Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction, which shipped out to retailers today, includes PS3 firmware 1.94 on the disc.

Although the firmware hasn’t been released as a download yet (should be available later this week), ShackNews is reporting that the firmware adds support for Sony’s upcoming rumble-enabled DualShock 3 controller, which is expected in Japan next month and in North America and European territories Spring 2008.
