Now we all know that the mighty rumble is set to return to the PS3’s SIXAXIS controller at some point in the future, if the recent deals between Sony and Immersion are anything to go by.
The two important things that we have yet to find out are when we can expect the return of ‘proper’ PlayStation controllers and how exactly the rumble features will be implemented.
Current rumours emerging from the latest issue of PSM France suggest that the forthcoming rumbling SIXAXIS controller will not only sport a vanilla rumble, but it will also boast a "touch sense" feature that allows rumbles to emanate from specific locales on the device.
What’s more, the shakin' is said to be "more powerful and more intense" than the PS2’s rumble feature, with programmers apparently working to enable shorter bursts of sensation so that players will be able to feel the most subtle of movements via the SIXAXIS.
If this news turns out to be true, this is amazing news both for gamers and for Sony Computer Entertainment itself.
SPOnG will hopefully be bringing you more on this directly from Sony’s E3 conference next Wednesday. Fingers crossed!

I thought rumble was unnecessary, nay, distracting even, and gamers didn't want it?

Hey, we all know how honest Sony are, just look at their sales figures.
Whoops, I meant shipped figures.

According to Phil Harrison, Rumble is last gen anyway.
