He says it comes with the play and charge kit?

$64 is a lot though.

Mmm play and charge kit is 20 dollars alone right now. Controller is around 45. So it's the same price.

I hope for the people who buy it's sake; that the next gen Microsoft system has a controller system like Sony's.

Because honestly; not having to worry about batteries at any point is the best thing that's happened to cordless controllers.

And it's only roughly 50 bucks for a new PS3 controller.

Yeah, Playstation is pretty great.

Am I missing something? Isn't the PS3 controller just a bluetooth controller that recharges with mini-USB?

Are you just happy that is has a built-in re-chargable battery? Or happy that is can be charged using a standard cable?

I'm happy I don't, nor have ever had to spend a single penny on a battery; or a rechargeable battery combination. Does it use USB? Totally. Does it have a rechargeable battery inside of it? Definitely. Do I have to worry myself with prying the back of the controller off, spending money on something I already paid for, and putting them in? Not once.

It's still expensive. :P

That being said I think I'll get it.
