Playstation 3 motion controller comes with Kirby action figure
Look, Sony, I know you've had a rough time of it. I say this as one of the mean kids who's taken his turn picking on you. But you've made it easy for us. Playstation 3 bashing has long been a co-dependent endeavor. But we're just starting to break out of the cycle. You've had some great games, some solid hardware revisions, some exciting holiday release buzz. It's been good lately, right?
So when you unveiled the final model of next year's motion controller, which was a pleasant surprise at E3, I hope that pink ball on top was just a protective cover you forgot to take off. That's not really going to be on there, is it? You're so close to getting it just right. I couldn't care less if it handles like a Wii-mote. That's actually a good thing. But I guarantee you're in for a world of ridicule if you don't de-Kirby that thing pronto.
(Here's DVICE's take.)

Looks like a sex toy.

I am not interested in motion control in any form... no matter how deliciously sexy it looks.
Show me a recliner, a beer, and a bag of dorritos opened at the wrong end, and I will show you a true gamer. This whole flapping your arms to do stuff has the same appeal to me as yoga.

It changes color, so maybe you should consider that it comes with a Locoroco figure instead. The one Kaz is showing is pseudo-french. The black one is sorta embarassing.

I don't think the "kirby action figure" is the biggest problem with this remote... though you probably just didn't want to say it...
there's also the face that this device is just a complete rip on Nintendo's wiimote

"I couldn't care less if it handles like a Wii-mote. That's actually a good thing."? Tom, didn't you have a big thing about how the Wii motion controls have ruined games?

That is the lamest looking lightsaber I have ever seen.

Kaz is such a turd. There's absolutely no aestetic appeal to this thing whatsoever. It's the type of thing the cops would shoot for, thinkin' it's a weapon.. a prostitute would try to accost you for, thinkin' it's a sex toy.. and your mom would disown you for, thinkin' you're a pervert.

Gah, I'm so sick of goddamned motion controls. I hate this and I hate "Natal". Give me a mouse and keyboard or a gamepad over that crap any day.

I hate to defend Sony but it changes color -_-
Thanks for making me feel emotional pain.

It actually does change color and when it's not powered on I bet it's simply a clear or white plastic. Also when it comes down to it, who cares if it's pink or blue or green or yellow!? Christ, man up buttercup!
If you really have that much of an issue holding something pink your not very sure of your own sexuality. Real men can wear pink and make it look manly. Sony can put out a motion controller with a pink top and it'll still rock seeing as it already has more subtle motion abilities then the Wiimote. (Tickling ribs of a skeleton at E3, being able to Legibly write one's name without it looking like a monkey's retarded nephews left handed technique.)

here is absolutely nothing wrong with meaningful games. Just don't expect it from something that wouldn't benefit from it.
