Microsoft Announces New Xbox Controller

I only ask because on Xbox if you have the play-and-charge kit connected and you shut down the system (at least via the controller), the system enters a low-power mode where it will continue to provide power to the USB ports until the controller finished charging, and then shuts off completely. They also support continuing downloads after you shutdown these days too.

Just a nice way to have your wireless controller fully charged for next time you play.

Both systems get the job done. I don't really see where the weak debate we're having lies.

I'm not trying to debate you, other than pointing out the possible long-term side-effects of built-in batteries. I absolutely hate the PS3 controller, but it has nothing to do with batteries.

I'm actually just curious how PS3 worked, because I've never really used one.
