As for the batteries, what do you do when the rechargeable batteries run out on PS3 controllers? Can they be replaced or do you have to buy a new controller? I use rechargeable batteries on my two Wii controllers and I have one plug and play kit for my 360. I only need one charging cord even though I have two wireless 360 controllers since I never re-charge them at the same time, hehe. |
I really disliked the 360's power brick and rigid cables, my PS3 I have comfortably placed inside my media cabinet. The huge power brick and rigid cables was why I kept the 360 outside of this cabinet. (It was a white premium, also looking quite ugly inside this black cabinet, the Elite probably suits it better)
Before the Sixaxis battery runs out you are notified, you can then pauze the game and connect the PS3 controller with the USB cord to the PS3 or other USB ports like those found on PCs. If the battery runs out completely games seemed to pauze and wait for you to connect the cord and turn on the controller. I think this is much more elegant than having to deal with AA batteries, especially if you have more than one contoller.
