SixAxis Rumble exists - we've played it!

CVG has just had a go on Burnout Paradise using a fully operational rumbling SixAxis PlayStation pad. Yes, we're just as surprised as you are...

Seeing as though Sony has yet to officially announce that the rumbling Dual Shock 3 pad even exists, you'd think EA's party organisers would have ordered in regular SixAxis pads for the event. But it seems they didn't.

From our quick hands-on it was everything you'd expect really. It felt heavier compared to the feather weight SixAxis, looked exactly the same, and rumbled. But what did you expect? Pressure sensitive buttons?

We're hearing whispers from Tokyo that the new SixAxis will be officially unveiled by Sony boss, Kaz Harai, during his keynote speech sometime in the next 24 hours, give or take a time zone. It kicks off at 2:30am in the morning (GMT) for those who work in security.

When we contacted SCEE it expectedly wouldn't offer a comment.

I would believe it when it is announced by sony and it hits the shops.

Hopefully future ps3 consoles will come bundled with the rumble -__-
