PlayStation Move charging station
By utilizing the "charging station," users will be able to
charge up to two PlayStation Move controllers, motion controller
or the navigation controller, at once without having to connect
them to the PS3 system. The "charging station" will become
available concurrently with the motion controller launch in each
region at a RRP of euro 29.99, US$29.99 and 2,480 yen (including
tax), respectively.
PlayStation Move shooting attachment
The "shooting attachment," designed to place the PlayStation
Move motion controller horizontally, will allow players to hold
the motion controller as if they are holding a gun and to easily
aim at an in-game target. The trigger on the attachment is
interlocked with the motion controller T button and will enable
users to intuitively play the game, not only limited to shooting
games but also on games that may require precise button input
and control. It will deliver immersive gameplay and will work
perfectly with software titles like The Shoot!*3 by SCE and Time
Crises: Razing Storm by Bandai Namco Games Inc. which is
expected to support the attachment. The "shooting attachment"
will become available starting this fall in each region at a RRP
of euro 14.99, US$19.99 and 1,480 yen (including tax),
respectively.
Through the introduction of PlayStation Move controllers,

to further expand the PS3 platform and create a new world of
computer entertainment that is only possible on PlayStation.
