Keep them for when friends come over so they can use the crap ones. :D thats what Im doin. Luckily I only bought 2..haha. Well technically I bought 1, cuz one came with the ps3 also.
Umm Rumble isnt gonna break or make the controller ...
SONY changed the PS1 controller ... the added the analog sticks which was a moajor change to the controller design ... and somehow every1 was able to cope with it - so i doubt an enchanced Sixaxis controller with added rumble will affect old sixaxis controller owners much ...

choasgod
good point, i actually completely forgot about that
Man that is kind of jacked up for some ppl that have bought more then just a couple of controllers. Sony should offer up some type of rebate where you'll be to somehow return or controller for either full amount of a rumble or atlleast half price of one.
Did i miss something? Will there be new controllers for PS3 with added rumble functionality? Last time i read Immersion and Sony were working together in adding rumble functionality to Playstation products, they didn't say it was in the controller. It would be a good thing though.

Don't get the hopes up too much- they never said specifically anything about the PlayStation 3 controller in any of the press releases. We may see a SixAxis 2.0 somewhere down the road but don't expect any sort of unlockable bit in the current one or any sort of "exchange".
FYI-PS1 originally didint come with Rumble also the controller was called "dual analog controller" then they made dualshock if you still have the old school controller with no vibration i hear it sells alot on ebay
The funny thing is I hope they keep selling the controllers without rumble cause I hate rumble it always felt weird to me and unnatural and just added nothing for the game just a shakey controller.
Don't worry, some firmware updates will update the 'hidden' SIXAXIS compability :winkijcwordlife
Don't u think that Sixaxis CAN rumble even now but this function is off?Platin_ghost
just so you guys know, the SIXAXIS controller does not contain the force feedback that is patented by Immersion. Immersion's patent is for rotating motors that cause the vibration. As we have seen pictures of the current SIXAXIS controller, there are no motors. So this functionality does not currently reside in the current SIXAXIS. And don't try to say that Sony will "unlock" it with a firmware upgrade. If that was the case, then they would have already done that because, without the rotating motors, it does not infringe on Immersion's patents.
Im hoping what will happen is this. If Sony does implement the rumble in the sixaxis soon they do this. Let you send your sixaxis in exchange for a new one with rumble. They then take all the sixaxis we send without it, and refurbish them with the rumble and sell them at a used price to places like gamestop.
If Sony thinks that I"m gonna spend another $40-$50 bucks just because they're making something using the rumble feature again, they got another thing coming...
Not everyone loves rumble. You wont have to buy the Rumble one if you dont need it, if you do just hand the rumble less one to ur friend lol. Easy. Or just trade it in and put a few more bucks on top for a Rumble one
[QUOTE="Deihmos"]It's not like it will be back tomorrow. I am sure it will be a year or more.Dilrod
Who knows? Immersion announced along time ago they had the rumble ready to go without interfering with the motion sensing. But Sony has to think about if they want to do this. How will Sony look after all their, "Rumble is last gen. Motion-sensing is next-gen"? They could easily say that they listened to their customers but that doesn't always cut it.
so is this a fact allready? and is europe getting the sixaxis (my god what a stupid name...) with rumble at launch?danneswegman
no, Europe will not have rumble. now whether this is fact or not, read this article from IGN... http://ps3.ign.com/articles/769/769390p1.html Sony signed a business agreement to incorporate Immersion software into "Playstation Format products".
I won't change mine. I didn't buy new controllers when they released the Dualshock on the PS1, so I probably won't do the same on PS3 unless one of my controllers implode by some godly act.
I don't really care too much. But I bet the controllers will be even more expeensive:( I might get one later on, but controllers are almost as much as a game as of now, I bet the price will jsut go up more.

I think it's a fine reason. They do believe that it's last-gen, but if fans want it and it can sell some consoles, then why not add some last-gen tech?
does anyone know when its coming back? ....so ...what do we do with the old controllers? just toss them? LOL seems like a wasteGamerboi27
this year's holyday season should be the best time to start selling rumble capable ps3 controllers and ps3 consoles with these controllers either that or european launch, i'll buy my ps3 at the end of the year so whatever
does anyone know when its coming back? ....so ...what do we do with the old controllers? just toss them? LOL seems like a wasteGamerboi27
You use your current controllers untill new better ones are available. And when thet are u go buy one for yourself and let your friends use the old ones. No sony wont be allowing you to get refunds, maybe rebates on the new ones. Who would want my old greasy controller anyway the R2 button is almost damn worn out from playing RFOM and Motorstorm :lol:

if sony reinstall rumble in their controllers they admit they made a mistake to release launch controller without it and they give reason to a lot of people including Pete Hines from Bethesda:
IGN: What do you think about SIXAXIS?
Pete Hines: I think that its value depends upon the game. It didn't make sense on Oblivion but I'm sure there are some games it does make sense on. To be honest I would rather have the rumble instead of the SIXAXIS motion stuff.
IGN: Why's that?
Pete Hines: Well, I never owned a Sony console before now. I went straight from SEGA to Xbox, with a lot of PC gaming in between. I just never really had a reason to buy a Sony console. I mean, I played on one at my friend's house but I never felt the need to buy one. Everything I wanted to play was on Xbox. That meant I've really gotten used to having that rumble there when you play a game. When you get hit or if you crash a car it's nice to have that feedback. Likewise, when you're playing Oblivion it's nice to feel the weapons connecting with an opponent, so the absence of the rumble is notable when playing Elder Scrolls.

I read a lot of posts but I don't always post... that's why I'm level 20 with a low total posts like I have. Anyway it's his opinion I personally love Sony (I own a PS3, PS2 and a PSone) but I really don't get into the motion controller I prefer a lot the rumble. If they reinstall the rumble in their controllers it's a sign it was an error to not put the rumble in the controller at launch.
