I recall when the PS3 launched three years ago there was a bunch of fuss about the fact the controller it came with could not have force feedback rumble due to some licensing issue however Sony kept pushing the six-axis motion control instead. Seems like six-axis has faded from interest and from what I gather the licensing problem is resolved now so newer PS3 controllers do finally have rumble in them.
So if I buy a PS3 slim, what controller is is packed with? Do I end up with rumble or six-axis or both?

All PS3's come with the Dual Shock 3, which is rumble enhanced along with six-axis movement.

As an aside, I was very surprised while playing Killzone 2 the other day that you use six-axis movement to perform certain tasks, such as turning a valve.

Look at the top logo. It says dualshock 3. So it is a dualshock 3 controller.
I got a 60Gb PS3 and when i bought it back then i got it with 2 sixaxis controllers. That's really not cool. I rather would swap these 2 against one dual shock, since i miss the rumble.
