PlayStation Move Experience [Update: Video]

A lucky few have been able to get their hands on PlayStation’s new Move controllers. I happen to be one of those lucky few to enjoy Sony’s entry into motion control goodness before most everyone else. I got my houseparty.com Ultimate Block Party a couple of weeks ago.

inFamous 2 to Feature Move Support?

It looks like inFamous 2 will be among Sony’s Move-supported offerings, if the motion controller’s own official website is to be believed. Halfway down the site is this image:
