I know about Guitar Hero, hence, rarely.

Rumble was the addition to the controller. Sony is adding a whole new controller wand. Not the same as a hardware update to the controller.

As for a bundled game, well, that is just speculation. Lets wait for an official anouncement.

Actually I've always felt that Guitar Hero is a fantastic example of the limitations of an added peripheral, not a glorious example of its success.

Yes, the game "Guitar Hero" did well. But the Peripheral? No other games use it. People don't buy it for any other reason. In short, less than 1 percent of all games on the PS2 used the Guitar, and less than 3 percent of all PS2 owners bought Guitar Hero.

You can't make a ton of games with a 3 percent install base, especially on a console that is being systematically killed by its producers. Could they make a few games with some fun effects? Sure. But that's about all we'd see, I suspect.
