I prefer having more weight to my controller, I love the 360 controllers, they are the best controller i've ever used, no questions asked.

Sony: We're not going to have rumble.
People: Boo, you fuckin' losers, rumble rules! Fuck you and your non-rumbling, motion-sensitive controller!

Sony: OK, here comes your rumble, it's going to cost you $5 dollars more than the one without rumble, and it'll still have all the features of the original SIXAXIS.
People: Boo, you fuckin' losers, rumble's not worth what I usually spend on a cheap lunch!

The PS3 controller is also much lighter in terms of weight. When I picked up my friend's 360 controller I thought rocks were strapped to it...

@xtremesniper:
They were in a lawsuit with Immersion (who settled with Microsoft and Nintendo, and Sony chose to fight it out and thus is late to the party).

Thing about all of this is that a lot of people are pissed at Sony for all the "last gen" posturing they did publicly about rumble, failing to realize that this was during the settlement negotiations with Immersion... which was also going on while they were producing prototype DualShock 3's (if you need proof, the fact that Resistance and other launch titles have DS3 support). The reason for the posturing? Because if you're in negotiations, one of the things you don't do is say "Oh my god how we need what you have!" publicly and lose all ability to negotiate. Should they have settled when Microsoft and Nintendo did? Absolutely.

But all this bitching about price... c'mon. We're talking about $5 difference for a feature that people have bitched about not being available.

Realistically, if you'll recall, the DualShock 2 was $5 cheaper than a new release game... now you get a controller that's in the same controller:game price ratio... with wireless... with motion control... with more advanced rumble features...

Yeah, we're all getting royally screwed.

You two do realize the current PS3 controller (SIXAXIS) uses a mini-USB connector as well, right?

Game's like Uncharted take on a whole new flavor because the rumble is really distinct for each of the weapons in the game.

It also performs Six Axis as well.

Every one of my game's including Launch games all rumble now and it is soooo worth it.

you can turn it off(sixaxis), the only game that I THINK uses it permanently is Lair which I havent played. That being said, I wish there was a mod to put the PS3 controller contents into the xbox360 controller. I love my PS3 but I love how the xbox360 controller feels.

It's equivalent to the original huge Xbox controller = Achilles heal

They didn't initially have rumble because of a lawsuit by Immersion (I think) who owns the patents to it. And they wouldn't be able to put sixaxis and rumble together because the rumble would make sixaxis think that the controller is being moved around.

Good on them for finally getting rumble instead of the sixaxis gimmick, but that's a mighty expensive controller.

@kahri:

Hey.... does this controller rumble AND do six axis control? I thought Sony said that couldn't be done. Wasn't that the explanation they gave for not having rumble in the first place?
