Nope, it wasn't Gem -- and it wasn't Arc, either. At their 2010 GDC press conference, Sony announced that the official name for their PlayStation 3 motion controller is PlayStation Move. On top of that, they revealed the first launch details for the controller as well.

It'll be available in three ways: a stand-alone package that comes with one controller for those who already own a PlayStation Eye (which is required to use the controller), a starter kit that comes with the Eye, one controller, and game; and an "ultimate bundle" with a PlayStation 3 console, Eye, controller, and game. Sony said pricing details would be announced later in the year, but they said they were targeting the starter kit to come in under $100. They also likened it to a "virtual console launch," indicating how hard they'll be pushing the controller with marketing at launch.

Sony didn't mention what game would be included with the starter or ultimate kit, but we'll update this story once we have more details.

Also, it looks slightly less like a Wiimote now.

Slightly.

But that's a verb?

And it needs the Eye?

Well, since that is like a sensor bar, i see Wii Ports in the future

Looks (and sounds) wacky. Nothing less than what I expected.

...the PS3's real controller is already motion-sensitive.
