markie816 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I am looking to buy some new move controllers for a while now. I don't know why but they are sold out for almost a month now. Not in one store but almost all stores. Is there a reason for this? Or doen anyone know more about this. Note: I am from the Netherlands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkb0nl_lx Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Use controllers from PS3 they are cheapest than PS4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDiivil Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 As far as I can see, stores in Finland have them in stock. If they're really nowhere to be found in The Netherlands, you could probably order a set from Germany or somewhere else close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashero Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 (edited) Hi, I am currently living in Belgium (Antwerp) - they are in my local Media Markt and Carrefour - 70 euro per 2 pcs set which is btw RIDICULOUS price! The reason is simple -> PS VR. 26 minutes ago, darkb0nl_lx said: Use controllers from PS3 they are cheapest than PS4 Wait... What?... :/ It is exactly the same accessory from PS3 age and before PS VR you could buy new ones like for 18-25E (In Poland even cheaper lol). Since PS VR appeared the price of Move went crazy high! Bloody marketing! No need to buy new one (unless you really want to...)! Since I was missing one, I bought it recently for 18E in second hand shop - there is a lot of them here around Antwerp (shops , not sure about Moves).

The moves currently being sold through retail use micro USB instead of mini USB, and they have little text designating the select and start buttons as share and options. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know and didn't check that - obvious that they could be revised! Thanks for the correction! @darkb0nl_lx Pardon! Now I understand what you meant!

StrickenBiged Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 They're almost completely cold out in the UK too, at the time of writing. I get very lucky yesterday at my local exchange shop. Even though the website said that they didn't have any stock of PS Move controllers, I popped in on a whim and saw a pair sat in the window. The store clerk said they had only been delivered that morning, and they hadn't had the chance to update the website yet. So I bought them. Had to pay a bit more than a new boxed pair retails for but hey, now I can play Move enabled games, and don't have to wait for stock to come back in.

markie816 Posted January 9, 2019 Author Share Posted January 9, 2019 (edited) Thanks for responses maybe will order it from germany or go to belgium. Was actually hoping that somebody heard that some new controllers for psvr were coming. But guess won't be soon. Will just buy the ones which are now in the market Edited January 9, 2019 by markie816 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfraRedPS Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 There are rumours of new style controllers in design that give more control like other VR systems but I think that’s just from people finding a new Sony patent. The aim controller is the issue for me, it’s like they’ve stopped making them?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Often in a pack with a game like Bravo Team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mecharobot Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Interesting. I might try buying a set off a friend, since I doubt he cares about his ps3 stuff anymore. There's exactly one game I might need it for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markie816 Posted January 17, 2019 Author Share Posted January 17, 2019 I found out that they are hard to find online. But went to Intertoys (toy store in the netherlands) and they had it in store. Called with sony and contacted some online stores. But all they say is that they don't know anything about it or that they are now allowed to say something about it.

Better battery too, most importantly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
