I plan to buy me a PS3 sometime this year.  But I got a quick question about something I heard before.  a small issue.

What was this thing I heard about sony removing vibration from their controllers? was it because of a copyright dispute or something about the dual shock name?

Oh well, it's ok I guess.  I can live without the rumble, but I kinda got used to it while playing some PS2 games.

Yeah they got issues with the owners of the technology. There is a company that offered themselves to release a new rumble for sony, but no official word yet, we dont even know if sony is interested at all.

Sony was sued by a company called Immersion that holds a patent that apparently states that any technology that provides force feedback via software is there's. Sony fought back, lost, and are now in the process of appealing the court's decision. For me personally, I haven't really noticed rumble in games outside of Metal Gear and God of War so it doesn't really bother me at all.
