Yes, I forgot to say that I'm planning to buy 2 Xbox 360 wireless controllers, and buying another battery is my only option.

But yeah, like I said before, I guess I'll just sacrifice an awesome game for a not-so awesome accessory... I'm sure I'll still have lots of fun with just Halo 3 (on XBox Live especially).

You know, you can use cheapie alkaline batteries and they'll still last a good while. You don't HAVE to buy a battery pack, especially if it's a controller that won't see use all the time.

This is exactly what I'm trying to stay away from: alkaline batteries. I've had a Wii since last Christmas and before I've decided to buy a 3rd-party battery pack + charger (about 6~7 months ago), I've wasted some serious amount of money simply on alkaline batteries and they didn't last for too long either.

I'm a serious gamer and I play a lot during the week (over 15~20+ hours for sure), and I'm sure the Xbox 360 controller is a much bigger battery "sucker" than the Wiimote (I'm maybe wrong about this though)... So yeah ! I also know that me and my bro will waste a lot of our free time playing Halo 3 on Xbox Live (split-screen), so both controllers will be used pretty much all the time. o_o

Well if you go with batteries I have to suggest Eneloop by Sanyo and GE those things are amazing they store like basic alkline but are able to be charged, they win my vote for best battery ever. I bought the play n charge kit for my elite before I had these and I've actually given it away and use the pre-included battery pack with eneloop they work so well, the only hassle is not being able to play & charge at once but it's minimal because I have 16 of these and they're always ready to go because they can be pre-charged and hold the charge for years.
