The first title that will support rumble will be Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction. Joystiq says FW 1.94 is on the disc as well. Will this be a new trend? Warhawk will also rumble come this December.

I’ve read several places the the controller is region free. So a Japanese controller should work on any PS3 in the world. So will you import? Or will you wait until Spring 2008? I personally can’t wait, so me and Henning pre-ordered one (see story below).

PS3’s 1.94 firmware adds support for DualShock 3

Well, I bit the bullet. I followed Tosh’s lead today and pre-ordered a DUALSHOCK 3 from YesAsia.com. (Use the code WGASIA5 for $5 off. Thanks Tosh!) I already have four black SIXAXIS controllers, so I thought I’d do something different and get this one:

I know the price ($65) is a bit much, but hey. I know I’ll at least be able to use it with Warhawk come December. I hope other games issue rumble updates soon.

Once I get it, I’ll tell you all about it!

I know I’ve done this poll before, but some time has passed since then. And I’m curious. So which next-gen consoles do you own? Vote in the sidebar as always.
