Sony have only announced one Move PS3 bundle at Gamescom and it's the most expensive one at €350. If they're not bundling it with entry-level machines in any form, they're not being properly serious about extending the platform.

- Start date
Maybe not, but then the difference between the €299 and the €349 is Move bundled and 160GB more HDD space - that's a lot of value though for a small price difference.
There's a QA on the PlayStation blog that reports the Move game demos that come on the disk in the Move bundle will be available for download, so the bundle is only really the camera and controller and no added value. The Sports Champions demo has Table Tennis and Disc Golf to try. Nice to know.
sony are aiming to shift 500,000 move units in germany in the first 6 months

I'm pretty sure it's not a Sports Champions Demo, it's the full game.

Move Starter Kit - PSEye, Move controller and starter disk of demos. All the demos on that disk will be available to download from PSN. The SC demo will have the Table Tennis and Disc Golf.
ShopTo have some good prices on Move stuff BTW.
In EU the bundle seems to include only the camera, one Move controller and the Sports Champions demo disc.
Good that the demos will be downloadable too, I was pondering between the bundle and the separate items, but preordered two Move controllers and one Navigation controller, I already have the camera.
Those cost me €118.70.

It's a mixed demo disk. That PSN Blog QA had more information.
Yes, the bundle seemed far better value, but as those with the Eye can get the same trial experiences, it doesn't suck so much for those who were early adopters of Sony's underused camera. Just totalling up ShopTo, that comes to €92 at ShopTo. Bargain!
Speaking of bundles, reading the Kinect overview link posted by scently, Kinect doesn't seem such good value for those buying a 4GB pack. The 4GB console they say is $250/£150. Kinect is $150/£130 including Kinect Adventures, for a grand price of $400/£280. The bundle deal is XB360+Kinect $300/£250, without game. Stateside that's $100 saving, but only ~$40-50 if you buy a $50-60 Kinect game. Over here it's a £30 saving without game, which means your final tally adding something to play will be as much as buying separates if not more!
This ties in with the NPD sales thread and the suggesting people buying XB360's now aren't interested in the bundle; the bundle doesn't see you much better off, so there's little reason to wait.

Ah, then that summary lied!

That about sums it up.
As that's from a EU mouthpiece, it could just mean the EU market and getting all of the commands localised. Maybe it'll still launch in the US?
That would be a real kick in the bollocks though for EU'ers, paying more again for getting less.
