European MGS4 rumble bundle planned "before Easter"
If we were to ask you what games you associate the most with rumble the chances are that a high percentage of you would mention Metal Gear Solid. We know Kojima Productions has a dedicated "Rumble Guy", so it seems only right that Metal Gear Solid 4 is bundled with the PS3 and the Dualshock 3 "before Easter". SCEE VP James Armstrong made public the company's desire to do so when speaking with Meristation.com, a Spanish website.
Better than a new bundle announcement is the hint that both MGS4 and DualShock 3s will be out in Europe before Easter, separately. While this is all still very vague and "before Easter" could range from a month to a day before the holiday, we're going to remain optimistic that both will be released as soon as possible. Seeing as MGS4 is slated for a first quarter release, we're looking to see it hit the shelves by the end of March, at the latest. Seriously, Konami - March at the latest.

Now this is a much smarter bundle than anything else that is out there.

MGS4 is a worldwide simultaneous release as well.. so, maybe NA as well. The question is whether it will be the 40gb or 80gb version. Lack of BC may be a no-sell for some people.. although they can just buy the console and game separately.

I'd find it very hard to resist that bundle, and I'm in Europe too! Yay!

With rumble, does anyone know if games like Formula 1 will get a retrospective update adding rumble/force feedback for steering wheels? Or - for games that are disc-based - is that impossible?
I was about to buy a 60GB pack with F1 and Resistance before I learned that the former does not support force feedback for my Logitech wheel and Gameracer seat.
