This product is like new. At NexWave Games, like new means:
Additionally, all discs at NexWave Games are carefully inspected and assessed for quality. When discs arrive, we do not accept any that are so badly damaged that they are unlikely to work. We only accept discs with light scratches at most. Discs with scratches are then treated in our professional disc repair machine. By warming the disc and polishing it with soft brushes, these machines can remove a very thin layer from the disc. This removes the layer containing surface scratches and improves the disc’s readability. This ensures the disc works properly, even on consoles with ageing lasers that have difficulty reading games! Great news for the player.
PlayStation 3 Move Controller
PlayStation Move for PS3 is a motion controller held in one hand. Its glowing sphere helps the PlayStation Eye camera track its position; internal sensors also detect movement and rotation. The large Move button, symbol buttons and trigger perform game actions. The controller can represent a racket, aiming device or wand, for example. Each game and activity determines which movement corresponds to which action.
The original PS3 setup requires a PlayStation Eye and a Move-compatible game. Let the camera see the sphere, keep space clear and use the wrist strap. This PS3 generation pairs and charges through Mini-USB and works wirelessly during play. Some games use a second Move controller or a Navigation Controller for additional controls. One unit therefore does not complete every possible setup; check the chosen game's requirements.
This offer is for the individual motion controller in the stated condition. A PlayStation Eye, console, game, charging cable or second controller is included only when explicitly stated. Navigation Controller is a different product with an analogue stick; this Move does not automatically replace it. Later PlayStation systems require the appropriate accessories and software for their generation. The five examples below concern only the original PlayStation 3 Move games.
History
Sony had already gained experience with cameras in games through EyeToy for PlayStation 2. In 2010, PlayStation Move developed motion controls further, this time with a handheld controller. A visible glowing sphere combined with internal sensors let the system track an object in the play space. PlayStation Eye supplied the camera image. The European Move range launched on 15 September 2010 alongside existing stick-and-button PS3 controllers.
The first games explored different uses. Sports Champions turned the controller into sporting equipment, Start the Party! placed players among virtual objects using camera imagery, and The Shoot used it to aim in film-themed shooting galleries. Other developers added Move to games also playable with traditional controllers. The result was not uniform: motion could be central or an additional option. Packaging and manuals specified the equipment required.
In 2012, Wonderbook gave the camera-and-controller combination another purpose. A physical book gained animated content on screen while Move acted as a wand. It also illustrates why additional accessories matter: the controller alone did not contain the full game concept. Later uses on other PlayStation systems did not change the original PS3 requirements. For this generation, the appropriate game, PlayStation Eye and required controllers remain the foundation together.
Five popular PlayStation 3 Move games
Sports Champions combines sports including table tennis, archery and gladiator combat. Move controls the direction of a stroke or the moment you block an attack. A PlayStation Eye camera is required. Events can be played with one Move; some offer additional options with a second controller. Simultaneous opponents need extra controllers. Each sport uses different movements, giving timing and posture a different role.
Start the Party! uses the camera image to place you on screen in short minigames. You might swipe at insects or hit objects appearing around you. Move becomes the task's tool on screen. A PlayStation Eye camera is required. Players can take turns passing the same controller. This example concerns the original Start the Party!, not the later Save the World!.
The Shoot turns film sets into an arcade shooting gallery. Point Move at the screen, shoot targets and try to maintain a run of hits as the scene progresses. Success depends on quick recognition, accurate aiming and timely reactions. Gestures supplement aiming. The PS3 release requires Move and a PlayStation Eye camera. A plastic gun holder does not replace that hardware and is not automatically included with this separate controller.
Wonderbook: Book of Spells teaches spells from the Harry Potter world. The camera shows the physical book on screen, with Move appearing as a wand. Follow movements, watch stories and complete tasks on the pages. Besides a PS3 and the game, you need a PlayStation Eye camera, Move and the physical Wonderbook. The book, camera and game are not automatically supplied with this separate controller.
Kung Fu Rider sends you through busy streets on office furniture. Dodge obstacles, choose a route and try to lose pursuers while maintaining speed. Move gestures control the unusual ride and attacks. Its rhythm differs from the sports and party games in this selection. This original PS3 game requires a PlayStation Eye camera and Move. Mentioning it does not promise current availability through a download store.
