Rumored Details On Two PlayStation 3 Move Bundles

Sony will give you any number of ways to dive into the world of PlayStation Move, but they haven't quite lifted the lid on every possible option.

There's the controller by itself for $49, the controller with the PlayStation Eye and a game for $99, and the previously announced PS3 Move Bundle for $399. But what about the other one...? Well, it seems Gamervision has the inside scoop on further details for the $399 bundle as well as "confirmation" of a currently unannounced $349 Move-related package. The source claims that the $399 bundle will boast a 320GB PS3 unit, which should be quite appealing. The mystery $349 PS3/Move combo will have the standard 120GB model. Now, this could indicate the potential inevitability that Sony will soon make the 320GB version the default model, which could in turn result in a $50 price drop for the older console. Of course, there's an ongoing competition with Microsoft in terms of a hardware war, and this always features a constant case of "one-upmanship" for both players. Gotta love competition.

Anyway, we'll have to wait and see what Sony has in store for us this holiday season. We shouldn't rule out the possibility of bundles for big exclusive games, too, like LittleBigPlanet 2 and Gran Turismo 5.

Perhaps if Gamestop and Xbot employees stopped boasting about how incredible Halo and Gears are, PS3 and Move would sell better and generate real competition.

Sony has pulled all the tricks. They are leading in terms of technology and price. Apart from Kinect (which looks good now but will go the way of the Wii over time), 360 hasn't got much left.

Why do these fanboys continue to persuade people one way or another?!?!?

Anyways, nice to know Sony is thinking of the consumer and offering people a lot of options to get into Move, so no matter how poor or rich you are, you are covered on all sides to "move" into Move.

And now for their marketing department to do something awesome. They need to create hype over this, mention a combination of Kinect and Wii technology with extra juice to make it the most accurate motion gaming controller ever created!!!! The people need to know.

I've seen a lot of stuff for kinect, but I would call any of it good. Most of it looks worse than what you can get for the wii.

If you're going to spend $150 on kinect you might as well get a wii, it'll look better and work better.

It's not just Gamestop that has failing Xbox 360s. The other day I went to Fry's and they had the RROD Xbox 360 and they could care less that it was broken. I think it has to do with the glass case they keep it in, because it can't breathe. If you look at the PS3 display, it is not even hooked up (it is just a display model, the real one is at the bottom of the display).

I don't think Sony will have to worry about MS. The Move is at a much more reasonable price point. Who the hell is going to pay $150 plus tax for Kinect? for another $50 bucks you can get a Wii and for another $150 you can get a PS3.

plus you'll need a PSEye, unless you already have one.

If you still need the eye, check the internet for the older game bundle called the "Eye of Judgement".

It has a free PSEye included & the going price should be about $19.99 or less now(got mine at Toys R Us last year).

Not quite true, according to the wiki page you can use a ds3 controller for your secondary hand, for the shield or bow.

It always shows 2 wands and some games will require 2, but most games will not.

It's going to be interesting to see how all this "getting in on the motion gaming" works out for Sony and MS.

I personally think Kinect will fail miserably. Even some of the most hardened 360 owners are scoffing at it.

Sony has a good product (as is usually the case) in Move, but I don't believe it'll cause a frenzy. I guess it's just nice to know it's there if you want it.

I thought a while back about the LBP2 and GT5 bundles and been hoping for a GT5 bundle even be for I got a PS3.
With move, 3D, GT5, LBP2, and some great bundles I have no dought that Sony will own the Holiday season agian.

Instead of buying a new PS3, it's far cheaper to just buy a 2.5" 5400RPM HDD and install it yourself. Whatever size you want. (I suggest not going over 500GB since it can be difficult to manipulate a PS3's HDD to partition anymore space. My PS3 won't partition off more than 482GB, so I have 18GB of wasted space on my HDD. I've read about people who got 1TB HDD's only to find their PS3 won't recognize more than 480-ish GB after partition.)

It's stupid easy to do, and if you need help, there are some great tutorials on YouTube. Watch it once and you'll know how to do it.

That $3459 bundle is interesting. It sounds like a stealth price cut. If Sony flushes the channel of all 120GB systems that they'd stockpiled, and brings newer models with bigger HDDs, that $349 bundle could be *very* interesting.

That way they cut the price of the 120GB system to $249 without openly admitting that they are doing it, and then post Holidays in the Spring they can announce the new price without taking any further revenue hit because they have already been operating effectively at that price with the bundle.

I think they have done this before with PS2 and previously with PS3.

All I want, and this is all I want...is for Playstation to be nothing less than excellence once again. With Sony looking to post gain and growth plus profit for the first quarter of '10 they can make Playstation respectable again. With better bundles, better pricing, stronger firmware updates, etc. Quite honestly I already see them pushing...it's only going to take continued profit for them to out-do the competition by unsurpassed exclusives and impossible bundles, sales, etc. When you have the money, you're able to "give away" things at untouched prices, making the world and it's people go bonkers.

Thing is, MS reached that point quicker with inferior cheaper hardware. That's why 360 sales trumped PS3 at first.

Now that PS3 is making a profit and bringing down prices, Sony is set to sweep in for the kill and own the rest of this generation.

I just love the Sony guys at the top. The fact they they're only concentrating on games, games, and more games makes me and many gamers happy. Sony are on the ball right now.

I know, without a doubt, that 2010 truly is the year of the PS3. MS can't even touch Sony's success right now. Sony have got a whole new image!!! It's wonderful again.

The Xbots are silent, PS3 lovers grow in numbers constantly, 360 sales are way down (cept for the 360 slim spike from trade-ins), Move is "moving" on up in opinion polls.

The only thing causing the slightest bit of doubt right now is the cost of glasses and 3D TVs. Since Nintendo swept in and showed off 3D with no glasses, Sony's 3D push doesn't have as much weight behind it. I saw the looks on peoples faces when the E3 crowd were asked to put on the 3D glasses for the Killzone 3 demo, after coming from the Nintendo conference and playing the 3DS.

All I can say to Nintendo is this. Good luck trying to get that kinda 3D tech onto a big 50 inch screen. Sony's done it well. You guys can have your awesome handehelds. I got my powerhouse of a console to keep me warm at night. (Warmer if I leave my 360 on all night)

@DanceMachine,

I'm sure you already know this, but I'm gonna say it anyway, for the benefit of any Nintendo fans out there. The 3D tech in the 3DS is marginally more innovative than the 3D ViewMaster we all played with as a kid. It relies on an additional layer of prisms that separate the image on the screen. The screen itself is double the horizontal resolution, and the special optical layer displaces alternate columns of pixels so that one eye see's one column and the other eye sees the other. However, this technology only works at arms length, and only for the player and those within a quite specific field of view behind the player.

Nintendo can't scale it up for TVs at home because their technology relies on a special optical filter to separate the pixels for the stereoscopic view. For the Home, the best that Nintendo can do is follow Sony's lead.

Considering that the amount of work involved in building an emulator for the PS2 (if it were actually possible). You'd expect them to have done t already since it'd be about the same amount of work as remastering all of SlyCooper in HD and could be re-used for all other PS2 title.

However there are particular challenges that make software emulation of the PS2 very difficult, so it's extremely unlikely to happen this generation.

there releasing the bundle here, 1 move controller, 1 eye, and demo disk for the same price as the US.
but than if you want another move controller which you need for most games, or want a sub controller than there at there usual tricks and converting it to AUD than adding a little icing on the cake!
if they can offer us the bundle at the same price, than why not the whole range?

I used to love the fact that the Canadian prices were the same as the American prices. $60 there was $60 here for games. But now it doesn't really make a difference anymore now that the two dollars are just about even. (97 cents to the dollar I think I saw today)

You'd have thought that after 4+ decades of Consumer electronics pricing in Australia working the same way, you might be used to that by now. but then again, the UK always has the same complaint. The trouble is that as *any* businessman will tell you a simple currency conversion is never enough, local market conditions and overheads apply. Which means that a) the raw currency rate is never applied, and b) there are reasons unique to a given market for a higher (or lower) price. You won't agree with the reasons for local market conditions, so there's no point in me even trying to relate them to you, but they do exist, and often mean that prices in specific countries or regions may be a tad higher than others.

Tuesday, July 27, 2010 @ 10:41:11 AM

I'm aware of one market condition for us. lol. It's actually a common strategy for many Canadian business owners.

Even when the American dollar was head and shoulders above the Canadian dollar, things still had the same price tag here as they did there. The reason being that a huge portion of Canada's population lives in South Western Ontario within a 2-4 hour radius of Toronto. There are so many border crossings nearby to the states that litterally (across Canada too, but mostly due to South West Ontario) about 70% of Canadians live within 2 hours to the nearest American border.

So, we keep the same price for two reasons. (Prices did drop lower for us when our dollar was stronger than the American dollar for nearly 2 months last year) Reason 1) Canadians are motivated to buy in Canada because it's more expensive in the states, and 2) Americans in New York and Michigan states prefer to shop on our side of the map for HUGE savings. (Even with duty!)

I mean, remember when the Canadian dollar was only like 60 cents to the American Dollar? Americans could spend 60$ on a game in the states (of course they shop for other things too) or the equivalent of $35 for the same game in the States! The population in the states is so much higher than Canada's, that it makes no sense for the states to try to compete. Too much effort for little return. Different story for a smaller population in Canada.

Anyways... there's an example of a geographical reason for price changes.

In the UK it used to be a case of swapping the currency symbol for most things. It's a little (?) better now as most of the time prices are set in Euro and then currency converted into UK pounds. Of course I live state-side now, so I don't worry so much about UK pricing.

I might pick up the PS Eye when GT5 comes out, if you can use it for head tracking. That would be kind of cool for online, as you could look to the sides and see if someone was trying to pass you. Then maybe I'll get the Move controller and sub-controller (or whatever it requires) when Dead Space 2 comes out, so I can play Dead Space Extraction.

I have no need for a 320GB if they do come out with one. I've made some manual changes to my PS3. It has a better fan (doesn't get nearly as hot now and I anticipate that will delay me ever getting a YLOD) and I've replaced the HDD with a bigger one.

So in short, I am the proud owner of a release PS3, 100% backwards compatible, wi-fi enabled, 500GB HDD Playstation 3 with a better fan for keeping things cool.

Man, I love my little screwdriver.

Well, I have to replace the HDD in one of my older PS3s with a new 500GB one from WD that is faster, quieter and far cooler than the 320GB I have right now. If it works well, I will replace the one in my wife's PS3 as well. The drive is designed for extra long life, very low power consumption and extra error checking to prevent corruption.

I do have one question for you, how did you get into the system to replace the fan? I'm not necessarily wanting to replace the fan, but I'd like to get inside and blast 3 and a half years of grime from the inner surfaces.

To be honest, I wouldn't be able to do it again without using the YouTube video guide I used. So as much as I'd like to take credit for being hardware savy, I followed a YouTube guide. Additionally, my wife's cousin is an Electrical Engineer, and he helped do it. He pointed out a few things to be careful of not disconnecting. If you're good with that kind of thing, I bet you'd have no problem using the guide. I, of course, was paranoid of wrecking my PS3. lol

My friend used YouTube to follow another guide to correct his YLOD. It isn't a permanent fix for YLOD, I don't think, but it did fix it.

Yeah, I followed the gilksy guide when I fixed my YLOD on my old 60Gb. The machine is actually very easy to take apart. Just make sure you have some clean table space, a handfull of little tupperware containers or something to keep screws separate for each level of disassembly and follow the youtube video carefully (I recommend downloading the pdf instruction booklet too, very handy). You should be fine. I got an extra 3 months out of it the first time, then a month the second time, then only a few days the last time before woefully giving up on her and getting a slim.

Don't make the same mistakes I did. Keep your PS3 in a well ventilated area. Don't place it's back to the wall, or if you do give it at least 8". If you've got some spare PC case fans lying around set'em up near by to keep air flowing.

My older PS3 isn't overheating, and if it was, I'd probably send nit to Sony for a fix. But, I'd love to be able to clean out the grime inside to help it last longer without a service call. That said, nearly 4 years of fault free operation (not counting HDD corruption) isn't bad. So far it's lasted longer than any PC I've had except the one system I built for myself.

There's a few guides about safe dismantling of the PS3 if it's just a cleaning you're after. From what I can tell, if you've built your own PC before, you could probably do it without a guide. It isn't too complicated on the inside.

I got my wife's cousin to help out, though, just in case, since I'm not exactly a PC technician.

The funny thing is I would feel far more apprehensive about dismantling my PS3 than just about anything else, including a PSP, cellphone or laptop PC. Not sure why. Must be the mystique of the thing.

The 160Gb and 320Gb PS3s are suppose to come out in Japan on July 29. Maybe Sony will make an announcement at Gamescom.

Since I'm in the market for a new PS3 :( I was talking with my friend who works in the sony section of futureshop told me to wait till 9/17/2010 since both bundles will be out with the move, I also was told this @ Walmart as well so @ this time I'll be preordering a 349 move bundle since I already have a big hdd on my old console I'll just switch till I fix my broken ps3 didn't want to fix it due to the 90 day warranty don't want to spend 205.17 (shipping) CDN and then it breaks again on me so I'll be thinking about this for a bit. So for now I'm back to playing PS2 games. This gives me time to save, dont' really have the cash to fork over for a new system I need to get more overtime to pay for it.
