Kaz Hirai, master of the PlayStation World, let the cat out of the bag (finally). The rumble-enabled version of the SIXAXIS, now called the DualShock 3, will be making it’s way to a PS3 near you.

No pricing has been set as of yet, but expect the new controller to drop in Japan in November and hit the US and Europe in Spring 2008. Why the huge delay? Anyway, the controller is said to be slightly heavier, with no outward appearance changes other than the addition of the DualShock 3 logo on the controller.

I’m quite excited about this one. Going to have to replace my current SIXAXIS with a DualShock 3 to get my rumble back for PS3 games.
