While I was pre-ordering Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood and I noticed Move stocked up so I Lol'd but then I asked with a smile on my face "So how's Move doing?". To my suprise the employee said " It's been doing really well, we've finally been able to keep up with stock now".

Suprise suprise I guess. I myself don't care for either Move or Kinect.

A salesman is always going to tell you somthing is selling good just so you can fall for the hype and buy one yourself.

so had he said halo reach was selling well, he would've obviously been lying about that too right.

It's so true! My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who worked at 31 flavors near the lakeline Mall Gamestop, and she said it looked like they sold out of Move. I guess it's pretty serious.

That's right, they're a bunch of liars! The only people to trust nowadays are xbox fanboys and Microsoft employees.

Oh and Vgchartz whenever they publish better sales for xbox.:roll:

You can ask them how's poo on a stick doing and they'll say it's doing just fine. They see you as a potential buyer for what you're asking for and will not discourage you in any way from buying it.

anyone buy the bundle set? how is the ps3 eye packaged in the bundle?

reason im asking is. i bought the xboxlive chattbundle at walmart 2 years ago. and everything in the bundle was packaged just like the stand alone item in the store. so i took pgr4 and the chatt pad back and got a gift card for em. the clerks scanned em and they came right up as 40 bucks each. so i got a head set a 1year goldcard in the bundle for free. no the bundle was 69.99 so i made 10 bucks:P

if i buy the move bundle at wal-mart i can use the 39.99 the eye costs **since i already have one* to buy a second move controller or a sub controller

Pretty certain they are bundled into 1 so you don't have 2 separate boxes within, just the one box

well that xboxlive bundle was all in one box and there was alot of stuff in it. the box wasnt very big. all the stuff inside was sealed just like the stand alone items on the shelvs. ps3 eye isnt that big. so im guessing its sealed like the chattpad was. unless it has a not to be resold sticker on it.

Look for unboxing videos of the playstation move starter thingy. Admittedly its different from what I could get hewre in the UK, but Im pretty sure the bundle here in the UK has them all in one box minus their original boxes when bought seperately.

the trick for good sales. is to keep stock low to force people to buy on the spot. or risk it not being there on the persons next trip. or risk shopping around at alot of places. everyone does it

Depends what sort of games you are going to play. If you are wanting to play an fps then a nav controller and a move controler will be fine, currently all the titles really oinly support move controllers rather than nav controllers though,

I went with 2 controllers. Sport Champions games like gladiator and archery are more fun with 2 controllers. Navigation controller is optional, you can always use your normal sixaxis controller as a navigation controller.

thats right because sony arnt known to support there playstation products for very long........ps2 has only been going for 10 years, and even though psp has massive piracy it's still getting support as well.....I dont think you need to worry to much.....

well they havent done the same with pos3 so far. i bought the ps3 eye with the game eyeof judgement. cool game, but there wasnt anything else for it really. i was about to sell it untill i heard ps3 move would need it to work. they also gave up on sixasix controls this gen. to me sony hasnt stuck with anything for ps3. thats why im kinda scared to invist my money into move. for all we know they could have a new cam that works better with 3D or something right around the corner.
