[General Discussion] X-Box Rumble Technology, Same As PS's ?

On this week's 1up show, they said they had a chance to play with the new duelshock 3 controller on mgs4 at TGS. One quote is "It's next gen rumble" and "better than 360". They also said it doesn't feel like the rumble from duelshock 2, but more of a vibration, and that it's "rumble in stereo"

Very intresting...

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I should copyright pizza and pancakes. Then I can sue ass.

I dunno if you've ever seen a open controller with rumble, but i found a picture so you can see what a 360 controller's rumble looks like
