Still can't believe they continued the AA battery pack plus extra accessory BS.

This alone should prove that MS will do anything to increase its revenue and F the consumer.

Wow, you didn't bother to read any of the thread!  If you want to hate on Microsoft - just do it in another thread.  It is making you look pathetic.

I'm not interested in your whining and if you bothered to read it you would see myself and others are happy about the batteries. Microsoft doesn't make any money off my batteries, but they keep me happy as I can used the ones I have.

And not some lame built in Sony product that goes bad after a few years, and you have to throw out the controller and buy a new one.

Have a good day, just somewhere else please.

 

Why would I read the whole thread? I read the OP and that part wasn't discussed and to me its the most important part as I've yet to truly hate the usage/feel of MSony dual analog controllers. I didnt' like Wii's classics... but the pro on WiiU is awesome.

So to me the only part that sucks or rather that I actualy notice is the lack of a built-in battery.

Maybe you're good with having to find your own rechargeable solution, however, I think in 2013 it should be fucking standard to have quality built-in batteries. The only reason to exclude is to push a microtransaction on the consumer for something nearly everyone will buy.

Also, if your battery goes bad in a  Sony or Nintendo or Apple or Google or (every other electronics company out there) product, you can replace it. You don't have to buy a new controller. Additionally, its not a guranteed cost as I've yet to have one go bad. But in your case you are guranteed to have to buy batteries.

Instead of sheepishly defending the practice, maybe you should ask them to join the modern world.
