Sony dropped a lot of knowledge on us yesterday, at long last replacing rampant speculation with some cold hard facts — and even a name! — for its new PlayStation motion controller.

PlayStation Move: everything you ever wanted to know
We didn’t exactly get the best look at Sony’s new ultra-compact concept camera at PMA last month, but the company is now thankfully starting to reveal a few more details about the “DSLR quality” camera.

At last, we’ve felt Sony’s long awaited motion controller, now at last officially known as ” PlayStation Move ,” in our unworthy, sweaty hands. We have a bunch of videos on the way, but for now you can revel in our first close-ups of the controllers in the gallery below. Here are some of our initial thoughts: The controllers are light

PlayStation Move first hands-on (update: video!)
No surprise here: Sony just officially announced the PlayStation Move motion controller at GDC 2010, calling it the “next generation of motion gaming” because it’s so precise — latency is about the same as the DualShock 3. As expected, it uses the PlayStation Eye camera to track the controller, and Sony says it becomes an “extension of your body.” The plan is not only to engage casual gamers, but to use the precision of the controller to create “new experiences for core gamers” — many of the demo videos we saw involved using a controller video in each hand, and there were quote a few demos of action / RPG games. We also saw a demo of Move Party, which uses the camera to do augmented reality gaming and video chat.

We just got underway at Sony’s PlayStation Move motion controller event. Sure, they haven’t called it “Move,” just yet, but we just saw the “Move” moniker on a demo screen at the side of the stage, so we’re feeling pretty confident at this point

Live from Sony’s ‘PlayStation Move’ motion controller event
We’re exceptionally likely to find out the official name of Sony ’s PlayStation motion controller in just a few hours during the company’s GDC press event, but till then, we’ve got one more late-breaking morsel to chew on: Move. According to trademark divers across the web, Sony has filed a European trademark for “PlayStation Move,” which certainly sounds like a plausible title for some sort of motion-sensing apparatus. To date, we’ve also heard ” Arc ” thrown around (which we tend to prefer, if we’re being candid), and the logo shown here — which is said to belong to a separate trademark application — definitely looks more like an “A” than an “M.” Keep it locked right here for more as we get it

‘PlayStation Move’ trademarked by Sony in Europe, reeks of motion controller involvement
Well, it looks like Sony has a little treat for PS3 users now that they’re able to turn their consoles back on — it’s just announced that it has signed up all six major studios to deliver HD movies on the PlayStation Network (the first company to do so, as Sony is happy to point out). That includes 20th Century Fox, Walt Disney Pictures, Paramount Pictures, Universal Pictures, Warner Bros

We’ve seen “real” guitars made to “work” with existing music-band titles, and we’ve even seen MIDI guitars play nice with Rock Band, but we’ve yet to see a company design a game from the ground-up to work with a legitimate six string. Until now. Here at GDC, Seven45 Studios is making a name for itself by introducing Power Gig: Rise of the SixString (for PS3 and Xbox 360) along with a bona fide axe.

You know who knows everything? People familiar with the matter. In particular, they know everything when “the matter” happens to be Sony’s handheld strategy for 2010, which is said to finally include an honest-to-goodness PSP with phone capabilities — something the world’s been demanding for as long as they’ve wanted a Zunephone .
