    Sony On Non-Immersion Rumble: "No" And "No."

    1Up's bearded newsranger Luke Smith has pinned down Sony regarding that Edmonton-based company who claims to have figured out how to make the SIXAXIS rumble without violating the Immersion rumble patents. The Canadian company, called SplitFish, claims to have "the solution" to Sony's legal problems. The hardware giant included Immersion's patented rumble technology in its PS2 controller and subsequently got tangled in a legal mess that resulted in a rumble-less PS3 controller.

    So, this could be the news that all have been waiting for! Not so fast, says Sony. A spokesperson tells Smith:

    We have had no contact with this company and continue to have no plans to include FF [force feedback] in SIXAXIS.

    Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh... Sony, please stop being so stubborn!! Include feedback, and I will buy another SIXAXIS. Shoot, I'll even buy two. Maybe even three. Brian Ashcraft
