Information Week has the details of the settlement between Sony and Immersion over their rumble technology patents, it appears to have cost $150.3 million in total.
$127.8 million in to settle the patent infringement case of 2004 and 22.5 million for a license to use the technology in future Playstation equipment.
I guess Sony no longer thinks that rumble is last-gen technology. And what this means for the default six-axis PS3 controller is anyone's guess
