Sony officially announces Dual Shock 3: SIXAXIS PS3 controller with rumble

Today Sony officially announced the PS3 Dual Shock 3 controller with rumble as we all expected. During a Tokyo Game Show keynote Kaz Hirai from Sony Computer Entertainment Japan announced the good news. This new SIXAXIS controller for the PlayStation 3 looks just like any other PS3 controller, but the hot stuff is inside this redesigned controller. The Dual Shock 3 controller has vibration to make the PS3 gaming experience even more realistic.

Dual Shock 3 will come out in Japan this November, and in spring 2008 Sony will release its new controller with rumble in North America and Europe. Many publishers have their Dual Shock 3 rumble controllers for quite some time now and there’s a nice list of games that will use the rumble function of the new Dual Shock 3.
