PlayStation Move Launches on Sunday: You Buyin'?

Sony announced earlier today that the PlayStation Move controller system will finally be made available to the masses this Sunday, Sept. 19, but you can actually purchase it now on Amazon in a starter bundle for $99.

The controller, which was first announced back in March, is used much like the Wii controllers, but with the addition of a camera to track your movements. In order to get the most from your PlayStation experience, you're going to want the Move Controller ($50), the PlayStation Eye camera ($40), and the Navigation Controller ($30), which is optional, but can really bump up your gameplay if you do happen to splurge.

With the Xbox Kinect hogging the limelight this Summer, it's nice to see the Move make it to the shelves for PlayStation 3 owners out there. So tell me gamers — are you buyin' the PlayStation Move controller system?

Now that Polaroid is back in action — and with Lady Gaga at the creative helm — it isn't wasting any time branching out into new markets.

Now that Polaroid is back in action — and with Lady Gaga at the creative helm — it isn't wasting any time branching out into new markets. According to a report, Polaroid will be creating a line of video game peripherals and accessories, like Wii sensor bars, docks for the Nintendo DS, wireless controllers, and microphone headsets, which will begin rolling out in the UK next month. I'm excited for the Polaroid invasion, but I'm wondering how these accessories will translate the true Polaroid feel. I have a few ideas, and some thoughts about what I'd like to see. Find out what they are after the break.

Talk about a Spring cleaning overhaul!

The gear board is brought to you by Cambre Products, which offers a ton of other video game storage solutions, so your living room can be a sleek and organized representation of your favorite past-time, instead of looking like GameStop came in and threw up all over your house.

You Rock Guitar Brings Your Gaming to Life

OK, so how many times have you bragged to a group of friends that you beat your all-time high score on Guitar Hero after a monster jam session, only to be blasted for not learning to play a "real" instrument?

OK, so how many times have you bragged to a group of friends that you beat your all-time high score on Guitar Hero after a monster jam session, only to be blasted for not learning to play a "real" instrument? Yeah, I've been there too, friend. Now you can take your rock prowess from the console and blend it with actual chord knowledge with the You Rock guitar.

This USB controller does so much more than make you feel like a rock god when playing a video game — it's also a MIDI controller, so you can play and record songs on your iPod, MP3 player, or audio recording software, hook up some headphones to play in silence (to the outside world, anyway), and still rock out to Guitar Hero or Rock Band. The You Rock guitar has colored keys so you can strum along with your video game, and real strings so you can take things to the next level at home. Priced at $180, it's the perfect gateway from gaming to real-life rocking.
