" We have not made any changes to its outward appearance and design, but it does have vibration," said Hirai. The much-rumoured peripheral will launch in Japan in November this year. American and European gamers will have to wait until spring 2008. Specific dates and pricing information will be announced " at a later date,"

Yes, they did say that...

...so that they today could show you that they can do the IMPOSSIBLE!
BEHOLD! The power of Sony!!!

When they said it was impossible they based it on the rumble technology they currently had available, which in truth was impossible to use in a SixAxis controller.
But today, when technology has taken a few steps forward, the rumble can be used in SixAxis.

So they didn' t lie. You simply took it as a lie.

But Sony said it was impossible!!!!!

But Sony said it was impossible!!!!!

Not only that,.but they said it were a old gen feature not needed.

OMG just accept the fact that its getting rumble ITS A GOOD THING REMEMBER THAT

I cant find the exact qoute from the guy who said it, but ia quick search arond the web will reveal it was indeed a planned feature, because the PS3 is so powerful it could run two seperate sessions on two seperate screens in 1080p, the thing can barely play a single game in 1080p

btw I cant tell if Ginj is being serious or not?

Ahhh, buhu. Sad because you couldn' t find exact quotes from a reliable source?
