The Motion Controller and the PS Eye are the minimum needed to bring 'Move' to a any PS3 console. No exceptions. If you already have a PS Eye then the controller alone is the only purchase necessary. On the other hand, to fully enjoy certain games, you may want TWO Move Controllers.



It's hard not to be impressed by the Move. While I can't see how the Move's Motion Controller can become PS3's 'main' controller, I believe that it's going to find lots of good uses and hopefully in hard-core games and in the RPG games that I'm usually playing.





SETUP



Press the PS button. If the controller is charged... you're done.



Of course, to do anything useful, you WILL need a PS Eye camera and maybe a game :). You CAN use the controller to navigate the PS3 XMB menus but it may take some getting used to - I am still reaching for the DualShock.





MOVE'S MOTION CONTROLLER



The Wikipedia has a very thorough review of the technology inside the controller - impressive. It's probably worth going there to get an idea of what's under the hood.



From a user's point of view, the Move could be viewed as approximately the right side of the DualShock 3 where the motion tracking function is the R3 analog stick, R1 is the MOVE button and the R2 becomes the Move's T(rigger). You also get the 4 Square/Circle/X/Triangle, in a square (not 'diamond') formation, the PS button as well as the START and SELECT. So far, the most used buttons during gameplay were the MOVE and the T(rigger).



In addition, you get a wrist strap. At the opposite end of the microphone or thick wand-shaped Move there's a USB Mini-B port for charging and another port that seems to be proprietary - must investigate.



The controller is quite substantial as far as both size and weight - I like that and liked its being shaped in a way that makes it easy to grab and hold. Very much like a microphone or a very thick magic wand; NOT a remote control.



Based on my experience so far, Move's ability to track your motions far surpasses anything that I'm aware of in the gaming universe. Every single movement, up/down, left/right, toward/away and wrist rotation are accurately captured and almost instantly reflected on the screen and so is acceleration that would usually translates as 'force' in games such as sword fights or ping pong. In addition, there is haptic (tactile/rumble) feedback, a little too weak in the games I played so far, making the gaming experience that much more realistic.



I am not writing a lot about the Eye camera because... it's just there and it's not the subject of this review. For as long as it can see you, it simply does its part so that you may enjoy your game.





PLAYING



I've tried so far everything in the Champions game and one puzzle game demo downloaded from the PSN. Our little girl is playing the Eye Pet demo and my boys are playing mostly the sword fight and the archery games in Sports Champions. Considering that Sports Champions is an early game, my expectations were not that high but, surprisingly, Ping Pong did meet my expectations. I've been playing real Ping Pong ever since I was 11 or 12 so I probably know what I'm talking about and the Move version of Ping Pong is GOOD. As for the others... sword fight, kids like it. Archery was okay, Bocce was so-so, Frisbee Golf not too bad. Three of the six Champions events benefit significantly from using TWO Motion controllers.



For the games I've played so far, this is NOT a couch experience. On the Sports events I was sweating after a few minutes and I had to get off the couch and stand up even when playing the puzzle because of its depth element. This is probably a good thing.



I am sorry for having to do this but, absent 'hard core' games, the only comparison I can make is between Move and Wii and... to put it VERY mildly, the Wii shows its age when placed next to the Move. Except for it lacking a built-in speaker, the Move controller is ahead of Wii in every single respect: precision, responsiveness, ergonomics. The fact that the Eye camera can and in certain games DOES track your body not just the controller helps too. Of course, the Wii has the games but the Move games should be coming fast so I'm not worried.





MY RATING



It's 5 stars for the technical merit, ease of setup and for the overall experience. Hopefully, the games will be coming quickly and in good quality. Playstation Move Motion Controller

It's a shame that Sony's new motion controller Move is so much compared to the Wii. Aside from the basic principles, Move is a lot different than the Wii. And if you ever played Wii and then pick up Move, you'll quickly be able to tell the difference. The accuracy with this thing is out of this world. It follows the wand with 1:1 motion and no lag at all(not yet anyway) And you can go into 3D space, like going into the the picture and grabbing something out, something the Wii couldn't do. But this review isn't about the Move VS Wii, so I'll shut up. I've played Sports Champions and Start the Party and some demo games, and this controller is perfect. It's built solid and it feel good in your hand. The glowing orb on top is actually pretty cool, but it's not just for looks, it actually has a purpose, and it's purpose is to help the camera follow the controller by following the light. This controller is still very new so I can't note on reliability, but I'm sure it's great giving it's from Sony.

After having bought the PS3 move all I can say is amazing at how easily it's to use and how incredibly it reads the hand and arm motions of the player while you are playing a game. The Wii motion Plus when it came out was suppose to help fix the wii remotes sometimes unsteady reading of the Wii remote motion during gameplay but even than it really didn't seem that much of a vast improvement, but with the PS3 move as you play the gladiatorial fights and archery or just playing ping pong reading the wrist movements and the location of the motion controller is vastly superior especially if you've just played a Wii game and start playing this a couple of hours later. Setting up the motion controllers is also vastly easier than the Wii remotes just use the usb hookup when you turn on your console and motion controller than go to the accessory settings on the PS3 and you'll see the motion control calibration setup to begin and within a few seconds you're set to go. It does seem a little more fun though if you have two motion controllers for some of the games on the Sports champion one, notably the Gladiator and archery one for the most part but not truly necessary to play the games if you just want to have one or just only bought one. So for the great price for this is it worth getting?, I definitely say yes while some have called it a clone of the Nintendo Wii I feel it's vastly more than just that with all it's been able to do and the great enjoyment you're sure to get while playing with the PS3 move as well... - Playstation 3 - Motion Control - Video Games - Move'

do it yourself concrete work - do it yourself concrete work, fu-tung cheng

Labeling this DVD an infomercial overstates the case. There are maybe three parts of the video where he (Fu-Tung Cheng) is hawking his products. They are super easy to blip past. Thankfully, so are a few of his jokes.



The real issue becomes, if you choose not to use his products, then it leaves you no information on measuring out fibers, coloring agents and water reducers. ("Concrete Countertops," his book, is good stuff and I recommend getting it first, this DVD does *not* replace the book. The book predates the his product line, so it has the aforementioned measuring information, and making your own faucet knockouts, etc.)



That said, here is why the video is worth it.



It is useful to see the how the process as described in the book (above) has been refined, i.e. putting packing tape over the form screws (instead of modeling clay in the screw heads). Or, that they use a cordless vibrator that is maneuverable/gentle enough to use in the form (in the book, they talk about how dangerous they can be and only use them clamped to the table - Now he's got a Makita cordless job). And they spread the decorative aggregates on the form surface now, affixed with Super 77 (instead of adding a boatload to the mix like it was gravel), which makes much more sense to me...



A moving picture is worth a million billion words (for me). I would review the scenes before I did each section. I am sure this saved my [...], as I am prone to skimming over some crucial passage. Like when he stops cold and says - "I have been using 1 5/8s screws, but you must use 1 1/4 here or you will break right through your form walls"



A am a bit biased, I got a "free" pound of Neomix when I bought the DVD off of Cheng's site ("free" with shipping, that is); so I felt I did all right. (Psst. Hey kid, the first one's free... Just trying to get me hooked, I suppose.)



An interesting extra is I found 80lb bags of 5000 psi concrete (not quickcrete brand) at my Home Depot with fibers and reducers already mixed in. That pretty much leaves color...



Minuses: Extras? pah. Would be nice if they showed how to build a curved form or something. Also, sometimes They Show Him Putting In Every Screw. A bit more agressive editing couldn't hurt. Nothing significant enough to dock stars. Concrete Countertops DIY (Instructional DVD) featuring Fu-Tung Cheng

At http://www.graniterock.com/grtheater.html there is a free quicktime video by same person describing basic methods of building pre-formed concrete counter tops. FMI check out buddyrhodes.com (competitor) and "the concrete exchange" run by same author to sell his products

The DVD gives you the gist of how to make a counter top, but doesn't teach you how to install it or how to conceal seams that the cast in place leaves. Also, half the video is Fu-Tung pushing his products rather than teaching what the DVD advertises: building counter tops. I feel let down by the DVD because I did some counter tops withou any training and expected this DVD to answer some of my questions, but it turned out to be a uninformative sales pitch. This is a more scathing review than the DVD deserves. For someone with no clue what they're doing this is a good jumping off point.

This DVD is not a stand alone product, it gives you a good high level overview of the basics. What really bothered me was that Mr. Cheng constantly pitched his new products throughout the DVD. The DVD did help and make the process clearer then reading the book alone.

We used this disc along with the Cheng materials and books when making our own concrete countertop. It was very helpful, especially if you have never worked with concrete before like us. The DVD is good because you can see things being done rather than just a snapshot like in the book. We really needed both though (books and DVD).

If you are interested in building your own concrete countertops, this DVD is a "must have." In this simple to follow DVD, industry expert Fu-Tung Cheng guides you step-by-step through the process--from templating the design, through building the molds, mixing and pouring, finishing, and sealing and waxing, this DVD covers it all. This is a high quality production, with good sound and lighting and multiple camera angles. It is the perfect companion to Cheng's first book,"Concrete Countertops", which has become the definitive guide to the subject. The DVD also shows how to use some new products which were not around when the book was written. - Do It Yourself Concrete Work - Fu-tung Cheng'

In The Frugal Woodturner, author Ernie Conover goes over some basic information on tool selection and making your own tools and various mounts and holders. Lots of very good photos and illustrations are included to help you along as well.



It shows lots of traditional and perfectly good (and cheap) options for holding wood on the lathe that won't break the budget like many of the fancy new chucks, tools and gizmos in the stores these days can.



There are some areas where I wished he'd dove into a little more detail but, after all, we're being frugal in this endeavor. Right? The Frugal Woodturner: Make and Modify All the Tools and Equipment You Need

I tend to go all out when I try something new. When I started woodturning I bought a lot of well recommended crap I never really used. I wish this book was around then. It shows lots of perfectly good and cheap options for holding wood on the lathe. Lots of very good photos as well,

I have been a woodturner for about 3 years. I have lots of different equipment, but I've always tried to make my own. This book gave me ideas, suggestions, hints as to how to enhance what I have by not having to buy tooling.



It is well worth the price of the book because if you take just one idea from it, you will get your money back.



For example, the different types of chucks shown to make, you can't go out and buy....great time saver instead of having to reinvent the wheel.



In my opinion, this book will benefit those just starting out in turning, but if you have just a little bit of experience and are wanting to enhance your turning experience by having just the right tool for a specific job, then this book should be in your library.

For any wood turner who is tired of spending $100s on jigs and tools, this is the book for you! Ernie Conover has written an enjoyable book that provides valuable tips on creating jigs and tools for the cost-conscious woodworker. Making just one of the aids described by Conover will more than pay for this book!

This is a hard book to rate. The subtitle is how to make and modify tools. On making chisels he spends about 2 pages on heating and bending screwdrivers without a mention why one would need bent. Lots of discussion on why a bunch of equipment is not needed other an expensive lathe.



It is enjoyable read since it is written well, but it is short on actual info to make much for the lathe.



All in all, I would say the book is worth the ~$20 it cost, but it contains nothing of use to an experienced woodturner.

Wow, this is a super resource. It covers every area I was looking for information on. I am a jig maker too and this books showed me a bunch of new things I can build and use in my shop. Highly recommend.

I am a beginning woodturnner and this book has a lot of very good information on the basic of wood turning. Being able to construct some of your own tools helps with the expense.



The book is worth the cost. - Budget - Frugal - Hand - Do It Yourself'

After having to return a previous foot pedal (b/c my Dremel is a polarized 2 prong plug), this pedal works just fine. I contacted the manufacturer (MLCS Woodworking) to make sure of the compatibility and they replied in a reasonable time. This pedal also accepts 3 prong plugs as well. MLCS 9080 Billy Pedal Foot Switch, Deadman Style

Plugged my Dremel tool into this pedal and then added a flex shaft accessory to the other end of my Dremel and now I have hands free variable speed control with my tools. Love it! Accepts 3 prong plugs. Made in Taiwan.

This is exactly what I needed to help with glass grinding. I don't like to leave it on the entire time I'm grinding glass which sometimes takes a couple of hours. Although I bought this for glass grinding, I also discovered that it works well with my Dremel tool which I use to make jewelry. This foot pedal is perfect for both tools! It is nicely made and works exactly as I had hoped it would!

It's very light, but easy enough to fasten to something heavy. I use it to run a grinder and foot operation allows me to concentrate on what I"m grinding without taking my hands off the work piece (or move it) to reach for the switch. The real review of this item should come after 5 years of exposure to grinding dust and heavy feet.

Makes working with my router table a lot more productive and safe. Now without having to remove a hand I can turn the table off with the tap of a foot. Really works well for any product that you need both hands to operate. Just step on to click on and again to turn off.

Use this to turn on and off my 1 hp meat grinder. It is great and frees up my hands for stuffing sausage. Also when turning off the grinder one does not have to worry about getting meat on the switch on the grinder. Great unit. Built tuff

I have had this foot switch for two Years Now. I use it to run an electric meat grinder and have had absolutely not problems with it at all. I would recomend a foot switch for anything you would need both hands for. - Pedals - Footswitches - Dremel - Dremel Tool Accessories'

I read a borrowed copy of Releasing Fat: Developing Healthy lifestyles that Have the Side-Effect of Permanent Weight Loss. It wasn't until after I ordered a copy for myself AND and copy of Healthy for Life... that I read the blurbs about them on Dr. Strand's website. You can't tell on the Amazon site that the books are virtually identical. The only difference is that Releasing Fat includes Usana products (meal replacements, snack bars, and vitamins and minerals) in its meal plans. Healthy for Life just has low-glycemic foods in its meal plans. If you want only one copy, you just need to get one or the other, not both. HOWEVER, I wasn't bothered by having two copies of what amounted to the same book because I've learned so much about insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, killer (abdominal) fat, carb cravings, cellular nutrition, and the benefits of a low-glycemic diet that I wanted to recommend it to all my friends and relatives.

There are a lot of low-gycemic diet books out there now, but this is the only one I've seen that goes into such detail about the specific negative health effects that result from the way most Americans eat and how a change to a low-glycemic diet will counteract those health problems. Healthy For Life: DEVELOPING HEALTHY LIFESTYLES THAT HAVE A SIDE EFFECT OF PERMANENT FAT LOSS

I've been studying health and nutrition for the better part of a year, reading countless books, experimenting with different foods and vitamins.



I evaluate the efficacy of a given health protocol by comparing it to Maimonides' Rules for Perfect Health, elucidated in his writings.



Dr. Strand's advice fits the Maimonides Protocol quite nicely.



1. Although he is an M.D., Dr. Strand recommends drugs only as a last resort, because every drug is a brute-force device that upsets the natural balance of the body and may trigger harmful side effects.



2. Dr. Strand always tries gentle lifestyle changes first--coupled with nutritional supplements--if the patient is willing to cooperate and apply the necesary discipline. This approach actually cures the problem at its source by restoring homeostasis. The body is encouraged to heal and re-balance itself permanently.



3. Dr. Strand uses good common sense, combining natural methods with the latest medical technology. He is very practical.



4. His book is very readable and suitable for the average layperson. It's fun to read, with many illustrative anecdotes.



Buy this book now. In fact, you should buy 10 of them, and hand them out to people you care about.

Excellent book! I have bought several and shared with friends and family. A real eye opener on insulin resistance and why diets don't work. Dr. Stand's book includes a Healthy for Life resource page of desirable proteins and desirable carbohydrates and a Phase I & Phase II meal plan. He also holds a one hour teleconference the 4th Saturday of each month to speak on diabetes, obesity, and exercise, which is excellent.

I have read dozens of books on wellness over the past 20 years, this books ranks as one of the best if not the best.

The well documented imformation in this book gave me a real wake-up call on what my lifestyle was doing to my health and how it was going to impact my future. After reading the first five chapters I was ready to make some serious changes to my lifestyle. I skipped back to chapter fifteen for some common sense solutions to prevent further damage to my health and to reverse the negative health cycle I had created. One last thing; I found the lifestyle changes to be very doable and this book gave me the motivation to follow through and produce the positive changes.

It is essential that Americans learn why they are addicted to carbs and why this leads to insulin resistence, fat middles, and many health problems. This book finally made me understand why I had trouble losing weight in the past and made it easier for me to make good choices. My cholesterol has lowered and my cravings have decreased. My waist went from 40 inches to 34 and I feel much better. I bought only one book at first but ended up getting 4 more for my dad and brothers and a friend.

I have enjoyed the writing of Ray Strand in the past, and his being the author of this book was partly instrumental in my decision to purchase it. The title seems to imply that the subject matter would cover a variety of concerns and indeed, the first quarter of the book deals with the generalities in lifestyles and health. However, the main thrust of this book appears to be the effect of high glycemic foods on the present, almost epidemic occurence of diabetes in the general population, from children and adolescents to adults. If this is your area of interest, this book is quite thorough and covers a lot of territory regarding the effects of glycemic overload and what can be done about it. I find the author's inclusion of several weeks of sample, remedial menus to be very helpful. This book would be beneficial to everyone given the present state of America's health trends and Dr. Strnd writes clearly and in depth about the subject.

Excellent book for all those interested in wellness and/or weight loss. Dr. Strand presents the technical reasons for weight loss in very interesting and understandable language. I strongly recommend this book to anyone with an interest in health, wellness, and/or weight loss.

Dr. Strand nails it when he describes why so many of us are overweight, and it makes sense. I lost 6 pounds, plus 2 inches off my waist and 2 inches off my hips in the first 4 weeks of starting this program! I highly recommend this book and the Healthy for Life program.

With all the diet fads and marketing hype claiming quick cures for all that ails us, I found this to be one of the best books I have read. I found it easy to read, with good explainations as to why we have trouble loosing weight but no problems gaining. Dr. Strand makes good sense and provides guidelines not for a diet but for a lifestyle change that will make you healthy for life. His book Releasing Fat is also very good. - Wellness - Low Glycemic - Nutrition - Healthy Eating'

Neck is a little tight, so putting it on or taking it off requires help from adult. Sleeves are a little long which i loved (not to the elbows but a few inches above) and the fit of the shirt is very "roomy". It's long which is also great.

The digital photography handbook,



This is the most helpful book on digital photography I have seen in a while. Each page of the book has some scenario and a ways to work with is to get the best possible shot. It's also covers many different ways to overcome what ever adverse shooting situation you might be. Kelby Talks about cheap ways to overcome situations. He also talks about more expensive ways to overcome situations. On each subject where he discusses a scenario there are usually multiple photos to show you each effect of each solution will have on the photo. Each subject is covered very well in about two pages. The photography is outstanding and in color.



Kelby covers all types of digital photography from portraiture to landscape, lighting flashes, different types of digital cameras.



Kelby covers using a flash, building a studio from scratch, shooting portraits like a pro, shooting landscapes like a pro, shooting weddings like a pro, shooting travel like a pro, shooting macro like a pro, pro tips for getting photos and more photo recipes to help you get the shot. All of these subject are covered very well.



The book is written in an easy to understand, easy to read and with some humor. Each topic is about one page in length.



I consider myself to me an intermediate photographer and I can say that this is and continue to be very helpful to me. I This is a must for the beginner to intermediate photographer. The book is small enough to carry in your camera equipment bag. This book is packed with information and extremely helpful tips. The Digital Photography Book, Volume 2

This book truly has a brilliant premise and here's how Scott Kelby describes it: "If you & I were out on a shoot & you asked me, `When I use my flash, the background behind the person I'm shooting turns black. How do I fix that?' I wouldn't give you a lecture on flash ratios, or start a discussion on flash synchronization and rear curtain synch. I'd just say, 'Lower your shutter speed to 1/60 of a second. That should do it.' Well, that's what this book is all about: you & I out shooting where I answers questions, give you advice, and share the secrets I have learned just as I would a friend-without all the technical explanations and techie photo speak."



Each page covers a single concept on how to make your photography better. Every time you turn the page, you'll learn another pro setting, tool, or trick to transform your work from snapshots into gallery prints. If you are tired of taking shots that are "okay," and if you are tired of looking in photography magazines and thinking, "Why don't my shots look like that?" then this is the book for you.



This isn't a book of theory-full of confusing jargon and detailed concepts. This is a book on which button to push, which setting to use, and when to use it. With nearly 200 more of the most closely guarded photographic "tricks of the trade" this book gets you shooting dramatically better-looking, sharper, more colorful, more professionally-looking photos every time"
