Sony to Rumble again?
Yahoo has word that Sony and Immersion have settled their lawsuit concerning the rumble feature in the Playstation controllers and have signed a new deal together which will bring Immersion technology back to Playstation
So it seems the Sixaxis controller will soon be getting its rumble feature back. The rumble feature that only a couple of days ago was dismissed by Sony as a "last-gen feature". Guess it wasn't so last-gen that they wanted to skip it completely...
"We are pleased to have put this litigation behind us," said Immersion CEO Victor Viegas. "Our new business agreement with Sony Computer Entertainment is specifically intended to enable advanced vibration capability for the benefit of the PlayStation gaming community. We are happy to provide our technology in this regard and hope to make technical proposals very soon with respect to use of our technology in the PlayStation products."

Although i own their machine and want and to see some good games on it i really hope it comes in third place against Wii and X360.
My PS2 was allways secondary to my Xbox and the PS3 at the moment is hardly used compared to my X360, not overly impressed with it other than Motor Storm and i honestly pity anyone who only owns a PS3 and no other console.
Maybe when they are shoe horning in rumble they will fix the shit second bumper trigger type buttons.
