To rumble or not to rumble? That has been the question for a while now, actually ever since Sony revealed that the Sixaxis PS3 controller didn’t have a rumble feature. New and fresh rumors are circulating, indicating that Sony has already shipped prototypes of rumble-enabled Sixaxis controllers to developers. As usual, nothing is official until Sony says it is, and they have been swiftly denying rumors for a long time now.

1Are they shipping it without announcing anything? And I was told the rumble feature would have problems with the sensitivity.
It will be great if this is real. A DualShock 3 controller will surely be popular among all existing ones.

2Not shipping, but merely giving developers a chance to test out prototype versions. The controllers will most like not ship until holiday 2007 season (November-ish), if the rumor is true.

3How pitiful. If this is true, we will never enjoy the rumble on actual games.

4They’re already struggling to properly implement the motion sensing features.

5Motion Sensing is harder to implement but the rumble feature gives a great feeling touch to every game. Combined they make you feel like you’re inside the game.

6Sure, but the rumble might interfere with the motion sensing, if you know what I mean. This poses a big challenge to developers (I can imagine).

7Yeah I wrote that on my 1st post too. They need to invent something new to prevent interference.

8yeah, why would u ship items like this without announcing them? Now, I can understand a game u know? If halo 3 were go to the pc and 360 more copies would be sold on the pc probably. Even though MS pwns windows on computer’s the game’s save the consoles from selling dirt cheap.
