Default Re: Microsoft Announces New Xbox Controller

I've had 360 batteries die. I actually use a mix of rechargable AAs and my wired controller.

Personally I like replacable batteries, since gaming devices seem to stick around more than a couple years. I wouldn't want to pull out my PS3 in 10 years and see the controllers gone bad because the batteries have rotted. I do wish they didn't have proprietary cables though (unless there is some benefit), and came with rechargable battery packs in addition to the little AA battery holder.

Speaking of batteries, can you charge PS3 controllers while the system off? And does USB power turn off once finished?
