Well well, look who up and decided that rumble/force feedback was good idea after all. Sony has sent word that not only are they updating Gran Turismo HD on the PlayStation 3 for free with new features, but they're also adding force feedback compatibility. Check out the details on this:
Gran Turismo HD Concept v. 1.2 (free update): Developed by Polyphony Digital, Gran Turismo HD Concept delivers an unparalleled racing experience in full HD 1080p* resolution with next-generation graphics and physics. Race ten cars from worldwide manufacturers, including the Gran Turismo debut of Ferrari. This updated version enables you to view the Top 10 worldwide rankings for each car and mode. Also, Gran Turismo HD Concept now is fully compatible with force feedback via Logitech®'s Driving Force™, Driving Force™ Pro, and Driving Force™ EX steering wheels.
How long do you think it'll be before we see that SEVENAXIS with rumble? I give it a year, at the most. More important PlayStation Store news after the jump, including GTA IV news.

Awesome to also see the GTA IV trailer up on the PS store.
"Rumble is last gen".
Fuck you and your stupid PR machine.
If a controller sold with the PS3 includes the rumble, everyone who bought one is fucked proper.
What stage of Elvis's life? The successful stage or the fat bloated and on drugs stage? Or are you saying that Sony was successful at one point and now they are fat and bloated and on drugs? Think about it.
Does it come with a rumble motor to install in my SIXAXIS?
Ooo! Maybe it can use the one in my phone via Bluetooth! Yeah! That's the ticket!
*waiting patiently for Sony to make up its damn mind before making another move*
It is actually ignorant and hypocritical of you to say all of Sony are hypocrites when just ONE person said "Rumble is last gen" Did every Sony PR person say this or just ONE? I think it was just ONE. Correct me if I am wrong.
also cocks.
game rox though, so happy i mastered the drifting
haha, i wasted a few precious seconds of your life making you think about something irrelevant :p
That was what I meant, yes, they started off small and tallented, went through great success with the PS2, the ended up fat and loud. And on drugs.
I promise you, they would win a lot more fans if they would just shoot straight and say things like, "It would be ideal to include rumble functionality with our SIXAXIS controllers, but I'm afraid that we are still legally unable to provide this to our consumers, at this time." Sign me up, Phil.
Althought I'm not a huge fan of rumble in a racing game on a controller it is essential for a forcefeed back steering wheel.
Really though, it's just a big 'ole meh for me. I really think that all this shuffling about reversing decisions implies that they weren't quite as ready to launch this thing as they maybe should have been.
Oh, and /sign for an edit button!!!!
