The biggest news to come out of Sony's E3 keynote is that the PlayStation Move—the console's upcoming motion control add-on unveiled at GDC—finally has a price and a release date. PS3 owners in North America can expect to test the Move waters on September 19.

The controller and its various components can be purchased in several ways, with a few different bundles being offered by Sony. The controller itself will cost $49.99, while the subcontroller will be $29.99. You can also purchase one controller packed with a PlayStation Eye camera and a copy of Sports Champions for $99.99. For those without a PS3, that same bundle can be purchased alongside a PS3 Slim for $399.99.

According to Sony, since GDC, over 40 developers have begun working on Move games. A few were on display, including EA's Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11, and Sorcery: a new wizard-themed action game where you move the controller around like a wand, casting spells and attacking enemies.

In addition to the new games being developed with the Move in mind, a number of titles will also be patched to support the motion controller, including Heavy Rain, Resident Evil 5, and Toy Story 3.
