They'll drop the price when they can't shift units off the shelves.

Isn't there a bundle with a new xbox?  Does that make it any cheaper?

I think move sounds much better especailly since the playstaion eye camera only picks up the glowing ball on the move controller so low light levels might actually help. I also think it is a bit crap kinetic only works if you are standing and the games looked quite poor as well

I'll be getting it.

I have a group of friends who are not gamers at all. When we get together we generally play Singstar, or Wii Bowling, if we're not playing a board game like cranium or family fortunes etc.. This is the perfect compliment to that.

I like tech. I bought the HD-DVD drive (still have it) even though I knowe if might have no shelf life. This will enable me to be even lazier. What not to like?

I can see my very young kids being able to play thiese games from a very early age, and get involved. My wife who plays very little will play. Thats a win win for me. Its expensive but so was my PS3 and even my Wii.  In fact the only bit of game tech I've ever regretted buying was the Wii Balance Board. The only thin that thing did was measure your distribution of weight. KLinect might work out equally gimmicky but I think even with what is being bundled, this is the choice over the move.

Move doesnt interest me at all. The only reason I use the wiimote is that it is the only way to play some of these games. If I can use the controller at all I'm gonna use that. Plus all this talk about re-registering when I switch players, not being able to move when playing etc makes the whole thing pointless to me.

Anyway, my 2 d.

You have to stand – up to use it… i mean come on! Imagine getting into a hardcore 3+ hour session in your fav kinect game…… You would be shattered. Balls to that tbh

Move is my motion controller of choice. Far more accurate, far more responsive and real potential of some very inovative games. Also, with dead space extraction coming to the PS3, i see no reason to get a wii anymore (other than maybe mario galaxy).

Kinect can suck it. I almost bought the new 360 recently, thinking that it came with kinect and finally had built in wifi. Turns out it only has the kinect power port on the back of it. So that's:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Xbox-3…..amp;sr=8-1

And

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Kinect…..=1-1-spell

all for the low low price of £320.

Or…..

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-P…..amp;sr=1-1

and

http://www.amazon.co.uk/PlaySt…..amp;sr=1-1

all for the low low price of £300… Difference being, you get a superior product from a company that doesent try to charge you for online play and gives you a top of the range bluray player included in the package. I'm not a PS3 fanboy (even though i did say superior product), im just trying to state the obvious

Oh and it also has 3D enabled games……………. 

In those they both clearly stated that sitting or laying have to be coded for into the game am pretty sure as far as titles we know of so far they haven't.

Oh yeah, im sure that you can sit down and use it… but as dudester says, it needs to be coded into the games. At the moment, non of the games on the lineup are sitdown and play. Not only that, does anyone actually want any of the games on the lineup? For 'core' gamers like us, it seems kinda pointless.

PS3 Move has been made with core gamers in mind. Killzone3, SoCom and even sorcery looks like the sort of game i would play. I don't really want to be arguing about which controller (or lack there of) is the best, i just can't help but notice that at the moment, the Move really does seem to have the upper hand.

Sure it's pretty much ripping off the Wii, but its not only improving the concept but bringing it to HD games. Basicly its Sonys way of beating the Nintendo to the Wii – HD.

I don't understand. I haven't heard of these problems before, it sounds like you just made them up on the spot. Please elaborate.

I'm sure I've heard it in numerous places but Jeff Cannata from the Totally Rad Show and Weekend Confirmed definitely mentioned previously that when they were playing 'the fight' game that they were told that although your natural instinct was to move your feet while playing, that if you did the control scheme wouldnt work. Might be one game, who knows? As for the resetting or resyncing I've heard on numerous podcasts that it has to calibrate the globe thing with your height etc. and the whole thing takes around 30 secs.

As for Kinect, I'm pretty sure the RGB uses body heat for detecting the person and then there is also another camera there for depth of field (which I dont know if low level light will effect, but definitely those pods at E3 they set up were pretty low light). 

As for the games, I'll still be playing Socom and Killzone 3. Just not using the Move, and as I said about the Kinect games, I'm not fussed at the moment about the hardcore gaming experiences. They will come in time. My pile of shame is large enough without adding to it.

I'm not here to promote one of these techs over the other, as there are a lot of unanswered questions about the 2 of them and everyones lives are different. I see Kinect fits better into my lifestyle. Move, I could pick up in a year or so, who knows. Much like everyone else here, it'll depend on when a game I must play comes out that only supports that mode of motion control.
