I'm in the market for a PS3 but would like to see if waiting a couple of months will result in seeing the Rumble PS3 controllers included with the consoles.

I've done *some* searching but haven't found too much up-to-date information.

Anyone know anything?

DS3 by itself: april 15

DS3 bundled with console: june 12(?), $499 Metal Gear Solid 80 GB PS3 bundle with MGS4 game and DS3.

No word yet on when the 40 GB will be upgraded with the DS3.

If you open a Sony/Chase Visa at SonyStyle.com in June you may be able to get $100 off the 80GB bundle.

Thanks Dave.

Unfortunately I already have a Sony card. :)

I can probably live without the Rumble...all I really want the PS3 for is BD and MLB 08, oh and GT5.

Rumble is one huge thing I miss when I go in between the 360 and the ps3. Can't wait for this thing to come out.

It's nice... well feels like rumble should. I imported one in November ($65) so I've been using it. Implemented real nice in Uncharted. :)
For $10 more than the retail here, it was no bigger to get it that early. But really, if the white DS3 I have is any clue to the ones releasing here in the US, they are very sturdy and feel perfect, a more sturdy feel than the DS2's and definitely better than the SixAxis. Great controllers definitely. And I've had no drop outs either, while i have had a few with both of my SixAxis controllers.

April 15th I believe

I could go without it, but rumble just adds a certain extra something to the gaming experience. I'll probably use it most in MGS4...
