Hello Aussies! Hope you’re having a great week.
We can’t believe it but the wait is finally over. Yes, PlayStation Move is out and we’re so excited we have a couple of announcements.
Firstly, today not only sees the launch of the controller itself, but also The PlayStation Move Tour. You’ll be able to try PlayStation Move for yourself by visiting the PlayStation Move Australian Tour at a shopping centre near you. All you have to do is head to our tour page and simply browse to your location on the Aussie map to find out where and when PlayStation Move will be coming to a shopping centre near you.
After you’ve given it a bash (no doubt you’re going to love it so much you’ll want to take one home), head to your closest retailer and invest in the Starter Pack for only AUD$99.95RRP which comes with all the essentials to begin your PlayStation Move experience, then enter our Show Us Your Best Move competition where we want you to create a video of either yourself or your mates doing your best move(s) with the new PlayStation Move motion controller, upload it to YouTube and you’ll be in the running to win a Sony BRAVIA 46 inch 3D TV and two pairs of 3D glasses – more details can be found here.
Innovation. Immersion. Imagination. Video games will never be the same again. Welcome to PlayStation Move.
Get Moving guys!
Saw an add on the way to school this morning on a bus stop…… Ill have to wait to decide to buy a Kinect or the Move :)
My avatar isn’t showing a plus symbol hehe
Any chance SONY might advertise MOVE in the UK so people know its coming? I mean my 88 gran knows what HALO REACH is been advertised to death!
ad*
@Slapnutz
They’re advertising it when it comes out. Apparently they have ad spots in places like the middle of X Factor and random football matches. So yeah…
Ps Move needs more ad’s, Halo Reach is everywhere yet iv not seen a single Move add yet.
Ad*
Wouldn’t it be better to advertise it “before” it comes out otherwise they are just preaching to the converted.
/me runs of to check status of Shopto pre-order
Congratulations Australia on finally becoming a member of the European Union! Man I need to keep up with the news more….
I know some ppl were very happy to hear that Mainland Europe would get Move before US, since Europeans always seem to get less, later and for a higher price. (But why UK have to wait two days I can’t understand).
But of course the americans couldn’t stand this, so Best Buy (and others too, perhaps) just had to release it early. Best Buy started selling Move last Sunday – FIVE days before the US release date. If a European company had released Move early, there would have been penalties.
Oh, and of course US get’s a game with their Move bundle – we get a demo disc. Are you surprised? I’m not.
[joke on]
again, only aussi land, and mainland Europe gets nothing… :(
[joke off]
good for you my fellow aussies ;)
This is cool thanks Sony
@8 Australia have always been a part of Sony’s Pal teritories.
Wait what, Australia is part of the EU? damn, Congratulations to Australia! from United Kingdom
I’m freaking excited for Move! :D
But honestly bearly anyone knows about it, there hasn’t been any advertising to be seen. You should be flaunting what PlayStation has to offer! PlayStation blows the competition out of the water for quality. Shame people dont get to see it
LMAO @ cmr333
Hopefully mine arrives tomorrow, its shipping as we speak :D
@SlapnutzUK
Even here in Australia I didn’t know Move was out until I just saw this, I have seen plenty on Halo reach everywhere and I don’t even care care about it at all.
There you go then, proof that the Move controller even works upside down! ;)
Playstation Move is out in Norway today, but no demoes on PSN and no games to buy in the stores….got to test it in the menu..
Gues I go back to beta test the Kinect then, atleast got some games there.
Mine arrived today!!! A big surprise as it is advertised to be released tomorrow! Great Sony! I’m loving the controller, really accurate, it even took me a while to navigate through XMB because it tracks every movement but now it’s like I’ve done it forever! Excellent R.U.S.E. gameplay with Move!
APPROVED AND RECOMMENDED!
Hurry up with tomorrow’s update! :P
So Norway get it early too?! I know there are rules that stores must stick to the official release date, or they will have to pay fines, or maybe next time they will get stuff later than other stores. Here in Sweden I’ve never seen anything on sale before the official release date. My guess is that Move will be out tomorrow in UK too! And that’s only fair, I think.
the shops in holland dont even know the exact release date, some stated end september. while i say well doesnt it have to be out tommorow.
hope it will be here tommorow first time i ever want to use something like move.
hope it will be worth waiting
@ tm2010swe the have a game and we have a demo yes
but hey we have a better playstation plus ow wait we dont
ok then we pay less then america for things. oww wait we pay more
atleast we get beta’s oww wait we didnt had one.
oww well
as move works good, and they support us im happy.
Killzonexx, you forgot to say that our PS3 was the cheapest, AND that it had FULL backwards compatibility, not some half-baked software emulation. Oh, wait, that was US. But at least we got the Heavy Rain Dynamic Theme they promised the Plus members LAST month. Oh, wait, we didn’t get that.
Well, we should just smile and be happy. I’m really looking forward to Move. I was at the store today, and watched them pack all my controllers, games, and charging station in a HUGE plastic bag, but I must wait until tomorrow! :( They had tried it at the store, and they were impressed. They didn’t have to say that to convince me, though – I pre-ordered Move months ago. Well, congrats to all who got it early.
@ tm2010swe ahhh to bad you have to wait
its weird tho they had ruse move edition in our shop but no move
nice to buy a game that you cant play like it supposed to be
oww well i wait.
Killzonexx: Actually I don’t mind waiting until tomorrow, since that’s the release date they promised – and we want Sony to KEEP their promises! :)
Now da Aussies have Move now XD
@SlapnutzUK I pre order from ShopTo as well & they sent out 2day, should get 2morrow with a little luck. Can’t wait!
Bought the navi controller & Resident Evil 5 from Amazon though so I don’t think I’ll be getting those early or the Ps3 Eye clip I bought so I would be able to mount it on top the tv from Play.com.
And again SONY breaks a promise!!!! I pre-ordered the Move from a very big webshop in Holland and contacted the company today because the delivery time said on the internetsite 1 week……and what turned out???? SONY didn’t delivered the Move to the company and an exact date they couldn’t tell me!!!
Soooooooooooooooo SONY agian!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And for all the Dutch people…..look at the official Sony site:

It suddenly says 17th September!!!!!
LOL Australia, part of the EU? That’s classic!
Picking mine up now. No need to enter the competition though; I bought a Samsung 58″ 3D plasma on Monday.
picked up a starter set, kung fu rider and nav controller this morning
remember target are selling starter at $79 this week so price match guys
I just bought a Move controller yesterday at the MediaMarkt.. (had a camera already). It works great, supporting games should be cheaper though… right now they’re at the same price as ‘normal’ games which I would rather buy instead :)
Sports Champions was awesome.. throwing a frisbee felt realy natural and the graphics are awesome! Tumble could keep me busy for hours as well :)
But… TV Superstars and Kung Fu Rider demo’s downright suck! Have yet to try EyePet with the move…

I wrote a quick review
Thanks for that review Beakeroo. Will probably pick up the Movenator tomorrow
move, (and 3d that is)
A little disapointed with the trophies in Kung Fu Rider, they are of a PSN games status. Are all Move games like this?
