my question is, why add speakers to the controller? i get the head phones part because lets say your family asleep and you want to play at night, instead of muting you just plug in any headset, which is something awesome. but why the speakers?

could simply be a microphone. Another possibility is that it's for stereoscopic sound, or some kind of extra sound like radio in metalgear...or in silent hill you can hear some things only from the controller, etc etc.... or playing from a alternative source than the tv??

ehh, doesnt add much if you have the head phones on now do they? my thought is that playing from an alternative source other than tv, but what is the alternative source? and why doesnt it have speakers?
