PS3 firmware update adds DualShock rumble

via Computer and Video Games


It's been confirmed that the latest PlayStation 3 firmware update (to version 1.94) adds support for the forthcoming rumble-enabled DualShock 3 - though it's not available for download yet.

The update is being bundled with Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction (the first PS3 game to support rumble), which is due to arrive in the shops on November 9.

Those of us who already have copies of the game (a bit of willy waving there for you) will know that by pressing the PS button, the DualShock 3's vibration can be toggled on and off from the in-game controller setting menu. Riveting stuff.

Sony's planning to ship out the new pad in Japan this November, with a US and European release bizarrely planned for next year.

Don't wait around for your rumble; import a controller, we say.

is this a good idea with the motion sensor included??

This is just a kick in the balls! 9th november day after i hit 16 w00t.

Options of where to import from are beginning to run thin...do it fast before Success-HK gets shut down too.
