Sony PlayStation Move Hits Living Rooms September 15 for $100

By Nick Mokey June 15, 2010

Ready to turn your PlayStation 3 into a Wii without kiddie graphics? Sony’s PlayStation Move, which adds realistic one-to-one motion sensing to the platform, will go on sale September 15, with a complete bundle for selling for $100.

That package includes both the Eye camera necessary to tie the Move into a PlayStation 3, and the second-hand navigation controller that acts much like Nintendo’s nunchuk. Gamers who already own the camera will also be able to pick up individual controllers for $50, and navigation controllers for $30. A complete PS3 bundle with a console, Move controller, Eye camera and a copy of Sports Champions will sell for $400.

Unfortunately for North American gamers, that September 15 launch date is only for Europe. Those of us across the pond will have to wait until September 19, and those in Sony’s native Japan won’t see it until a month later, on October 21.

Sony predicts the system will launch with between 15 and 20 titles, including older titles that will offer new Move functionality, like Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11.

PlayStation VR2 production reportedly paused by Sony

Sony is reportedly pausing production of the PlayStation VR2 headsets because it has a backlog of unsold headsets.

This report comes from Bloomberg, which claims that PSVR2 sales have slowed every quarter since its February 2023 release, causing stocks of the device to build up. It says Sony has produced 2 million headsets but reportedly hasn't sold through them yet. As a result, it's apparently pausing the production on new units until it works through some of that backlog, according to Bloomberg's anonymous sources.

Does PlayStation 5 have a web browser?

Sony added a bunch of great functionality to PS5, but one thing that's missing is a web browser. Unlike its predecessor, PS4, there's not a standard web browser you can access from your home screen. That's a bit of a letdown, as it feels like a huge step back from what was available years ago.

Thankfully, all is not lost. With a little elbow grease and a lot of ingenuity, you can access a web browser on PS5. The process is quite convoluted, and it's not the most user-friendly browser, but it's possible to surf the web on your fancy new-gen console.
