SIXAXIS Rumble

UPDATED 9/20/2007 12:00 AM: As anticipated, Kaz Hirai officially announced the Dualshock 3, PlayStation 3 controller with rumble. Metal Gear Solid 4 and Devil May Cry 4 will feature full-support out of box and functionality for past titles may be incorporated in time. Expect a spring 2008 release in the States, with exact dates and pricing to be announced down the line.

ORIGINAL: One of the major complaints leveled against the PlayStation 3 was Sony’s choice to forgo rumble functionality in its SIXAXIS controller, replacing it with shoddy motion-sensing.

However, that may soon change. EA demoed Burnout Paradise for the PS3 at a pre-TGS event this morning. Attendees noticed something odd about the controllers they held, which did in fact rumble in-hand and bore a conspicuous sticker that read “RUMBLE.”

Expect an official announcement from Kaz Hirai at Sony’s keynote tomorrow.
