Common guys. Yahoo is not saying that you have to buy a new controller everytime you drain the batteries. They are saying you have to buy a controller EVERYTIME the battery actually stops functioning (which we know is SO often).

Media like to rag on certain items that do not have "user replaceable batteries." Such as most iPods that I know of.

They do have a point though. Its nice to have the option to put AA batteries in. Especially if the cord is so short like some people are saying (also gay that it does not charge while the system is off).
