TechBytes: PlayStation Adds Motions

[javajolt]

Sony has unveiled its answer to the Nintendo Wii. The company has formally introduced Move, its new motion-controller for the PlayStation 3. Sony demonstrated the technology last year but didn't offer many details. Move is meant to work with a wide variety of games, involving swords, guns, punching and more. It will be available this fall in a starter kit that begins at less than $100, and also includes a game.

Video Games on Demand

A highly anticipated new service that may change the way you buy and play video games is finally launching this spring. OnLive goes live June 17. It works sort of like an on-demand movie channel, only for games. You'll be able to stream some of the hottest titles for the PlayStation or Xbox, but you won't need a console. They'll play over your computer or television. The service will have a base fee of $15 a month, plus the cost of buying or renting games.
