Motion-based control is coming to the Xbox 360. We initially thought Microsoft would be the first to the table but PDP beat them to the punch. The Gametrak Freedom from PDP will offer wireless motion-based controls using Microsoft’s proprietary wireless protocol. The Gametrak uses a 3D ultrasonic transducer and a three axis accelerometer to detect motion. You’ll also find a trigger on the under side, as well as the 360’s familiar four button configuration and a D-pad.

Unlike Nintendo’s solution, which uses one point of detection, the Gametrak uses two sensor bars that sit on opposite sides of the TV.
We got to briefly try out the Gametrak Freedom with Squeeballs, a game that PDP will bundle with the controller. PDP says we should expect the controller out in the fall bundled with Squeeballs for about $70 to $75.
