan of K2, I'm really excited about Killzone 3.  I can't wait until next February just to play it.

500GB PS3 with Faster Wi-Fi and The Move

According to game site CVG, Sony will be releasing two new PS3 bundles that will both include a Playstation Move motion controllers and one will have a massive 500GB HDD.

Sony revealed earlier this year that they would be releasing a Move bundle which include a 250 GB hard drive and the Move itself.  What they didn't say was that they were releasing a 500GB.  

That's a lot of memory that will most likely never be filled...unless Sony expects you too.

It's also said that these new PS3's will be new models containing faster 802.11n wireless for faster Wi-Fi speeds.  Earlier this year, the FCC were seen testing two new Playstation 3 models.

If the rumors are fact or fiction, I'll keep you posted.

The Playstation Move's "Motion Fighter"

"Motion Fighter" is the working title of a newly announced game for the new Playstation Move, that was revealed at GDC this afternoon.  It is essentially a street fighting beat-em up that was demonstrated using 1:1 motion capability.  Sony said that overall the project is only around 20 percent finished so far.  Check out some screens below.

The Playstation Move

Today at GDC 2010, Sony finally announced the name for their new motion-control peripheral, the Playstation Move.  The Move is set to release later this year sometime in the fall in three options:  individually, bundled with a Playstation Eye camera, or bundled with the camera and a Playstation 3 console.

We had first seen it at Gamescon back in September, but Sony never actuall released any official press shots of the Move, until now.  The photos give a close look at the wand and the "nun-chuck" accessory, as well as the color that the illuminating ball atop the controller will glow.

I'm not sure if I love the Move, but I definitely don't hate it.  Even though I think the idea of motion controls are overrated and are just a desperate attempt to reach a broader audience, the Playstation Move could actually fun and appeal to more hardcore gamers.

Check out the official photos below and write what you think in the comments section.
