We can't enjoy it at release, but Haze will have rumble

OK, so the video above is silly showing that an injection of the steroid/hallucinogen "Nectar" from the game Haze will cause the Sixaxis to rumble like it's the recently announced DualShock 3. But it is nice to know that Haze will ship with rumble in the coding -- even if we can't use it at launch.

Looks like the Japanese, who will have the DualShock 3 this year, will be the only ones to enjoy rumble with their Haze at release. Everyone else on this little blue planet has to wait until early '08. Many of the games currently in development for the PS3 are being designed with rumble in mind and older PS3 games will supposedly receive patches. The guys at PS3 Fanboy tell us that if you really need to rumble with Haze you can always import a DualShock 3 from Japan and it should work fine. We'd prefer to wait for Sony to make some minimal-cost customer-friendly Sixaxis to DualShock 3 exchange program, but we're not holding our breath.

Were not laughing because fans are making a big deal out of it, we are laughing because Sony is.

Rumble is last gen. If it was why is not only its being included, but also hyped to Halo 3 epic proportions by the company. Fuckers.

I own a PS3, and I make fun of Sony and their fanboys all the time.

Why? Because I also have a 360 and a Wii.

I really enjoy trashing Sony because I have a hope that one day all this criticism will in turn give me a reason to play my PS3 rather than just watch blu-ray movies on it. I've played two games on my PS3 since I got it.

Motorstorm and Ninja Gaiden Sigma.

I've had it since launch, but I didn't play it for the longest time since my wonderful $500 investment (I have a 20GB model) couldn't upscale Resistance to 1080i. I didn't pay that kind of money to play games in 480p. On a 50" screen it looks like garbage.

Meanwhile, my 360, which cost me $100 less, has rumble AND has no problem upscaling games has been getting quite the workout for the past two years.

I think that people who dont have a specific console are the people with the best POV to argue against said console, because those are the very people any console manfufacture REALLY cares about. The people who havent bought your console(yet?) you see where im going with this people?

exactly

Ummm, no. That only makes partial sense if they don't own ANY console. Otherwise you wind up with fanboys who feel the need to defend their console of choice.

i don't feel a need to defend the 360, just look at the games came/coming out this year

it'd be cool if ps3 was worth buying for me, but it's nowhere close right now
