Seems to be pretty straight forward, I'm going to see what else other sites dig up, I'm sure we will hear more.

At first before it was just speculation, people were saying it would connect, but rumble features wouldn't work properly until an update was issues. But I guess this isn't true.

So if there was any doubt before..... there shouldn't be now.


I can't wait to play Warhawk with rumble this winter. Screw waiting until next spring. I'm importing 2 of these!

While the hardware will probably work there's no guarantee the software to support it will be here. Games that are already out like Warhawk will require an update to rumble. Devs may wait for the controller to launch here before releasing a rumble patch.

Newer games will come with Dualshock 3 support already though, so stuff like Ratchet & Clank or Uncharted should be OK. Unless they do something weird like only enable it for the Japanese version. That's very unlikely though.
