I agree with you, using simple logic does make me a minority in a forum with people like yourself.


batteries are a larger expense overtime, which becomes a burden. Battery packs were created to stop the burden and charge your controller either while you're playing or while you're not. You guys can truly twist things. Bless you.

I'm not arguing which is a larger expense (albeit a relatively small expense to get rechargeable AA batteries). I'm arguing the convenience of having batteries you can swap out.

Quite often while playing PS3, my controller battery died out and I would have to wire it in. Its a nuisance and if you don't agree you're in denial.

Rechargeable AA batteries aren't a big expense. You just want to piss and moan about anything you possibly can. Seriously, its pathetic.

78 million 360 users seem to have no problem with batteries, same goes to uncounted pc-gamers who bought the controller. But it's a legit argument in wars, of course. I will keep on using my eneloops.

Did you get a special charger for the Eneloops?

I was using my regular one, but not sure how well that was working.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

I used rechargable controllers on my PS3 and my 360. I had to purchase it extra on my 360 though. The PS3's lifespan before being charged is just fine and it doesnt take very long to charge and play while its plugged in. No difficulty on either console, just that one comes stock without making you pay extra.

You keep missing the point.

I like having the ability to swap out my batteries to continue playing wireless instead of having to use a short wire to charge my controller (a la PS3).

For many devices, I like having a rechargable battery in the device. However, for a game controller I like having the option of swapping the battery out so I can avoid using a wire.

This is my stance, you might as well give up because we'll just keep going in circles.

How far away from your TV do you play?

Seriously?

Closer if I'm using a wire. Even if the cord were longer, I prefer not using the cord period.

My 360 controller wire is like 12 feet long. But I just swap rechargable AA batteries so I can continue playing wirelessly.

I just had to. I'm sorry.

I'm sorta divided on this because batteries are pretty cheap nowadays and a rechargeable built in like the PS3 has was a real pain because after so many charges you couldn't get an hour out of the controller but with the 360 you could pop in 2 batteries and you were good for few months.
Then again in this day and age they should have a rechargeable battery but do it right by putting it on the outside like the Charge Kit was for the 360 and not inside where you must take the thing apart or replace it all together... Im looking at you Sony! lol
