Exclusive information from PlayStation Lifestyle reported a rumored "remote" for the Sony PS3 made by the PlayStation Underground. Along with the remote came already made games to feature this remote. PlayStation Lifestyle's proof for this copy-cat is a January email inviting PS3 owners to participate in a focus group held by the PlayStation Underground.

The rumor of said remotes, to me, basically sounds Wiimotes with the balance board incorporated into it. PlayStation Lifestyle recalled a moment when someone used the remote to play a paintball game using the remote. When the user crouched, so did the player. The "PS3motes" connect to the PS3 using a special tripod connected to the PS3 via USB port. But the tripod needs to be set up in the center of your gaming zone/room, so it may be remade. PlayStation Lifestyle described it as "batter standing above home plate."


To me, it sounds like more than a rumor, especially with all of these sources.
