Wait, I don't understand what this means. It doesn't come with a rechargeable battery in the XO box? That can't be right, can it? Or is this just a replacement if needed?

No that's right, it's just like the 360 with the batts although I'm unfamiliar with what the kit costs for the 360.

I didn't know that.  I just assumed the controller would be rechargeable.  That's kind of lame, to be honest.  A way to keep the XO price down a bit, though, I guess.

pretty much but i gotta say sony's built in recharables is such an amazing feature.  i swear you can't buy decent recharables anywhere.  i absolutely loathed the persistant battery swapping i had to do with my wiimotes.

 

the 20min day-1 download surprises me.  must be a pretty big patch.  my internet isn't particularly fast and i could download ~3Gb from psn in 20 minutes.  the patch must be at around a gig or so.
