From what I've heard from the leaked reports it's just called the DualShock 3.
@AcerBandit The PS3 already has rumble enabled for all PS2 games if you're using a PS2 controller via USB. So when the DualShock 3 comes out, all they'll need is one minor update to send that same rumble datastream to the new PS3 controller, no biggie. We'll probably even get the patch a good while before the new controller even hits the market. UPDATE Tgs07: PS3 Rumble Controller Confirmed - Kotaku This means that it will probably hit the market before the end of the year since Burnout is due late January '08.

Ahh, I knew I should have waited before buying the extra controller. Any announcements how much more the new controller is gonna cost? I'm hoping it's not more than 20 bucks.

That's if they're going to swap the SIXAXIS with the DualShock 3. Otherwise the DS3 may just be an add-in whic would therefore be an increased price over the standard controller. (like in the PS1 days)
UPDATE The new Ratchet game is going to have DualShock 3 support. But of course the controller doesn't come out here till Spring '08 so most will have played, beaten and moved on by then. For thoes who won't be getting a PS3 till early next year however, good for you

I don't really. When I read this in a site, you got people jumping up and down like little girls cause of this. I don't even know what this home is nor do I care. Thought I let ones around here know about it since it's ps3 related ;p.

Home is like Sims online minus having to look for the "health" of your avatar. You can customize your room with all sort of furniture. If you put a TV in this room you can than stream video on it from your HDD and your friends that you invite in your room can watch it, same thing for radio and frame you put on wall. After that you can mett people in the Home plaza where you can just chat like most 3D chat do now (like second life). There's an arcade too where you can play pool, bowling and various little arcade games. Oh I almost forgot that there's a theater where you can go watch some trailers (about movie, games etc...)
All that is in the beta for now. The whole version is suppose to include a room where you can show the trophies you have obtain. Think about those trophies like the xbox achievements. apparently that room will have big screen that will show some of your replay from various game. I don't remember if there's more to it, but I think there will probably a mall where you'll be able to buy more furnitures for your room, or buying bigger room or something.... I'm mainly interested in Home for the achievements/trophies thing and to customize my room (that,s my favorite part in the game Sims XD) oh I almost forgot, that you'll be able to invite people to play game directly from within Home and if both accept, the game will launch automatically if the games is install on your HDD or will prompt a message to insert the proper cd in the ps3. oh and all that is free, well almost. All that I said will be free, but you'll be able to buy some more furnitures or exclusives furniture in the PSN store. I suppose they will probably come in little packages at a little price but still you can enjoy Home with the basic furnitures.  |

Interesting. A lot of games that were already released will be getting rumble support, I assume via system firmware updates:

Anyone really happy about how the weekly update in the store turn out? it's been a month that we get a lot of stuff and demo ^^
I just tried the stuntman demo and as much as I like the game, god it's frustrating XD but not as much as the one on ps2 >.> oh and that full trailer of DMC4 was sweet! and really good thing about the rumble. I'm happy that it look simple to add rumble feature on already release game ^^ as for Lair I can understand a little why they are not including it, maybe because the whole game control with the sixaxis so they don't want the rumble to distract us? |

Is the dual shock 3 going to use some kind of special batteries? I can imagine recharging that damn thing every 2 hours.
BTW, I bought my Ps3 with Heavenly Sword yesterday (not that anyone cares anyways). It will be arriving in 4 weeks though  I just hope that the people from customs don't replace it with bricks or something. I'm totally terrified about the shipping. |

As much content we've been getting a lot of it is old news or minor things. It would have been nice to get some TGS stuff. Whether it be MGS4, White Knight, anything. A demo would have been better too. Like the one DMC4 demo has been going from convention to convention for over a year now, why no PSN release of it eh? Ah well, maybe when TGS really starts tomorrow, we'll get some up to date content for the next update.

I agree with SlayerX, it would have been nice to have some actual TGS content. Very disappointing that the MGS4 TGS trailer didn't make it in the update, wasn't it supposed to hit the PSN ? Oh and that DMC4 trailer is the same one from GC, it's not even the one they showed at TGS.

The Game Show is not over yet, I guess they will add more stuff later or maybe even after the Game Show has finished. Did you check the Japanese Store? Maybe they added some additional stuff there.
Also, please no more MGS4 videos. It's always the same shit anyway. |

Hmm I dont know if this has been answered yet, but, will the new controller lose its tilt function because of its rumble function? Or did they just take out the rumble feature because of their fit with Immersion at that time?
