The new DualShock 3 controller is finally here (well, in Japan at least) and is taking advantage of Sixaxis technology as well as an improved rumble features. However, how expansive is the DS3?
Last week, during a test run with the DualShock 3, Eurogamer revealed that rumble with PS2 games did not appear to be functioning. This was before the introduction of the PS3’s 2.0 firmware and since things many new possibilities has opened up.
Eurogamer has now received confirmation from Sony that the DualShock 3 controller does indeed rumble with PlayStation 2 titles, pending whether or not the game was originally compatible with rumble and works on the PS3.
Games that already support the new feature includes: Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction, Resistance: Fall of Man, and Motorstorm.
The official European and North American release for DualShock 3 is spring 2008. Please stay tuned to PSU for more DualShock 3 information.

Really, I don't know what the big fuss is all about when it comes to rumble. Unless it provides something revolutionary. I won't be needing the DS3.

Honestly, Motorstorm with added rumble!!!
I hope COD4 has a rumble function, it would make online play even more traumatic.

it seems like some ppl underestimate the advantages that rumble have... you really say you don't need it... try playing SOCOM C.A. without... let's see how fast it takes you to figure out that your getting shot...
