Check out the latest video from Sony about the Playstation Move featuring Anton Mikhailov from Playstation R&D.

Playstation Move arrives in stores September 19, 2010.

Capcom revealed that the patch to enable Playstation Move support in Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition will be available September 19, 2010 (the same date Playstation Move officially launches).

The Move controls will be available under the main story mode, and under multiplayer online mode.  You will also be able to mix and match controller configurations, for example, player 1 can use Move while player 2 uses a Dual Shock Controller, etc.

Watch for the Playstation Move patch coming September 19, 2010 at the same time as the Move is released.

Want a Playstation 3?  Need more space than your existing PS3 has?  Sony is pleased to announce this month and next, you’ll have two new options for the Playstation 3 console.

Option one is a 160GB PS3 system that comes with a new, larger hard drive (33% more capacity than current models) and one controller (Netflix integration is advertised as well).  This model will sell for $299.99 (MSRP) and is available NOW.

Option two will be a 320GB PS3 system that will arrive September 19, 2010 and will be sold as a Playstation Move Bundle.  Complete with a larger hard drive and a DualShock controller, this unit will also ship with one Playstation Move controller, a Playstation Eye camera, a copy of the Sports Champions game, and a bonus game demo disc.  This model will sell for $399.99 (MSRP).

Sony is saying that the Playstation 3 and Move are the future of gaming, and now that the Playstation 3 can imitate the Wii, I think it’s true that it can do just about everything.

According to Destructiod, Sony is planning on installing Playstation Move kiosks at several Best Buy’s and Wal-Mart’s across the United States to promote the motion controlled gaming peripheral.

The kiosks will be ready on September 11, 2010 and should stay in stores until January 2011 so you have plenty of time to decide if you want to purchase it or not.

Playstation Move will be available for purchase September 19, 2010.

If you have a copy of Resident Evil 5 and are expecting a patch for Playstation Move support, better listen up.  Sony has revealed that the only copies of the game that will get Move support are the Gold Editions of Resident Evil 5. 

"This will only work with RE5 copies labeled ‘Gold Edition’ — the original version of RE5 won’t be receiving the patch, for technical reasons" – Sony’s Sid Shuman

Playstation Move will be available September 19, 2010.

If you’re planning on buying a Playstation Move, you might be interested to know some of the games that will be available at launch of the motion-controlled peripheral. 

The following games will be available for Move at launch:

EyePet
Sports Champion
Beat Sketch
High Velocity Bowling
Kung Fu Rider
Time Crisis Razing Storm

Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition will also be compatible with Move (at launch) via a software update.

Playstation Move arrives on September 19, 2010 in the United States.

A new Michael Jackson-based game is coming to all consoles in November 2010, and this time it will get you to move like Michael.

Michael Jackson: The Experience is coming to Wii, PS3, DS, PSP, and Xbox 360 and will take full advantage of the Wii MotionPlus, Playstation Move, and Xbox 360 Kinect as it gets players to move like Michael Jackson and sing his hits.

According to Eurogamer, the game will function similarly to Just Dance, and the handheld versions will function like the tap-based game Elite Beat Agents. 

More details will be coming soon!

Activision COO Thomas Tippi told reporters that they didn’t have any Move or Kinect content at E3 because they’re hesitant to support the technology with its high selling price.

"I think as a publisher, you have to be concerned about how the price drives a lot of the outcome of how big of an install base there’s going to be.  The bigger the install base, the more likely that you can make sense out of your investment. So, the lower the price, the better. In this economic environment, it’s probably more important than ever."

"Move and Kinect, I think, will be interesting new opportunities to innovate certain franchises, but probably not for every kind of game. So, we’ll have to see how much of an install base they’re going to develop."

"We have a few franchises where we think this could be an interesting value to improve the experience for the player. Tony Hawk is an example. We have our Rapala Fishing franchise. But it’s not going to be something that will be in every game, because I don’t think it’s one size fits all. It’s not going to enhance the experience for every game."

OUCH!  Well I think that he has a good point, and that’s why they stand behind Nintendo and the Wii.  The low cost aspect of the games and the console really impressed Activision and has kept their support strong throughout the years.

I remember Activision threatening Sony to lower the price of the PS3 a year ago, or they were no longer going to make games for the Playstation 3.  Activision knows that if the tech is high, they won’t sell games, so they’re going to be on the side of lower prices.

Playstation Move will be available September 19, 2010.
