The move needs to be half that price. That is all I have to say.

Indeed, it is a bit expensive, but it beats the crap out of Natal...

how does it beat kenic? you buy one piece of hardware, and you can support 4 players...how much money do you have to drop to do the same with move? Dont forget the nun-chucks for "real" games.

pay close attention...if we were talking about 1 player playing move, it wouldn't be a big deal, the price of the 2 is about the same for me (i have a ps3, but no eyetoy) However, as I said, if i were to buy kenic, I wouldn't need any additional hardware to play with my gf, or any of my friends. I cant say the same with move. Its the wii all over again. Looking at most of the titles for both motion controllers, they are going for casual/party games, aka more than 1 player to play.

Also, i dont buy all those unnecessary things like a wifi adapter for my 360, but extra move controllers ARE necessary to have fun with these types of games. This is on top of a pretty large price point for just Wii-HD games.

oh, one more point, the thing about kenic is that you can still use it with a normal controller with it, so you can still get tactile feedback. It just depends on how developers make use of the new hardware.

with that said, I'm probably not gonna get either...maybe when they are super cheap I'll take the plunge....maybe.

Arguing the cost merits of Move vs Natal, erm, Kinetic, umm, Kinect, is a little bit redundant. They're both too expensive as unnecessary add ons. The Wiimote beats both hands down on outright standard acceptability, and without that, they'll relatively be left twisting in the wind. I mean, Move includes an add on to an add on to an add on for Pete's sake - that's fragmentary. If you're going to account properly, then don't forget that a Wiimote with motion plus and a wii remote comes with every Wii sold, that Move requires a camera on top (forgot about that, didn't you!), and that a new 'non-core' Xbox purchaser will certainly need at least 1 extra real controller as almost all of the multiplayer games available to them wil still demand one.

"He acknowledged that rival platforms Xbox 360 and Wii have their own motion control systems but commented, "The difference comes down to one word: realism.""

Didn't saw the press conference, did he give a hint, why Move's controls are so different and more realistic?

Kinect is the next level! Not another stick in hand... simple as that...

People complain about anything and everything, it's what people do.
If it was free, people would complain that it doesn't match the color of their TV. ;)

IMHO, the cost for either product (assuming the Kinect is $150 or less) doesn't feel too high. They're priced similarly to other successful peripherals released this generation (Wii Fit and the Rock Band Instruments).

I don't think cost will be much of an issue. They just need at least one 'Killer Ap' to succeed.

Yes, they will both need a killer game to go with them to succeed or they will just float off and be forgotten like the EyeToy.

this stuff was really awesome years ago when it was called the wii-mote. this industry is about to go on life support.
