Ruh rohhh.

I don't even own a PS3 yet (or never will..we'll see), but thought some of you might be interested in this...

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.
 
ghey, wtf is sony doing!!! the new gran turismo sounds dumb with its pay to play thing as well. I think they are really starting to decline with the ps3.
 
Well, GT5 can add the force feedback for their game but its up to them since Sony is not the one making their steering wheel. So when GT5 is out and the official steering wheel for that is out their might just be force feedback for the steering wheel only that is. they can also implement the sixaxis control to it too if not using a steering wheel.
 
I don't use a steering wheel so it doesn't bother me.
 
I love my PC but the games just suck lately. Nothing really good. I dont use a steering wheel either so im fine. And what are you talking about pay as you play for GTHD????
