Third-Party Move Controllers On the Way in April

I fail to see the point of different colours. When you're playing the game, you're (hopefully) looking at your tv screen, not what's in your hands. What should be more important would be if they are any more comfortable to hold/use, which doesn't look the case from the pics

I think it's more a bonus if you have multiple players who each want their own unique controller. I'm particularly fussy about my Wii Remotes for example — I have to use the black one, and my guests may only use the white ones. I'd like a blue Move very much.

these controllers look like complete trash, and im not even trying to be mean they seriously look like a cheap kids game karaoke microphone controller. Also sony deactivates 3rd party controllers randomly so they no longer work with ps3 so these controllers are an even larger gamble. I wouldn't pay more then $15 for the pair, and thats assuming it has a rechargeable battery and not double AA's

@ James: LOL

@Lipnox I believe they're rechargeable, yeah. And the third-party deactivation was a by-product of Sony protecting itself against counterfeit DualShock and Sixaxis controllers, so these should be fine, I'd think!

I don't see the point of the coulors, But whatever float your boat. The change in grip might be interesting tho, can't wait to read a review

Meh, I'd rather have first-party controllers anyday.

@James then why did sony feel it was nessicary to deactivate my wheel for GT5?

20 bucks says the buttons are turbo-sticky and difficult to press. I've literally never used a third-party controller without that problem.

Wouldnt this be a breach of patent that Sony has on the Move? This is essentially a replica of the technology, I fail to see how anyone would purchase this over the official product unless it retails for $10.

@lipnox You'd have to ask them, not me!

@GoldenCannon Good question. I would assume it would be just different enough so as not to infringe on patents, but remember a lot of this technology — accelerometers, gyroscopes etc. — is pretty commonplace nowadays, so should be easy to replicate without cramping anyone's style.

@James I did ask them, they dont offer any customer service what so ever for third party controllers and accessorys, if sony didnt make it then they will say too bad regardless. thats my only fear.

@lipnox: have you attempted contacting the maker(s) of your wheel? if there's an issue with their product working on the system it was designed for, it's reasonable to expect them to offer support.

As fancy as it looks, I'll still stick with my first party one.

@TBD good idea, I never thought of doing it that way.
update: the company that made my wheel went bankrupt a few years ago

Just remembered this from the first post:

"Both controllers feature a rubberized shell for better grip and an ergonomic design. In order to keep up with future firmware updates, both controllers have built-in USB ports so that they can be quickly and easily updated with the latest software."
