Sony TGS07 Update

Sony's Kaz Hirai has announced a few cool things at TGS07. First up, the long awaited Dual Shock 3 controller for Playstation 3 with rumble! Sony took a lot of flak regarding the lack of rumble in the new PS3 controller but now it's back. Metal Gear Solid 4 will support the new rumbling Dual Shock with existing games updateable via the Playstation Network.

Personally, I hate rumbling controllers. It always seems to jolt me out of my little gaming world whenever the controller vibrates in my hand. I usually turn the option off in the game menu.

Also, Kaz gave some info on the future of Remote Play for PSP and PS3 interaction. PSP will be able to turn your PS3 on and off via the Internet. This is good new as it means you won't have to leave your PS3 on all the time if you want to access your PS3 when you're away from home!
