More rumours are doing the rounds surrounding the inclusion of rumble in the Sixaxis. This time, the word is "confirmed".
The word from 1UP, that is. In the latest episode of the site's podcast, resident Sony fanboy Shane Bettenhausen claims that Tokyo Games Show will see the long-awaited rumbling DualShock 3 revealed.
He also claims that TGS will see the PS3 firmware update Version 2.0, which is expected to allow gamers access to the cross media bar (XMB) from inside a game revealed.
SPOnG spoke to a representative from Sony, who told us, "I have no comment at this time. We don't have any information."
Rumours surrounding rumble have been circulating for quite a while, with Japan's Dengeki PlayStation magazine having recently reported that Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, due out by the end of 2007, will be rumble compatible.
That rumble is coming seems inevitable. When it will be announced, however, seems to be very much up in the air. Rumour suggested that the ever-evasive announcement would come at Leipzig, while before that it was widely held that E3 would see an announcement.
Keep you eyes on SPOnG to find out whether a rumble announcement emerges from TGS.

So who wins here?, early adoptors have the true emotion engine chip, but will have to pay extra for there rumble, those who wait will have rumble included but no EM, and those who buy it today have neither!
Guess this is Sonys thing like 360`s HDMI.

Sony logic would suggest that rumble is last gen because the new Dual Shock will provide a recoil-type force feedback instead of continuing the vibrator-like feedback in current rumble technology (PS2, Wii, Xbox2).

Actually only Japan and the US got the chip, we've never had it.
