Sony have created a website containing a list of supported titles here: http://www.us.playstation.com/PS3/About/Controller/Controller_games.html But it is incomplete as Army of Two, AC and UT3 supports it, but does not appear on the list. I think the only high-profile title without it these days are CoD 4, which is pretty unbelievable. :D Yeah, that is one way to look at it.

PS3 owners need to buy a new controller to get it. Could be seen as a 360 advantage and thereby downplayed by Sony. I would've expected ALL new PS3 games to be supporting rumble by now. Is this not the case? You could look at it the other way around, though - 360 owners get rumble out of the box. PS3 owners need to buy a new controller to get it.

It would be quite strange, but one would think Sony would have boasted about it by now, especially considering the DS3 gets released in the US in a matter of days. :D Yeah, same here.

It seems many on teh internets is asking this very question, but there seems to be no official answer yet. Considering CoD 4 doesn't support it I guess it could go either way with GTA IV... :| Patlike, could you get in contact with Rockstar and ask if they can confirm whether or not GTA IV will support the rumble function in Dual Shock 3?

However, it does amaze me that people will buy it and go online straight away. If I get it at launch I won't go near XBL until I've fully completed the campaign. Yeah, downtime madness.

I like the idea of the voice chat being affected by distance and having to call people on the phone to talk if you can't actually see them. I'm sure the multiplayer fans will be creaming themselves at that! That sounds really bloody comprehensive.
