Sony announces PS Move Sharp Shooter, new controller photo

Sony announced two new accessories today, both of which are set to coincide with the launch of Killzone 3 in February. The first one, a gun shell for the PlayStation Move dubbed the Sharp Shooter, is a bit overkill. I suppose when it comes to the weapon-shaped controller market, overkill is the name of the game, though.

The Sharp Shooter will run you $39.99 when it hits store shelves, and the Jungle Green DualShock 3 controller (viewable in the gallery below) comes with a $54.99 price tag. I dig that they opted for a less in-your-face color, but I'm sure someone will hate it and want to kick my cat for being positive.

Who's it going to be?

I don't like the black bottom, but I've never been a fan of double color controllers. The green isn't bad though. What I don't understand is the casing for the Move. That looks incredibly childish.

I think sofik88 would like to have a word with you and your cat.

Honestly, I can't help but wonder how well that contraption works. I'd like to try it.

White gun.....black controllers.....why? It just looks off. Otherwise, it looks pretty cool. Not $39.99 cool, but pretty neat.

i'm confused by this accessory looking at it from a distance all i could think was "wahh, sony made a dildo gun?" looking at it up close though, umm why does the navigation controller have to be under the move wand? is it necessary to use and if so that just looks uncomfortable. oh sony you and your silly game accessories.

And so it begins...
The Wii Zapper was ugly. But the Dildo zapper...I mean, the Move Gun...looks far worse.

I usually hate all controller housing, but apart from the heinously cheap choice of color, I think the gun case actually looks decent.

The DS3 controller is the boss here. It looks like a controller that a military would use.

so far i haven't liked the move perhiperal attachments but the sharp shooter looks like that might change for the better. It looks solid and non flimsy but I'll wait till I see more.

I wonder what would happen if you tried to rob a bank with one of those.

Puzzled as to why they chose PS1 gray for the gun shell. Make it in black and I will consider.

I'm pretty sure Sony wanted to avoid cops pulling out their own real guns on anyone stupid enough to carry it if it was black or very dark.

Ah, that would make sense. They could have made it pure white or someother color then.

Guess they don't want to mistaken the pure white for a Wii peripheral?

Yep, it's an enhanced Wii Zapper. Note the word "enhanced". But yes if people would be so technical about it, they're the same.

Shut up, robot.

Anyway, foregrip's a nice touch but I have to wonder if it's putting the Navigation controller at an awkward angle. I'd prefer a foregrip that was perpendicular to the gun itself.

Also, apparently the gun, judging from the fact it has PS buttons on it, will use some sort of direct connection to the Move controller, which is about freaking time. I would have liked better placement for those buttons though. I mean, you REALLY couldn't have relocated those buttons so I could access them with my thumb instead of my trigger finger, Sony?

Holy shit I love that gun. It looks awesome. Not $40 bucks awesome, but I'd buy that if it came down another $10 or $15.

I'm not sure I'm feeling using that gun for a FPS when there is already a gun being displayed on the screen... seems sort of redundant. If killzone 3 were a lightgun game it would make more sense... or if could remove the gun from the screen and just use controller/shell to move around and shoot.

the ball on the move controllers looks dated.

I must admit I would like to see how this plays with KZ3, but I've never been one to throw cash down on silly plastic accessories...

the bright glowing ball allows cops to identify the "shell" as a "toy" and not a lethal weapon in order to prevent unfortunate "accidents' involving "children."

That submachine gun things looks pretty damn cool. I have two of them smaller Move gun and they are BY FAR the best "attachement" gun things for videogames that I have ever used.

I picked up two different Wii ones and they are both piles of crap and super hard to use, they force you to shoot with the hand closest to the tv, while the hand closest to your face does nothing...so awkward.

And the vast majority of you guys will learn as soon as you use it that you're actually extremely terrible at shooting and aiming and whine a ton.

Why is the exact same ugly cheap ass looking ball on the move controllers as well then?

The controller holder looks like an awesome old school PS acessory. But shoutouts to the Master Chief colored Dualshock 3.
