GO TO 3:45 he says "it comes with 2 AA DISPOSABLE batteries."

 

Its only USB charged if you buy a SEPARATE rechargeable battery package. And in the video you posted It was mentioned that the units they handled were prototypes.

My god just use rechargeable AA like we have used for years. They can be used in anything that requires AA. Eneloop for the win.



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.

My Game Boy Color uses AA batteries.

Yup love  eneloop.



I like my Duracell AA batteries... they last 70 hours per charge and are really quick to change, seems a little more advanced than "12 to 14 hours" per charge to me and I don't even need to 'wire up' my wireless controller :|

Guess MS doesn't care for the environment.



Sorry for bad English.
