Prototypes of the new rumble-enabled PS3 SixAxis controller are already in the hands of numerous Sony developers, according to industry insider site Inner Bits - via
Next-Gen.biz. A blog on the site where "game developers speak out" says that "
new versions of the Sixaxis controller are quietly replacing the original controllers launched with the console." As well as being rumble-enabled, new controllers will allegedly have improved motion sensitivity. Sony is to launch a digital tuner for the Playstation 3 in early 2008, offering DVR-like functions to users of the console, reports
Gameindustry.biz.
Warwick Light, sales and marketing manager for Computer Entertainment New Zealand, revealed the details to local website The Press, promising to "
transform the PS3 capabilities so as to meet people's changing entertainment needs."
"
We're also hoping next year - about the same time that Freeview launches its terrestrial broadcasting service - to release a digital tuner for the PS3, turning it into a programmable TV recorder," said Light. Freeview services are expected to launch in New Zealand next March.
