This wouldn't be the first time a console maker changed the original controller (Xbox- Duke to Controller S and the PS1 as mentioned above to name a few). I am hoping that they somehow come out with a controller with rumble. I really like the feature in games and hope Sony somehow gets it back into the SIXAXIS before I buy my PS3.

But that doesn't change the fact that they <strong>seem</strong> to have a rumble solution that doesn't violate Immersion's patents. As well, you can't deny that a controller with rumble is better than a controller without, all other things being equal. I actually miss rumble more than I thought I would. It's not a deal breaker, of course, but I'd like it back. I agree that this is a PR effort on SplitFish’s part.

It would not divide "haves" with "have-nots". It is not an essential upgrade like the 32x for the Sega Genesis (or Mega Drive in Europe or Japan). Sony did this with the PSone also. Analogue sticks and rumble were nowhere to be seen yet (in console bundles). Even Nintendo had the rumble addon for the N64. But, as it is not a joint venture announcement, it is rather likely that SplitFish has no agreement with Sony (yet) and tries to persuade them through this announcement. I wouldnt mind rumble, but I dont miss it. Most of the time, I switch it off. My old PS1 pad (w/o analogue sticks) doesnt have it, yet I use it frequently for games like Tekken. And yes, it would be the best controller, if it had rumble. Combining both worlds, yet not disbanding the "handiness" of the design (I cant imagine games like Tekken or Metal Gear with the Wiimote).
