I'm sure the Wavebird is a great controller, that's why I was interested in picking one up. But doesn't the omission of rumble bother you? I guess its kind of like how it bothered all PS3 owners about the Sixaxis not having this last gen feature.

I'm old-school. I don't typically spoil myself with rumble in the first place. If you don't typically experience it, there's not much to miss

Rumble's never really used to its full extent anyway. Kojima's the only one who really uses it the way it should be, in my humble opinion.

Looks like there is an alternative after all:

Rumble usually just bugs me and makes my hands itch. I've only ever seen it used to full effect in Kojima's games, honestly.
