So, Microsoft showed off full-body remote control last night with Natal (we say, "Naytal"). Now, the rumour has it that Sony will pull a Wii Remote-like PS3 motion controller out of its trousers at its E3 press briefing tonight.

According to unnamed sources talking to industry bible MCV, developers have already been briefed on the device. It's been describes as 'wand-like'... it's also be described as "dildo like" but that's not for the eyes of our gentle readers.

Yesterday Microsoft pulled out a (so-far) impressive motion-sensing peripheral that requires users to do nothing but move in front of their telly. Get the official bumpf here and see it being demoed here.

The heat is on, Sony...

Check back after 7pm tonight to see how this one pans out.
