Are you tired of the same old, same old with video games? Maybe you're looking for something innovative and fresh. If you are, then you might want to take a look at the PlayStation Move. The PlayStation Move takes video games to the next level -- it makes you feel like you're actually in the game!#

It's not virtual reality, though. It's more like augmented reality, in the sense that your interface with the game is your actual physical movements.#

The PlayStation Move works like this: While you're using the PlayStation Move controller, the PS3 system and the PlayStation Eye camera work together to detect your movements, angle, and position in 3D space.

But if you want to get more technical, the motion controller's advanced motion sensors -- a three-axis gyroscope, a three-axis accelerometer, and a terrestrial magnetic field sensor -- in combination with the camera-tracked colorful, lit-up sphere on the end of the controller are what make the immersive experience delivered by the PlayStation Move possible.

After your position and movements are detected, the system translates them into the game, so when you swing your arm in real life, your character will swing their sword or tennis racket.

Beyond the physical motion aspects of the PlayStation Move, the motion controller's analog trigger, action buttons, ability to display different colors through the sphere, and rumble feedback, as well as the PlayStation Eye camera's ability to use your voice and image in the game, further enrich the gameplay experience by adding more depth to it in terms of ways to play.#

There's also a sub-controller for the PlayStation Move that adds tons of gameplay possibilities through its analog stick and directional buttons. On top of that, it also has a lithium-ion battery and Bluetooth functionality.

If you're looking to have a lot of fun, consider the PlayStation Move. With 36 third-party developers and publishers creating games for it, you're sure to have plenty of exciting options for entertainment!
