doesn't the PS3 controller have like 3-5 year life span? I still have the controller from launch and it still works like a charm

How do these people get into a position where they can write articles... This should be on some nameless persons pointless blog that no one ever visits.

Wow.... Guys, I think they mean when the battery itself will no longer function... regardless of charges. And, sure, the battery's in the controller, and you can't replace it, so, when it stops working, in however many YEARS, you'll have to buy a new controller....

They're not saying that once the batter dies after 20 hours of play, you'll have to buy a new controller........................

Comprehension Phail! XD

I already understood that >_< but I never heard of a PS3 controller crapping out permanently and wanyed to know if it ever happened to anyone.

This is sort of like saying don't buy the 360 it has a high failure rate and you'll have to repair it or buy a new one.

What's the point in pointing things like this out besides making people mad?
