Firmware 1.94 adds DualShock 3 support

Posted on October 23rd, 2007 at 16:43 EDT

Rumble is finally in town! The PS3's new firmware, 1.94, will add support for the DualShock 3 controller---but sadly, it isn't available for download yet, and the controller won't be available outside of Japan until next year.

If you pick up Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction (the first retail game with built-in rumble support), you'll be able to find 1.94 right on the disc. There is nothing major in this firmware, and it seems 2.00 won't be out for a while.

By pressing the middle PS button on the PS3 controller, the DualShock 3's rumble can be toggled on or off from the Controller Setting menu in-game. Listed as the "vibration function," rumble will only be felt with DualShock 3 controllers.

Stick here to PSU for more info.

Argh, I want one of those white ones for Uncharted. Uncharted does have the rumble support, doesn't it?

This is no big deal. Forget vibrating controllers. Give me an updated webrower and more video playback codec support. (WMV for example)

Is gingo's life goal to get PSN friend invites or something?  Dude is freaking creepy.

 

Anyway, reeh, rumble will be epic in MGS4.

This is awesome. I just hope the controllers are not 80 bucks or something.

LMAO @ 6

Come on...its harmless, let him advertize his ID if he wants to. This still doesn't do much for me, because R&C is not my cup of tea...but something isn't clear, why does hardware need to be release months apart in different regions? Especially since it will "work just fine" with any other region PS3.....THAT, my friends is weak sauce! Come on Sony...you can do us better than that.

That sucks... I was kind of hoping that the DS3 with Rumble would be released early instead of waiting until next year.  I like the option of turning it off and on.  I wonder if you can buy it overseas  and have it still work in this region.

Wait wtf I thought 2.0 was here in last day of oct

I think the reason it's months apart is because they don't have enough made yet to release them everywhere.

Hmmm, I hope they arent going to skip out on that firmware update that will add "Enchanced Blu Ray Playback Capabilities" to the PS3.

I still want the update that will stop me having to change the audio from hdmi to optical every time I want to turn on the sound system.  The rumble is nice whenever I'll have a controller that can use it, too.  Can we just import them from Japan?  Will a controller from over there work with the US unit?

I belive sony uses Japan as test before they release there things in US/UK but the difference shouldnt be that much in time they should do better on that.  If I hear it works well on any ps3 I might just get 1 off ebay they should have some there.

There is no FW at the end of this month.. Its the Terms of usage agreement that is being updated at the end of the month.. No 2.0.. I swear people will believe anything.. But you cant blame them when the same fools who put out the articles on this site, are instagating the rumors..

Okay, sounds good, but rumble is not what I really want. Okay, maybe a little.

Hey, what is up with gingo?... ... ... Any ways hope all games have the rumble function.

Man forget that, The rumble system is cool but we all are still waiting on the 2.0.  I am not really happy at the moment but I know sony knows what they are doing.  When you normally set a dead line for something to come out especially on Firmware, we all are looking for it but hopefully yall still keep the same dead line for 2.0 to come out the 30th and 1.94 come between it, maybe on the 27th or something.

There has never been any official confirmation on a date for 2.0 and there's no guarantee as to what it'll even inculde.

well i might have to try import one of these beasts. DS3 thats is.

The 2.0 you all are drooling over is the activation of EULA 2.0 for your PS3.

I'd much rather have a better looking PSN store than the DS3 right now.  Not like it's going to help anything until we get titles with it included.

I knew it would eventially come to PS3, now eveybody can shut up, and stop complaining about it.

There's absolutely no reason a JP imported DualShock3 controller won't work in a US/UK PS3.

In US, Sony maybe needs to conclude some contracts (payments of idiot-patents). In Europe, Sony likes to sell most things in a bundle.

Or they just probe the market in JP, to determine how many units to manufacture and ship overseas, and how to market/advertise them.
