Blaze PS3 Motion Control To Cure Wii Envy?

One of the great things about the Playstation 3 is that you don’t have to get your lazy bum off the couch to enjoy some video games, but in any case, Blaze has a Playstation 3 motion controller to sell you. And it looks exactly like a Wii Remote, save for the black finish, the analog pad and the additional buttons you’d find on a traditional controller. All of which makes this claim seem kind of funny: “The BLAZE PS3 Motion Freedom 3D Controller has been ergonomically designed from the ground up (emphasis mine) to give superior gaming comfort when the going gets tough, ensuring you are in complete control no matter how full-on the game play gets!”

Blaze mentions “Tiger Woods Golf” and “Sega Tennis” as supported games (neither are proper game titles), and doesn’t get into technical details, but there are basically two possibilities here: The PS3 Motion Freedom 3D either replaces button presses with waggle commands, allowing you to shake the remote wildly to swing a tennis racket, or it truly encompasses 3D motion and is intended to be a third-party replacement for Sony’s own motion controls, which still haven’t been released. The lack of a price or release date makes tough to know for sure. [TFTS via Dvice]
