Am I the only one annoyed by the Sixaxis discontinuation?

Let me first clear this up: I find rumble incredibly obnoxious. Immersion? A shaking controller in your hands gives you immersion?

How about a slap in the face? How immersive would that be? So now I need to endure a standard controller with extra weight that shakes all over the place. Well, I can always turn it off. I can't turn the heft off, but I can turn the throttling effect off. Well, then, I'm rewarded with a $5 surcharge for this technology I've been aching to get rid of.

For your information, my Playstation 2's rumble is OFF at all times. Upon playing with my HELLSYEAH S CONTROLLER FOR THE XBOX! I got to experience rumble again (which I can't turn off) and was immediately confused at the suggestion that a controller without rumble isn't worth a damn. Rumble is teh suck. Equals obnoxious. Equals dumb. Get rid of it.

Oh, yeah, I forgot to ask, can you actually turn rumble off on the Dualshock 3?

Looks like my next spare controller is going to be the $30 battery operated and extremely slick Logitech PS3 controller.

You can turn off rumble in the controller settings menu, so relax.Pietrooper

Rumble can be useful in games but usually it's there to tell you something exploded near you.

The simple answer is

YES

Am I allowed to be annoyed at the $5 surcharge and meaningless extra heft?

So the sixaxis will be discontinued? as in all PS3's bought will have the DS3? because if thats the case, i may hold off and get the DS3 with my system. Any thoughts as too how soon the DS3's will be included with systems?Abstract_Choas

Probably as soon as they come out....all I know for sure is that the Metal Gear Solid Bundle, which comes out June 12 with the release of MGS4, has a DS3.

I have too agree rumble aint very good..

But I can live with it.. I dont even bother turning it off, doesn't add anything, doesn't really ruin anything..

I guess it eats battery though..

The DS3 is a much better controller. black_awpN1

How?

TC is just trying to hide the fact that last gen tech is being added to ps3s controller.....coz teh sonay said somingo123

It's not last-gen tech, it's obnoxious tech, IMO.

well first of, it has rumble. Secondly, from what I can tell from my Import one, The sticks are Steardier and the controller jsut feels more well put together.

I don't like rumble, I made that clear. Go ahead and tell me that it is a much better controller IN YOUR OPINION.

As far as the build quality, that's extremely good to hear.

The Dual Shock 3's analog sticks are more sensitive, and even with rumble the battery lasts LONGER than the sixaxis

This is the wave of the future:
