I'm not talking about something like TRUE force feedback, where it actually gives resistance to the stick while you are struggling with like flight controls. I'm not talking about it because, and you probably weren't aware of this, the PS2 controller doesn't have that. The PS2 controller has the exact same "force feedback" as Nintendo. That is, shaking controller technology. It's done the same way too. I know because I'm a curious person with a screwdriver :D (and in the case of the Rumble Pak, a special "bit" for unscrewing that). Well, okay actually the PS2 controller has one thing that Nintendo and Microsoft don't have. Sony, being the innovators that give you two things because it's better that way :D, put two motors into their controllers instead of one. A big one, and a small one.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
