The Harmonix-Neversoft drum war officially begins
Street Fighter IV online lag proving tricky to conquerThe 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.

Why would Eurogamer need to tell Sony that the DS3 works on PS2 games? Oh, ok. I misread it. I guess I'm just reading all the articles looking for flaws :p There have been tons of them lately.
Muzikguy: No, Sony told Eurogamers that the DS3 works with PS2 games now, because it didn't before.
Hey God of war are you ready to get replayed? nice, i still want to import one.
Great.I just cann't wait to have this pad in my hands.Thanks a million Sony
"...improved rumble features" ??? More info please, I thought Sony confirmed the rumble was identicle to DS1 & 2.
I Just got my Dual Shock 3 Yesterday and have been playin resistence all over again and the uncharted demo
The DS3 is there for people who missed the rumble in games.
Honestly, Motorstorm with added rumble!!!
I hope COD4 has a rumble function, it would make online play even more traumatic.
I wonder if this possibly means that a PS2 controller would rumble for PS3 games.. I have a SmartJoy USB adaptor for PS2 controllers (I originally got it for my PC), and it works with the PS3.. maybe I'll hook it up and see if it rumbles later.
yeah i need impressions of the ds3, is it harder impact do you feel rumble in certain areas at times i need real impressions man not fanboys who is waiting on it to come here to the u.s
My new DS3 came in yesterday. It blows away the sixaxis. japanvideogames.com super fast shipping.
