Customer Reviews

Taking the move out of the box gave me mixed emotions as soon as I started hooking up the equipment. As most ps3 slim owners know there is only 2 usb ports and they are both in the front. The move/eye camera requires one of these usb ports and is kind of messy with the wire coming around the back. But regardless you get it hooked up and I first notice I can navigate the XMB menu with the move controller! That's a +1 over Xbox who has there own little reserved menu for Kinect that has no functionality yet ( I know there's an update coiming..).
So I'm ready to play the tiger woods golf game of my life! I own all 3 consoles + pc so I know a good product when I see it, and I bought the Wii motion plus with tiger woods back when it came out, so I'm hoping for a similar experience. Once I got in the game and on the course, I found Move has a bit of a learning curve. This is partially the games fault, but multiple controls have you hold down 2 buttons while point the move in a certain direction. No problem for me, but my dad couldn't pick up on it as fast as the wii version was. I could tell it was working very similar to the wiimotion plus, although I couldn't tell if I really needed the camera to do this ball tracking that I couldn't see going on. It was kind of frustrating to the point when the controller died and we resorted to the old fashion dualshock, gameplay became 10x easier. My father and I we're cruising across Augusta no thanks to Move, and we didn't even have to get out of our seats.
I'm sure Sony and developers are trying to think of ways to use this but the way I see it this is more of a toy than a must have accessory. After using it I kind of treat it as the Wii motion plus on a better system in HD, but sadly that's where the comparisons end, and I think Sony was just like "we're gonna make a wii controller, but incorporate our Eye Camera we've sold for years, and hope developers want to use it." I just feel better using Kinect instead this Wii rip off, but people who never owned a Wii might like this next gen version. I have not tried Killzone 3 so maybe there's room for me to accept Move, but for now I'm not exactly "moved".

I like the move control system for High Velocity Bowling and Sports Champions. I also own Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2012. I'm not a big fan of that edition of the game(prefer 2010 ps3) but with this move/eye camera package they're essentially throwing the game in for free.
Buying a swivel mount for the eye camera I found to be an essential add on. You can also use velcro to firmly attache the eye camera. Depending on the move game and how high your television is the camera placement could be top of the TV center or at the base of the TV center. You should keep in mind that the camera needs to 'see' the move controller to work properly so be mindful of any obstructions between the camera and the controller.
You can buy a dedicated charging station for the move controller or just let it recharge through a usb cable connection to the ps3 while you're playing a game with the dual shock controller(what I do). I've never had a problem with my move controller being too low on charge to function. If all you want to do is game with the move than you should probably invest in a dedicated charging station for it to save power. ie: A ps3 slim draws 60-80 watts/hr and a charging station will draw about 1 watt/hr and doesn't need to be on for more than a few hours a day.
I've found the system to be fairly accurate and reliable. I've had mine for over a year and I've even banged it around some and it's still working fine. Like any technological gadget there will be a learning curve but if you exercise patience and observation I think you'll find this to be a satisfying device to add a physical dimension to your gaming.
