Sony to release Move demos on PSN News • News • Eurogamer.net

News PlayStation 3

For those who don't buy the bundle.

Sony will offer PlayStation Move demos to download on PSN for those who don't buy the bundle that includes a Move controller, PlayStation Eye camera and playable demo disc.

After a US PlayStation Blog reader inquired about it (via Siliconera), Sony's Amy Sheth responded: "Most of the demos will be up after launch. Stay tuned for PlayStation Store updates."

This will provide a means of getting the demos for PS3 owners who already own an Eye and choose to buy Move controllers separately.

PlayStation Move is released in Europe on 17th September. Ellie wasn't quite bowled over by launch titles Start the Party and Sports Champions, but our own blacksmith of the future, Digital Foundry's Rich Leadbetter, argues for the "raw potential" of Sony's motion controller in his compelling Case for PS Move.

Good thing for the peeps who already have the camera. To everybody else it seems like the most obvious thing in the world to get the bundle, since it saves you heaps and heaps of money... Seriously, is ANYONE not getting the bundle but buying everything separate?

you can get the camera for �22, the move controller for �28. the bundle is �43 with demo disk and you can download demos for free. So i wouldnt call saving �7 heaps of money. Anyway I already have the camera so this is good news.

< RANT > first of all "this" friday is not the 17th of September. Second of all why does the UK and IRE have to wait 2 extra days for move. The official EU release date for move is Wednesday the 15th of September. Last time i checked we were part of EU < / RANT >

Cool, I know some games are supposed to be patched (kids have toy story 3), but good if Ruse will work on day 1!

Great news!

Oli, don't you mean NEXT Friday, 17th September - not THIS Friday? This Friday is the 10th. Unless of course you wrote that from THE FUTURE!!!

Edited to say DOH! Bradach beat me to it

So wait a minute. US buyers get Sports Champions bundled with the Starter pack and we just get the demos, which are available to download for free anyway. Ripped off again!

good news. i wonder how it will work without the controller. i have the camera and other then using it (with difficulty) playing Eyepet with my daughter, it has been largely redundant.

Excellent. I already have the eye so all I need is 1 controller, if the impressions are good I may start adding to the setup. Not exactly a risky prospect

I already have the RUSE demo downloaded and PSeye for �10 ready for when I get a motion controller. The real problem is what full game(s) to get. (before any says, I'm not enough of a fan of rts to buy RUSE yet it's still a fun demo though)

Ive pre-ordered RE5 for �13, i thought that was an easy decision to make to be honest for that price and will probably get or at least try RUSE. From all the good press the only move developed game i will probably get at release is sports champions, though i dont want to pay �25 for it so hopefully some good deals around.

@DAN:SOLO

Perhaps the answer to your question is that "its nothing new just a copy of nintendo"... is bollox.

Edit: and also, what is wrong with a change of opinion? You say it like its a bad thing. Better to change your opinion as new information and options come to light, rather than stubbornly sticking to a point of view that fails to move with the times, some might say.

"Cos this site is filled with Sony fanboy tools who worship at the altar of PS3."

Does that include me?

"Does that include me? "

In his book, probably.

He is, after all, a die-hard XBox fan - not the normal ones, mind, but the kind that think appreciation of anything outside of their zone of "likes" is heresy
