As much as I hate to be the bearer of more bad PS3 news, no one else at Dtoid seems to be awake. Kindly refrain from directing your hatred at me. Like they say, "Don't blame the messenger."
Now that we have that out of the way, let's get this over with. The PS3 doesn't have rumble. Now it won't have force feedback in its steering wheels. Ever. Here's what Sony had to say to 1UP regarding the issue:
All PS3 games are programmed for the SIXAXIS which doesn't have force feedback, therefore the force feedback in the wheels won't be recognized.
Ouch. I would hate to be a PS3 racing fan right now.

Oh, and thanks for giving me something to do this early in the morning Ishaan. I get caught up by 8 or 830 most mornings and have to wait till everyone's awake at Dtoid to see something new on here.
no rumble, but after a couple seconds, not minutes, i find myself not caring about it and having a blast
think about driving a car without feeling the road at all. it would be very hard.
However if you are a good developer and you want to handle and specific periferic (aka a Force Feedback device such as an OFFICIAL driving wheel set) of course you can do it by building your own software driver in the game (duh!) how do you think the first eye toy was created ? the ps2 already had a camera driver? I dont think so!
Stop the goddamned Sony FUD is getting really tiresome, the PS3 sucks now, and the Wii rules, but wait ONE YEAR and then we will talk.
BTW there were more PS3 sold in US than Wii( 750,000 against 700,000) last year. Check vgcharts.org right now. Also the PS3 sold 1.2 million in just 2 countries. While the Wii sold 3.5 million -worldwide- The PS3 is NOT sinking despite all the Digg like idiotic articles we have to endure every single day.
Seriously?
Had more fun with that wheel using it with BO3 and it was obvious not made for it. And if that wheel can work on a PC it might be possible to use it with a X360.
