If this gets any traction in the buying public then Sony could easily sue. I would like to know whether the controller would still work using the USB charge cable work if the battery was stuffed. Sure you might not want to do that, but if it still works then you are not forced to buy a new controller.
It may be technically correct, but the implication of the article is that you can't expect a very good lifespan for the battery, such that the frequency of replacing the controller is a greater cost than the cost of buying batteries for the same length of use. That's a bold assertion without providing any backup evidence.
