And the only reason it works for you is because you apparently keep the PS3 on at all times and so your controller is always charged. I don't leave it on. I think it's waste of energy. And so my controller isn't always charged, and I sometimes have to charge it mid-game and sit up close to the TV. That's not digging deep for something wrong, that's a fair criticism of the system as it comes. And thus this ties back into the stupid decision to not let the controller continue to charge while the PS3 is off.

Again, these obviously aren't humongous deal breakers. I'm not returning my PS3 because of it. But I have a hard time figuring out why it's so hard to admit that these are dumb decisions. I'm not arguing that the 360 controller is SO much better, or that the Wiimote is the best ever. I'm just talking about the PS3 controller and its small issues. That's it. Apparently you guys feel the need to come to the PS3's rescue and defend it from any criticism.
I don't really care enough to keep defending it. I've yet to have an issue with it, if you're not charging the controler 2 hours for every 20 hours you play, then I think that's a personal problem lol.

And Duggler, I hope they don't change it. The controler's design is simplistic and it works well imo. I don't think they should fix what isn't broken.
