It's been over a year and they are still selling it with Sports Champions. The game can now be had for $10-$20 depending on where you go and Sony is still selling the system for $400. I haven't played my Move in about a year. I know there are still people enjoying it though so I wanted to see what your thoughts are?

They are treating it as an addition to the PS3, not a necessity so they only provide Move Support for games because it's easy and cheap to implement and gives people an optional way to play unlike MS who capitalizing on motion control as a main feature to bring in some more $$$. I don't see why they should retire it when it's not like they are losing money from it or turning away customers.

True, it is an added choice but I don't feel there's much excitement about Sports Champions. Shouldn't they change the game or add another one? Or create a non-Move bundle? Or is Sports Champions still an adequate bundle?

Yeah probably a better option to include KZ3 or something that uses it pretty well. There are quite a few games now that use Move so they should have a couple of bundle choices.

That's a pretty good idea. It would be even better if they put the Sharpshooter in with it.

I don't see why, even tho I have no interest in it.

If people are using it and enjoying it, then they should keep selling it.

They offered SOCOM 4 Move bundle, Tiger Woods 12 Move Bundle, and I think I read somewhere Resistance 3 Move bundle. They *ARE* changing the games up on it. At least the bundle you buy just for move as an add-on, not the one that comes with the 320GB system.

They will probably add a new system bundle eventually as well, but Sony in general doesn't do alot of bundles anyway...they have already done a Killzone 3 bundle and a Black Ops bundle alraedy this year. They just haven't done a new 320GB Move System bundle yet...I'm sure another one is coming eventually though...

Nah. Motion controls needs to stay for sports games. Especially golf and tennis. Not so much maybe for other sports.

I haven't tried it on a shooter yet because I'm too cheap to get a navigation controller. Eventually I will though. Come to think of it I should grab one this weekend, I've delayed it long enough. :P
