How not to get your SixAxis rumbling

The world of dodgy console peripherals has struck again with another laughable invention, this time to add rumble to your bog-standard SixAxis controller.

If buying the £300 console left your wallet too empty to import a DualShock 3 controller, peripheral company PEGA wants to help with its $17 [£8.55] contraption pictured below.

It's called the Vibrating Bag, for some unknown reason, and features a vibrating unit that straps to your SixAxis, with a transmitter that is attached to your PS3.

Only, the transmitter has a massive '80s-style aerial antenna on it, ruining the neo look of your PS3, and by the looks of it, the shaking unit responds to sounds in the game (like a sort of small vibrating speaker), not the game's proper rumble signals.

But don't let that put you off because it also has a built-in FM radio tuner - cutting edge stuff. And according to the packaging it was "specially designed for PS3 game chip" so it must be good.

Why did we ever spend £40 on a DualShock 3 when we could have just got this?
