I don't even recall a lot of games I've played lately using the rumble feature all that much. It was a neat feature, but it was rarely anything that would make or break a game. The tilt feature has far more gameplay potential, so if rumble has to go, at least they're adding something that could at least lead to new gameplay experiences.

And about the price, it really isn't a tremendous amount more than the Xbox 360 with a hard drive. Given that the average age of gamers is supposed to be in the early to mid twenties, a lot of gamers should be able to pick one up early on, and eventually the price will drop for those with lower incomes/the kiddies. For me personally, the price hits in exactly the range I was expecting, and I will be able to afford one at launch if I so choose. I may wait a little while for a price drop/more reliable hardware, although GTA4 has me itching to get my hands on one.

And where I sit, the PS3 is still the only system that interests me. It's got the series I want to play exclusive to it, as well as the most new titles that are interesting me at the moment. In my opinion it had the most interesting games at E3 for me. The other two consoles have yet to really wow me.
