Dual-shock renamed Sixaxis

Well, according to the 1up podcast I was listening to today anyway. Just found a couple of web links for it -

It makes sense, given there ain't no "shock" in there anymore. The funny thing was the 1up guys couldn't figure out why it was called Sixaxis, they still seemed to think it didn't sense when you move the controller around. Hello - 3 axes for tilt, 3 for movement.

Edit: And that name is pretty cool too, being a palindrome - SIXAXIS. I don't know... better than "Wii" I guess

I'm still hopeful Sony will release a press release titled "what were we thinking - rumble solution implemented" in time for launch.

I wish they would rename it "controller". And maybe they could rename "Memory Card (8MB) (for PlayStation®2)" to just "memory card" while they're at it.
