I do agree that battery is gay on the PS3. The original usb cable is incredibly short so i can't recharge and play at the same time.

Once fully charge it can work for around 20 hours and charge in about 2 hours. You can also charge via any usb device (computer), stop your exageration. They are including free rechargeable battery with their controller and you say that it is gay?!?! Do you think you can still play on another console while you charge the AAs battery?

right, so i'll plug the controller on my pc while playing on the PS3. Great idea. You are a genius.

and yeah, i can play on the 360 while charging the batteries. The cord is actually like 10 feet long.

 

You really dont get it do you. You can plug it through your PC when the PS3 is off. Also you can purchase a 10 feet usb cable for a couple bucks (less expansive than buying a battery pack). So once again stop your exageration.

 

actually, you are the one who doesn't get it. I believe my original post is pretty clear when I say i can't recharge and play at teh same time with the original short cable. You just replied with some unrelated info. Did i mention that it's a pain in the ass to recharge when i'm not playing? I'm only focusin on the play and charge part.

 

I don't even have to buy a usb cable, i have a 6ft cable from my camera that fits. Once again, my original post is referring to the original short cable.

How do you recharge the 360 batteries while you're playing? Just curious, since I thought they were those normal batteries that need to be charge at a charging station.

 

you can purchase a battery recharge kit for the 360. It's called play and charge kit because you got a cable that allows you to play while it's plugged in charging.

I know what you meant, but still, calling it gay because you either have to purchase a longer cable or just think of charging it on any USB device 1 hour after 20 hours of playtime really is an exageration.

 

I know that I shouldn't have used the "gay" word, but in our place, we use the gay word  to describe everything. It was just a bad habit.

Ok fair enough ;)
