Remember that rumor a couple years back of PS3 motion control gaming being based around a pull-apart DualShock 3 ? Well, perhaps it wasn’t such a wild idea after all. No DualShock 3s have been harmed in the making of Move , but Joystiq has just confirmed that you can actually use the existing controller for Move gaming instead of springing for the Navigation Controller if you’d like.

Sprint and Verizon may have shunned the Nexus One , but that doesn’t mean the handsets can’t be put to good use: these Android-controlled, Arduino-powered Cellbots now feature the one true Googlephone as the CPU.

Sony’s been pretty fuzzy on pricing for the PlayStation Move — we’ve only really heard “under $100″ for the full package with controller and camera — but it looks like the numbers are starting to solidify, as Gamestop Canada has the controller itself now listed for $59.99. How that number will translate into a US price is obviously up in the air, but Sony’s MSRPs tend to be the same or similar across the US and Canada, so we’d say we’ve at least got a reasonable estimate of how much this thing is going to cost. We’d also guess that this points to a full package price of $99, but we’ll see — Sony’s got months before the Move’s planned holiday launch to tweak all these numbers.

Sure, it’s got the old name but Sony’s ” Motion Controller ” CECH-ZCM1U is undoubtedly Sony’s new PlayStation Move controller. There’s not much to glean from the tests (yes, it passed) other than the specific mention of a Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR radio. The rest of the filing is under a 180 day confidentiality request good until September — a bit earlier than Sony’s reported ” holiday ” launch plans

When Sony unveiled its PlayStation Move (nee Arc ) controller at the GDC last week , it came along with some impressive promises : it would only cost developers 2MB of system memory (out of 256MB on offer) and it would respond to user inputs within a single frame of animation. Our own experiences with the thing felt a bit more laggy, and now Eurogamer is echoing those impressions and putting a bit of science behind them courtesy of a 60fps Kodak Zi6 camcorder. By filming the controllers and their on-screen representation, the site’s tireless statisticians calculated an actual lag ( including that of the display) of 113ms — closer to 10 frames if a game is running at 60fps.

While it’s a crying shame that Sony’s PlayStation Move won’t have full four-player support , at least the technology is efficient; our buddies at Joystiq are reporting that the camera-and-wand based motion control game system will only minimally impact game performance. Quizzing Sony’s David Coombes, they found out that the advanced image processing required to make sense of your wild, flailing movements will take only 1-2 MB of RAM.

So you do your research, you read up on everything important about the PS3’s new Move controller , and you consider yourself well prepared for a future of wild merrymaking and multiplayer gaming parties. And then you find out you can’t use four full sets of controllers with your console. As it turns out, the PS3’s Bluetooth module is only fit to address up to seven wireless devices at a time, which poses something of a puzzler when you consider that you need a pair of Move controllers (or a Move plus a sub-controller) to get your money’s worth and four times two is, well, a number greater than seven.
