Sony's new motion controller has gone on display at the Gamescom video games show in Cologne.
Sony has unveiled two new models of PlayStation 3 which have larger hard drives.
The existing 250GB model will be replaced by a 320GB version which will be sold as an exclusive PlayStation Move bundle costing £284.88.
From October the 120GB model will be phased out and replaced by a 160GB version which will cost £249.99 - the same price as the original.
The announcement came at the gamescom video games conference in Cologne.
Sony said the extra storage was being offered because of the increase in downloadable games and films.
It was confirmed that the PlayStation Move, Sony's new motion control offering, will be released in the UK on 15 September.
