Didn't want to bump one of the old Move threads for such a simple question, so here it is, those of you with Move, did you also buy one of the navigation controllers? I ask because I've got 2 Move controllers and really only played the Sports bundle for now; I haven't had a lot of time for video games recently. I was just playing through the Heavy Rain demo using a Move controller and the SixAxis as the navigation controller and with my large hands, didn't really have a problem just holding it in one hand. However, I'm wondering if it gets annoying in the more long term? What do you guys think?

Sorry I am not answering your question but how many controllers exactly make up the move system? There's the Dual Shock, some Wii-stick like controller with glowing orbs and now there's another stick controller called the Navigation controller?!?

The navigation controller is basically akin to the nunchuck of the Wii....half of a controller with an analog nub and some buttons, used for movement and such. You can typically just hold a dualshock in your off-hand while rested on your lap though, so there's not much need to purchase the nav controller unless holding the dualshock with one hand just isn't comfortable.

As for the original question, I never did buy a nav controller and didn't see the point right now, but I simply haven't played many Move games outside of Sports Champions and Tumble.

I bought 2 and i should of just purchased one. I used it when i ran through Resident Evil 5 and Heavy Rain again. Other than that, they are collecting dust for now.

That's my primary concern. Using it once for a playthrough of Heavy Rain and then never using it again; effectively adding 30 bucks to the cost of Heavy Rain. I suppose it all depends on how well future games support move with navigation. Hmm. I might try to tough out one handing the SixAxis and see what happens.

Nope, and I haven't needed one either. All I've used it for so far is the sports bundle and that's fine for me.
