Ratchet, Haze, Uncharted will all have rumble. I'm not entirely certain of this, but I think Resistance is going to get a rumble patch.

Yeah your correct Resistance will be recieving a patch as will Warhawk. Factor 5 is considering putting rumble in Lair and I don't see why Ninja Theory wouldn't either.

I most likely will import as soon as I get the chance. I remember last Christmas I couldn't find 1 PS3 controller so I had to import.

Isn't Sorny a reference from The Simpsons, where they go buy a new TV from the value priced store

The black man everyone at Activision can agree on
I confess that this is really not my song
I bought it in Hong Kong
It's a knock off

I confess that this is really not my voice
Although I had a choice
It's a knock off

So close to real
The look, the feel
So close, and yet
The paint's still wet

You keep thinking that you're really holding hands
Sorry, that's no hand
It's a knock off

Just my luck that I would look into your eyes
Then I realized
They were knock offs

So close to real
The look, the feel
So close and yet
The paint's still wet

I can guess that though you really wear it well
What you're wearing well
It's a knock off

And the Renoir you see hanging on the wall
Bought it at the mall
It's a knock off

So close to real
The look, the feel
So close and yet
The paint's still wet
 
can someone explain to me why everyone is jumping on the 'importing' bandwagon?

Is it going to be released in Japan before US? Only sold seperatley in Japan and only bundled in US? Whaa?

For some dumb reason ... it ain't coming to the west until next year.

Ill just wait it out, its only rumble, dont see a huge deal especially if no games even support it yet. It would be obvious that the controller will be released when games feature it, so it would be unnecessary to import it.

And even i am moderately surprised
its 5000 yen for a sixaxis, so i`m guessing even at a best case scenario you`ll be getting hit for $60 a DS3 on import.

I wonder what sony will do? I hope it`s a price cut for the six axis and DS3 replaces the sixaxis at 5000 yen.

thank god i didn`t support sony heavy at PS3 launch and bought 4 controllers.... oh wait...

Absolutely, even if for DMC4 and MGS4 alone. Hell either one solo is well worth it.

Can't tell if you really did buy 4 controllers (its late here :p) but is there even a game on PS3 that is 4 players and worth playing right now?

the best multiplayer console shooter just so happens to support 4 player split screen on the fly.

i did - my theory was that i would be buying 4 controllers anyways, so might as well get them at launch. Plus i`d still need 4 controllers for BC too.

4 players - Warhawk :D

back then ? not as such.

My question is what is the play time of a Sixaxis? What is the playtime of a Sixaxis with somewhat "Worn" batteries? Figure this thing is going to have about HALF of both of those times.

I`m glad you love Halo 3 so much, but is there any need to derail a Sony thread with this bunk?

Ill be picking one up so i can get my rumble on with gt5p and dmc4

GT5P should have rumble when it launches considering Kaz described the PS3 initially not having rumble as being "devastating".
 
If the patches come out before the controller I'd be surprised.
If they do, and a software update adds rumble to backwards compatibility i'll import of course

i thought I read somewhere about an article mentioning about the DS3 compatibility with the released games and someone from SCEA said we can import the DS3 from other regions but the software patches will only be updated once DS3 is officially launched in the said region?

Thinking about it more, the most I would be willing to pay is 70 with shipping. Any more and it would really upset me, until I feel the sweet vibration next to my bussom.

Gotcha, that's all i was asking. I was under the assumption it was Spring 08 worldwide. That's pretty lame though.

And thanks. I love downs cat.

Since I've stopped realizing the controller actually rumbled many, many years ago. I'll just wait till it comes out here, and I need a 3rd and 4th controller.

Go play a 360 (halo 3 and bioshock are great games for rumble) and you'll never want to use the Sixaxis ever again.

I owned a PS3, returned it because it felt like it wasn't worth $600 - got a 360 instead and the biggest thing that blew me away wasn't the graphics, the huge library, or xbox live....but it was the feel of feedback in my hands again.

Different strokes for different folks. I didn't think rumble mattered that much to anyone.

I'm importing for Uncharted, DMC4, and MGS4.

I sort of want to hold off on playing Ratchet for a month and experience it with rumble for the first time...but I doubt I can do it.

That would take more nerd willpower than I can muster.
