You think Sony allow you to trade-in non-rumble obsolete controllers...

   For rumble controllers? That is if it happens. Id think it would make alot of PS3 gamers upset if they are like me and bought 2 or more SIXAXIS controllers already. Even if they made you trade them in if you included the controller and maybe $5 or $10 id do it. Thoughts?

Didn't Nintendo have some sort of exchange setup where you could return your vanilla DS for a reduction in price of the DS Lite?

Also, the ps3 is far more expensive an investment than previous iterations of the console.  Spending even more money on an already very expensive purchase would definetely annoy many fans.  Back in the playstation 1 days, it was fairly cheap to buy the console, so buying new controllers wasn't a big deal.

i just don't care about a rumble controler, it doesn't had anything to a game expérience and i really enjoy a light controller .

Its not like if the controller has some kind of malfunction .

It was all marketing. Everyone heard about Immersion's lawsuit so Sony did the wisest thing available. They pretended like they would never ever reincorporate rumble into their controls knowing full well people would still buy the PS3 and possibly buy additional controllers. Then after all the additional controllers started selling, they'd be making enough money to pay off Immersion and go into works for a dualshock sixaxis thus making anyone with 2 controls go out and buy a 3rd. More profit. They basically payed off Immersion at the expense of the consumers and are still in line to make further profits when the new controller releases.

 I never bought my 2nd control because I just knew they'd come out w/ a rumble sixaxis shortly after launch. It was easy to see after what happened w/ the original PS1 controller converting to the analog controllers. By a certain point you actually needed them.

right or wrong, legally Sony doesnt have to if you bought extra contollers

at the very least, offer to replace the one controller that came with the system. Thats it.

if you bought extra contollers, then that was you decision, and Sony isnt obligated to replace those contollers

Yeah I would be pissed only because of the fact that they said its not possible with the motion sensing.  I say leave it out and not piss alot of people.  Let 3rd party do it, so the salt will be sprinkle on the wound and poured.  But yeah they should have a trade in policy but I doubt it.  If it doesnt catch fire or anything like that then why replace it for free.balindos
