MoviereadytorumbleSony and Immersion announced today that their legal troubles are behind them -- they've concluded the lawsuit over force feedback patents, and Immersion gets all the money they were awarded in court ($90.7 million).

What's more, the two companies have kissed and made up, and are beginning to explore the possibility of including Immersion's rumble technology in PlayStation 3 accessories. Said Kaz Hirai in a statement:

Immersion and the potential for new and innovative products incorporating their technologies.
