Third party peripheral maker eDimensional has unveiled a new PlayStation 2 joypad which features both gyroscopic motion sensors and a rumble feature, apparently in defiance of Sony’s suggestion that combining the two technologies would be too expensive for consumers.

The G-Pad Pro features four axis of movement, rather than the PlayStation 3 joypad’s six, but also features a rumble feature that can apparently be used in conjunction with the motion sensors. The technology is licensed from Immersion, with whom Sony has enjoyed a strained relationship since the beginning of a court case alleging patent infringements of force feedback technology.
