So I got a DualShock 3 today

I instantly loved it - the weight it better, the plastic is thicker and the grips feel a bit fatter
The PS button feels a bit tighter and heavier - harder to accidentally push than my SIXAXIS(s).
So this rumble business is pretty important to me. I really hated that the PS3 is just now getting it again and instantly felt something missing from my PS2/PS1 games on the PS3. How can Psycho Mantis show me his abilities and move my controller across the floor?
It seems like you globally toggle the rumble for the controller on PS3 games and do not set it individually in the game GUI. You do this under controller settings in the home menu....I hope they add a low/high/off setting. Right now it is just on or off.
So I let it charge up while I was out earlier and was eager to get into some games and see how it fares...
I pop in Orange Box with hope of feeling each bullet I squeeze out of the pistol.....denied - ORange Box DOES NOT support DualShock 3 rumble.....
So I head over to Unreal Tournament III - it works and its nice.
It feels more tight and less rattled up than other controllers - but it could be because its new. ITs completely silent and I like that. It shouldnt moo like a cellphone when it vibrates.
So it feels great in UT3 - but i need to figure out what other games use it and try it out - i think ill do uncharted next.
For a PS2 game i think ill test ZOE2.
Worth it? IMO YES! I wish they would have just called it SHOCKAXIS however.....the controller now says sixaxis and dual shock 3 on it..... :/ i dont like that - call it Dual Shock 3 - period.
I should also test the tilt and see if it is any different.
They cant bring this out in the US fast enough. Spring 2008?

fuck
