When Metroid Prime Pinball hits shelves next week, the game will come packaged with a Rumble Pak accessory that shoves right into the Game Boy Advance slot of your Nintendo DS system.
The Rumble Pak, called quite simply the "Rumble Pak", vibrates when the Nintendo DS tells it to. Code within DS software will trigger the innerworkings of the cartridge to spin and vibrate, which, in turn, causes the Nintendo DS system to vibrate as well

This is great
Either our cartridge is broken, or the DS Rumble Pak is one of the noisiest Rumble Paks Nintendo has ever built
but still needs improvement.
Anyway, it's free and a step in the right direction

Other groups who've recieved the rumble pack weren't reporting any noise. In fact, they were reporting it as rather quiet. I guess they really did get a broken cart.

Well, technically, it's not free, since you have to buy the game that it comes with.

Yeah, so it technically isn't free.

Yeah, but that wasn't a direct response to you
I remember seeing Tycho say something about it on PA.
