This product is worth the money.
I got these products and the are amazing. It is not as good as the Kinect of course but they are still great. I recommend them as a must have for playstation.

Copy Cat and a waste of money.
PlayStation Move is a copy of the Wii I have one. This is the biggest waste of money available. Do not waste your money people. Get a Wii or Xbox 360 they are both great systems. I would not recommend the PlayStation Move to anyone.

Beats the wii
It works so well. The PlayStation eye makes it easy because on the PlayStation eye you can zoom out or zoom in. If you do zoom out you can stand almost anywhere in your room or living room and it still works. The PlayStation move is a good way to make 1st person and 3rd person games a lot of fun.

Copy Cat but great None the less
Move Controllers
These things are awesome, however they are more or less a knock off of the Wii. They are high quality, great design, but that doesn’t hide the fact that they played copy cat.
For sword games, they work great, for shooters, they work great, for party mini games, they work great. So far I have played these with killzone 3, resistance 3, start the party, Puss in boots, and a few other cartoonish type sword games.
The feel is great. The Wii controllers were square, so not a “natural” fit to your hand, these are round, and the trigger is farther up inside it, so it fits better. Just like the Wii it uses a 3 axis, which captures every movement. Swinging horizontally, vertically, at an angle, flipping it, twisting it, etc. In general the only thing it doesn’t pick up, is if you cover the ball on the end, which includes pointing it away from the sensor so that the controller is blocking it’s own ball at the end.
I love these. I’m a hardcore gamer so I’m typically playing much more complex games that can’t handle these controller, but sony as always is setting the bar. Killzone 3 is pretty fun with it, resistance 3 is also fun, but the game itself isn’t that great. Lot of party games and stuff are very fun with these, and a lot of the good ones such as “Start the party” require these. Considering how expensive these are, I recommend that you start with no more then 2. If you have 4 kids, or kids with friends that demand 4 player games, you’d be surprised how many of the move games are actually one controller, that you take turns with. Start the party is the game I’d recommend most for this, amazing party game, it’s 4 player, and requires only one controller. It has you take turns, and keeps score between the players. Lots of fun, and healthy competitive competition.
A popular question is “how accurate are the sensors?” The answer is very. Now in the heat of battle on some more complex games like Killzone 3, it might be slightly delayed, but it is very accurate none the less. Star the Party is the perfect example. You hold everywhere from a flashlight which has a beam of light coming from it, a flag, a tennis racket, a fly swatter, a hammer, etc. Every movement you do is copied exactly. Weather it’s twisting, bending, rotating, flicking, poking, stabing, slicing, etc etc etc, it does it precisely.
Another bonus they have is the built in rechargeable batteries. I spend at least 100$ on batteries for xbox 360 every year, so built in recharge is great. However, you need to realize that it plugs in with that Usb plug in the PS3. The downside is the PS3 has to be on while you charge it. You swing this thing like crazy, so if you dared to try using it while it is charging, u’d most likely rip the cord out of the controller, or ps3, likely damaging a plug on one of them. I HIGHLY recommend buying a charging stand that plugs into the wall. The charging stands are relatively cheap in design, but they do their part.
Note. These do NOT come with any way to recharge them (no usb cord, no outlet plug, no recharging stand) you must already have the usb cable (comes with the console when u bought it) buy a new one, or buy a recharging stand. Don’t expect to get a plug for every controller.
2nd Note. These do not fit on the recharging stand for the default Playstation controller. That stand is shaped for the default controllers, these long yet thin controllers don’t fit, and for good reason. If they stuck out horizontally they would damage the plugs on the stand. That’s why the stand made for these, has them sit vertically.
Popular belief is that you need a set of both the move controller, and the move navigator to play games. This is not true, they are sold separate for a reason. Listen up cause this will save you money. The navigator is a narrow version of the left side of the traditional playstation controller. Most games including Killzone 3, Resistance 3, can be played with the move controller (this controller) and the default playstation controller (the one that comes with the system) instead of a navigation controller. Many move games especially the party games, fitness games, and cartoon type games either require just this controller, or two of these, not the navigation or default at all. So before you jump to buying a navigation controller for each move controller, rethink that. The biggest reason anyone gets the navigation controller, is because they are unaware that the default controller can work in place of it, or cause they think it’s required. In reality, the only reason you need the navigation with this, is if you plan on using the playstation sharp shooter, or other form of rifle controller. The default controller wont sit in the navigation slot.
Final note. This is a Sony product that is built to last, not a Microsoft product that is built to last a year or two tops. So to me, the used version from Gamestop is just as good. If there are any problems with it, they take it back and get you one that does work. It’s only a few bucks less then the new version, but keep in mine the 15% off with power up rewards members. Not to mention Gamestop makes no profit off new products, all their product comes from used stuff. Buying something used helps keep them in buisiness.
