Sony decided to make the most out of E3 by revealing the pricing details of their anticipated PlayStation Move motion controller. Now, motion controllers aren’t exactly new in the market, but Nintendo’s Wii has certainly brought the idea to the masses in an extremely fun (and profitable) manner. While Sony and Microsoft initially laughed at Nintendo’s “waggle controls”, it looks like they have decided to swallow their pride and include motion controls into their own respective consoles, with Sony’s effort ending up being known as the PlayStation Move.

Sony Computer Entertainment America will release a PlayStation Move bundle comprised of a PlayStation Move motion controller, PlayStation Eye camera, Sports Champions Blu-ray disc game and PlayStation Move demo disc for $99.99. Additionally, a PlayStation 3 Sports Champion Move Bundle, which includes a PS3 system, PlayStation Move motion controller, PlayStation Eye Camera, Sports Champions Blu-ray game and PlayStation Move game demo disc, will be available for $399.99. The PlayStation Eye camera will also be sold separately for $39.99.

Folks living in North America will be able to get their hands on the PlayStation Move this coming September 19th for $49.99, while our friends living across the pond (as well as other PAL territories) will be able to receive theirs four days earlier for 39.99 Euros. As for folks who reside in Japan, you will have to wait a full month after that, forking out 3,980 yen for this puppy. It would be extremely interesting to see just how the PlayStation Move will make beautiful looking games on the PS3 play even better.
