An upcoming firmware upgrade for the PS3 will add DualShock3 support, according to Shacknews. The firmware will also be bundled with Rachet and Clank: Tools of Destruction, thanks to the fact that it’s the first title to support the upcoming gamepad. It’s good to see that DualShock is on it’s way, but the big question is, why in the heck did it take so long? Even at this point, no one is sure when our shores will see it, although Japan will be getting their vibration on next month.
By pressing the middle PS button on a PS3 controller, the DualShock3’s rumble can be toggled on or off from the Controller Setting menu in-game. Listed as the “vibration function,” rumble will obviously only be felt with DualShock3 controllers and not the rumble-less Sixaxis.
