A discussion about the Playstation Move.

Yes. Playstation Move is a retarded name, anything could've been better(Playstation Arc sounds badass in comparison even). Also, yes, Playstation Move is an almost complete ripoff of the Wii's Controller. Get over it.

Get over it. The only thing that makes product experience better is competition in between competing brands, and everyone knows that the Wii needs a little competition. It's also worthy competition that Sony is putting out, according to early reports from people that are testing out the pre-alpha stuff now. Hell, people are saying that the Socom 4 demo is actually playing well. The Move is apparently providing a much more accurate portrayal of your actions than the Wii controller is. I was tempted to buy the Wii before, but I was displeased with how it felt(especially for the FPS's), maybe the Move can give me what I want with this idea of gaming. 
 
Point of the story is, Playstation Move is a good idea. If you're complaining that it's not because it's a ripoff of the Wii's controller, than I encourage all of you to return every dual-joystick controller supported console to your local Gamestop, because that controller idea is also ripped off. 
 
Yes, the orb looks silly, but it's necessary for the PSEye to capture the position of the controller. 
 
That's all I have to say about that.
