PlayStation Move Starter Kit

Even though we have had a Wii for about 4 years I’ve never really taken the fitness element of the Wii fit too seriously. I’m not sure if this is because of the graphics or the types of games but for some reason I’ve struggled to really use it for fitness. As a result when we saw the Playstation Move in action we decided that it would be a much better alternative. Having been released at the same time as Kinect for Xbox 360 we waited for the prices to start to fall before buying this, the starter pack for Playstation Move. What Do You Get Within the Playstation move starter pack you get the ... more

So this review will go through why the Playstation Move is slightly better than the Wii. This new accessory for the Playstation 3 is meant to bring in more casual gamers into the market (just like Microsoft's Kinect is trying to do for the Xbox 360). Playstation Move succeeds. It succeeds mainly through the fact that it uses existing technology (the Playstation Eye picks up the gesture movements) and through the power of the PS3, gesture based gaming can be played in HD. The Playstation Move can be easily picked up via the Playstation Eye and as long as the ambient light in the room isn't too ... more

Sony's latest gimmick is the ps move which is basically the wii, with a camera instead of a sensor bar and a wiimote with a glowing ball on the top. So is this worth your money or is it just a cheap gimmick to attract more people to the ps3? Let's find out. To start off let's talk about the ps eye.

The eye is also used to track the glowing balls movements instead of just a tacky sensor bar that doesn't actually sense your movements like the wii offers. This helps for ... more

In concept the move is a perfect combination of a Wii remote and Kinect giving players the precision of a controller but using a camera for visual interaction and full body tracking. In practice it could use some tweaking, the move users a series of accelerometers, angular rate sensors, magnetometers and an LED tracking system to turn in motion, velocity, rotation and position within 3D space. All this technical jargon works together to create one of the most accurate, 1-2-1 motion controls systems available but despite tremendous power behind the move performance can vary from game to game.

I bought the move for the playstation 3 for my fiance for Christmas. I didnt look into many reviews about this but wish I had. Hence the reason why I thought be best to get an opinion across on this. The starter kit comes complete with: Eye cam Motion controller x 1 Starter CD - includes mini games to try out and buy full game if like any It was very easy to install but quickly realised that one controller was not enough. Despite this being called a starter kit I had bought a game (the fight) to go with this and for this game you need two controllers. Not very good when you are eager to play ... more
