Playstation Move, Sony’s Ps3 Motion Controller | Ishopvideogame
Sony’s upcoming motion controller finally has a name–the PlayStation Move–and it looks like a pair of aircraft traffic wands with glowing blue and pink bulbs on the ends. The company announced the name during the 2010 Games Developer Conference before proceeding to demonstrate several games and inviting attendees to give the technology a spin for themselves.
The buzzword throughout the presentation: Precision. From SCE Worldwide Studios President Shuhei Yoshida’s inaugural lines (“A more precise, immersive, and responsive game experience”) to SCE Senior Vice President of Marketing Peter Dille’s use of the word over a dozen times thereafter, it sounds like Sony plans to square off against Nintendo and Microsoft by leveraging the Move’s fine motor tracking capabilities.
When it ships this fall, Sony says the Move will sell in three configurations: A version with just the Move wands for those who already own the requisite PlayStation Eye camera, another option with the Eye, the Move wands, and a game, and a full bundle to include the Eye, Move wands, a game, and the PlayStation 3 console.
The “Eye, Move wands, and game” option should sell for “under $100,” said Dille.
The company then demonstrated several motion-control games, starting with a medieval sword-and-shield beat-em-up. From right or left hand slashes to shield blocks to a hands-behind-your-back stance that triggers taunts, the Move–tracked by the Eye–appeared capable of deftly processing every gesture and angle.
Table tennis was up next, and Sony demonstrated how subtle shifts in wrist rolling or pitching could produce any of the effects a physical paddle would, from harder or softer hits and various types of spin to near court swats and far court slams.
Covering the family angle with a game that looked suspiciously like an EyeToy demo, Move Party used the PlayStation Move to “augment” reality by placing you–literally, as in a video stream snapped with the Eye–in micro-arenas with changing motion-related challenges. First, the demonstrator’s Move wand became a tennis racket (or as Sony described it, the racket was “augmented onto” the controller) to swat objects that appeared around her. Next, the Move became a paint brush and the demonstrator had to color in shapes without going outside the lines before a timer ran out. At one point, the Move wand even morphed into a portable hand-fan, the demonstrator yawing her wrist to redirect airflow and guide falling baby chicks into nests on either side of the display.
Existing games were also shown using slight Move modifications. A cooperative-angled demo of LittleBigPlanet allowed one player with a regular PS3 gamepad controlling the onscreen character to play in tandem with a second player, who used one of the Move wands to manipulate the environment and ease progress.
In a surprise move, the company trotted out a complementary product it calls the “sub-controller” (see pic above). Think Nintendo’s nunchuk, because that’s what it is–an analog thumbstick with buttons you hold in one hand while waving one of the Move wands in the other. Sony noted you can play “all the way through” SOCOM 4 (shipping this fall) using a Move wand and the sub-controller.
Dille called the PlayStation Move Sony’s “biggest effort of the year” and noted the company plans a major marketing push, so brace yourself for TV spots, retail promotions, public relations campaigns, billboards, and who knows, probably some stealth-viral stuff rattling around out there too.

Ps3 Hdmi – Good Piece Of Kit
I don’t see why anyone would buy this one over the PS3 HDMI 120gb. The price difference is around £40, which is the cost of a 250 GB hard drive. Therefore you could buy a PS3 HDMI 120gb and a 250GB hard drive and have spent the same amount of money as buying a PS3 HDMI 250GB, but you have an additional 120GB hard drive. there’s no other difference in the two versions of the PS3 HDMI.
Other then that, this bit of kit is just as good as the PS3 HDMI 120GB. I’ve has a PS3 HDMI 80GB and believe me, it’s worth getting rid of for one of the slim versions. The slim version may not have the shinny finish (which gets scratched up very easily) or the extra USB slots, card readers and PS2 capabilities, which the 60GB version has, but it is quieter, drinks less electric and spews out less heat and the main thing is that it is smaller and lighter.
PS3 HDMI – Great Configuration, Great Console
A lot of people have written about the pros and cons of the PS3 HDMI vs. XBOX 360 vs. Wii. I’m not bothering with that, and assume you can find that information at elsewhere. I’m also assuming you can read all about why the PS3 HDMI would or would not fit your needs.
Instead, I’d like this review to explain what exactly this configuration is (there’s a lot of confusion about that,) and why I think it hits the sweet spot. Basically, there are currently 2 versions of the PS3 HDMI on the market now. Ignoring the size of the drive for a second (because you can always swap the drive anyway, and it has no real bearing on the rest of the specs) think of them as Version A (currently available – or not as the case may be – in the PS3 HDMI 80 GB Metal Gear Solid 4 Pack) and Version B (this one.)
The first thing that you need to understand is that there are three relevant differences between these two versions besides the included bundle and the price (the MGS one is $499 from amazon, more from third parties.)
Difference #1: Version A (MGS pack) is backward compatible with PS2 games while this one is NOT (they are both backward compatible with PS1 games however.)
Difference #2: Version A has 4 USB ports as well as memory card slots, while this version has only 2 USB ports and NO memory card slots.
Difference #3: AND THIS FOR ME IS BIG: Version A has the older and larger 90nm Cell processor, while this one has the smaller (and some say more reliable) 65nm Cell processor. Power consumption on this unit is lower as well, dropping from 200 Watts to 135 watts. The end result is a machine that runs cooler and, according to all reports as well as my personal experience, much quieter. An extremely relevant factor if you watch movies with it.
For those that have been looking for a while, this is basically the 40GB machine that was offered recently, with a larger hard drive and an upgraded controller – they replaced the basic sixaxis controller with the Dualshock 3 controller (which means it has rumble.)
Now Version A is packaged with Metal Gear Solid. It has an 80GB drive like this one, and the same controller. The big differences are listed above. Until this configuration was released, the larger hard drive and Dualshock controller were 2 of the 4 reasons many people felt the MGS pack was worth the additional $100. Those two factors are now eliminated. The remaining differences are the backward compatibility with PS2 games and the MGS game itself, which can of course be bought separately.
So to sum it up, if you NEED PS2 compatibility, you might want to grab the MGS pack if you can get one – that or keep your old PS2. For new buyers though, and for all of the people that are going to just play Ps3 Games, as well as avid movie watchers, this particular configuration is fantastic. You get the big drive, the good controller, PLUS the cooler running chip, a quieter machine and a system that uses about 33% less power.
And ok – just to satisfy the basic requirements of a review, I’ll list some other nice stuff: It includes a Blu-ray DVD player (one of those runs almost as much as, or more than, this entire box), the online play is FREE, wireless connectivity is built in (you don’t have to buy an additional piece as with some others), reliability has been quite good (much better than some others), there are some great PS3 HDMI -only titles, and you can stream media to it from your PC. There’s more, but there are plenty of people outlining it.
As always, do your research and see what’s best for you. Maybe the 360-only titles are must haves for you, or maybe your family fits a Wii. We have a Wii and I love it. But I also love my PS3, and in my opinion this configuration is the one to get (this month anyway.)

The school ball limousine experience
The School Ball is the biggest social event on the high school calendar and a night every teenager looks forward to.
It is a very special event in a teenager’s life, as they celebrate leaving high school and moving on to the next phase of their lives.
An enormous amount of preparation takes place for this special night especially for the girls!
One of the first things students organise for their school ball is organising their transport to and from the ball.
Students today have so many different Limousine hire options available to them. Limousine hire used to be quite limited with most limousines looking the same – NOT today.
Limousines hire in Perth today ranges from stretch Ford and Holden limousines, Hummer & Chrysler Limousines some with Lamborghini doors, limo bus & coach limousines, classic limousines including GT and Ford Tudor stretch limousines, party buses, sedans and trams.
Students are no longer just looking for a vehicle that takes them to their school ball. They want the limo experience of a life time complete with the party atmosphere and entertainment.
The limousines currently on the streets of Perth are decked out with the most amazing interiors some boasting Sony PS3, DVD’s, starlight roof, LED and fibre optic lighting, multi coloured LED under floor lighting, Lounge and booth style seating, flat screen tv’s, multiple flat screen tv’s, karaoke, plush leather seating, mood lighting, lighting with choice of colours, up to $30,000 stereo systems, sub woofers, smoke machines and even dance floors.
With all this on offer who wouldn’t want to arrive at their school ball in one of Perth’s hottest limousines.
