It's about time!

I've had a PS3 since day one and I've only played one game on it. ALL games get Xbox 360 preference because of the lack of rumble. I wish they would redesign the controller a bit. I find the 360 controller much more comfortable. Especially for 1st person shooters. (I don't like my thumbs bumping together) All told... This is great news. Maybe my PS3 will do something other than Blu-Ray this year.

Wow your thumbs must be huge! I personally dont like the 360 controller. Its just a copy of the ps3 only the analog stick its WAY up there. It really just depends on who you are.

Could've Done What I Did
by goldberg3971 February 27, 2008 12:20 PM PST
Just go onto eBay and get it. It's like $5 extra but it's worth it. The only difference is the packaging is in Japanese. And I got the ceramic white version. If I remember correctly I read on some site that the white will stay Japanese exclusive and all USA gets is the black.

FINALLY SONY!!!
by hismerecry February 27, 2008 2:44 PM PST
Well finally we see the rumble feature. I guess I can understand why since the SIXAXIS? Wireless Controller utilizes breakthrough technology and a highly sensitive motion sensing system so as the user moves the controller, the game moves with it. So putting in a rumble feature must have definitely been a huge challange to accomplish! Much kudos to Sony!!!

Battery Life?
by thowe21 February 27, 2008 3:02 PM PST
I wonder what the DS3 will do to the battery life of the controller. I've been pretty happy with the Sixaxis battery life, but all that constant rumbling has got to use up a lot of juice.

I dont think its that big of a deal, I just put off buying another controller to add on for a few months. I had to go with only two for a while but it'll be worth it.

Don't really miss it.
by cpopken February 27, 2008 8:48 PM PST
To be honest I don't really miss the lack of rumble. I always thought of it more of a gimmick than anything. But some people can't seem to live without it so this is a very good move. At least they priced it right.
