Tired of reading about GDC? Take a break and zone out to a couple of new GDC videos from our good friends at gamevideos.com. Up top, we've got an interview with Sony's Phil Harrison talking about the origins of Home, new games coming down the pipe and the current state of the PS3.
Down below, we've got a demo of the Home lobby, where you can stage and prepare your newly minted Sony avatar and enter their brave, new answer to Xbox Live.

Ignoring all the Home and Little Big Planet (despite how cool it is), Sony needs to come out and say SOMETHING about rumble.
They have to realize how many people would see rumble being included in the SIXAXIS as a very good thing, and that there seem to be people who cite the lack of rumble as the main reason why they won't invest in the console. I can only imagine that coming out and saying "Guys, you're getting rumble." or even better "You're getting the new generation of haptic technology that seems so cool."
Thoughts?

With the Euro units already on its way to stores for launch, they are not going to announce anything right now. It would mess up the launch. Maybe, they can tell devs to start working on rumble right now and officially announce it 6 months from now.. it would take that long for devs to incorporate it anyways.

Software implementation isn't the big hurdle. It's the R&D on the hardware. I expect we'll be lucky to see the rumble-enabled controller out within a year.
