PlayStation Move Sharp Shooter Attachment for Killzone 3 Launched by Sony Itself

While most accessories for the various PS3 controllers (including here the Move) are manufactured by 3'rd party companies, it seems that Sony has decided to roll out such a product of its own and unveiled the PlayStation Move sharp shooter, designed specifically in order to improve motion control for shooter games.

According to an entry by Anand Agarwal, Product Marketing Manager, Hardware at Sony, on the PlayStation Blog, the PlayStation Move sharp shooter houses both the motion controller and navigation controller, giving users complete control over aiming, movement and interaction within the game.

The new controller accessory was designed for both comfort and precision, including easily accessible buttons, a responsive digital trigger, adjustable shoulder stock and convenient access to the navigation controller.

In addition, the sharp shooter has incorporated a firing mode selector, realistic pump-action and a reload button that allow for new ways of engagement.

The PlayStation Move sharp shooter was designed specifically with games such as Killzone 3 and SOCOM 4: U.S. Navy SEALs in mind and even comes with a Killzone 3 and SOCOM 4 sticker pack.

Other compatible titles include Time Crisis: Razing Storm and Dead Space Extraction, but you can expect many more upcoming games that will work with it as well.

As hinted right from the title, the accessory will be available concurrently with the launch of Killzone 3 in February 2011 for $39.99 (MSRP), which is a very OK price point, especially since this product comes directly from Sony.

And speaking of Killzone 3, it seems that Sony's got even more surprises lined up, since the company also revealed that a new “Jungle Green” DUALSHOCK 3 wireless controller will also be available in February 2011 for $54.99 (MSRP), also related to the launch of the upcoming title, which Sony seems to already be very seriously promoting.
