Heavy Rain: Move Edition is out on disc in October, but if you already own the game you can pick up a free Move-enabling patch from the PlayStation Network.
Weighing in at a beefy 1142MB and downloaded automatically once the disc is inserted, the game adds motion control to the game but nothing else: those of you after the extra scene, soundtrack, videos and more will have to pick up the Blu-ray release or wait until Sony announces a download release.
We'll have a full review of Heavy Rain in the coming days.

Since I don't have the game yet, maybe I should buy the new version...?
I hadn't heard about those Move Edition bonuses...well, the soundtrack is already available on PSN, and I wouldn't be surprised if the "extra scene" you speak of is "The Taxidermist," DLC that was also released ages ago. In other words, it's unlikely that anyone who already has the game has ANY reason to buy another retail copy.
I played the Move Edition for a couple of hours yesterday, and I love it!
It takes a little getting used to, of course, but so did the original controls. If you start playing from the beginning you won't be confused by the signs used to show what movements to do.
The Taxidermist wasn't released everywhere though as I recall, and I don't think the point behind the re-release is to sell it to users who already have the game: it's supposed to be for newcomers to Move looking for a new game that's not a party or sports title. Although there is partying and sports in Heavy Rain...
@James: This discussion of re-buying was started by the confusingly written second paragraph of this article. Once you dig for the truth, it becomes apparent that there's nothing in the Move Edition that regular Heavy Rain owners don't have access to, making the thought of re-buying it ridiculous.
I do agree with NESGamepro...it's a real shame that they had to drop work on the other Chronicles to make the game Move compatable.
@Stuff The article says "the game adds motion control to the game but nothing else" - don't see how that's confusing. I also wrote a news piece several days ago detailing exactly what's in the Move Edition that also explained the differences. Not sure where the confusion occurred, to be honest.
