Well, it was fun while it lasted. Now Sony has officially denied rumors that rumble-enabled controllers were on their way for the PS3.

“We have not added rumble [to PS3], and have no announcements regarding this feature,” said Dave Karraker, Sony’s director of corporate communications.

“From time to time, we make minor enhancements to the controllers for our platforms,” he said. “We recently sent out to the development community some new prototypes that have a slightly enhanced sensitivity for the analog sticks and the motion sensing within the Sixaxis controller”.

Many have voiced criticism of the company for not bringing the rumble, a feature that gamers have long been accustomed to.
