GAMING NEWSSony's Patent For DualShock/Move Hybrid Controller ApprovedPosted on Friday, November 30 @ 12:21:37 Eastern by Alex_Osborn
Ever wished you could rip your PlayStation 3 controller apart and have two Move wands? Yeah, me neither, but it looks like Sony's patent application for the “Hybrid Separable Motion Controller” that was filed last year has just been approved.
The patent, which was first spotted by thesixthaxis, details the controller's magnetic connection, allowing users to pull the device apart and connect it back together with ease. As one would expect, each half has accelerometer, speaker and vibration support. ![]() What do you think of this crazy controller? Do you think Sony's motion controller is popular enough to merit the production of such a device? Let us know in the comments below. [Via] More from the Game Revolution Network Comments

I think one of the biggest problems with getting Move and Kinect into widespread sales and use (aside from terrible motion games) was actually having to buy the accessories separately, while Nintendo had their motion controls right out of the box as the system's key feature. But even Nintendo had that problem when trying to get people in with Wii MotionPlus.

so you people out there with those ******* Decepticon-***** "Move" controllers really prefer that to the GUN CON II with blowback?
If you truly do...then you have no idea what motion-based gaming is supposed to be.
I'm already 100% certain I won't be buying a PS4.
