From the front

German manufacturer Snakebyte has emerged as the first manufacturer to offer its own line of PlayStation Move controllers, starting in January 2011.

Recent PS3 firmware updates have rendered some third-party controllers out of action, but Snakebyte has a cunning plan, equipping its controllers with the ability to receive firmware updates via USB.

As well as putting out its own version of the Move and Navigation, Snakebyte is also launching its own camera, called the "snake-eye", which comes with its own handy TV mount.

Will you be picking up any of these unofficial controllers next year?
