Sony announced the date its entry into the motion control war (the Move), as well as how much we can expect to pay for it, at their E3 press conference today. Europeans can expect the device to ship on September 15th, with North America receiving it on September 19th, and Japan on October 21, 2010. The main move controller will be priced separate for $49.99, with the sub-controller priced at $29.99. The wand controller will also be offered in a bundle with the Playstation Eye camera for $99.99, or with the Eye camera and a PS3 unit for $399.99.
That seems way too high. And I thought Wii controllers were expensive…

$50 is too much for the wand alone… it should be $50 for the wand and the nunchuck!

It’s not too expensive. It’s only $10 more than the Wii equivalent.
Wii Remote + MotionPlus = $49.99 MSRP
PS Move Controller = $49.99 MSRP
Wii Nunchuk = $19.99 MSRP
PS Move Navigation Controller = $29.99 MSRP
And you have to keep in mind that the Wii Remote & Nunchuk are now cheaper than they were at launch.
Either way–the price is just fine for what it does.
