   That’s pretty good by Sony, i certainly didn’t expect that. But anyway, the batteries can last years, by that time the price on the controllers will drop, plus new third party controllers will be availble.

   [...] Sony’s PS3 controllers, also called Sixaxis, are wireless, but unfortunately do not feature removable battery packs, which makes them useless after the rechargeable batteries lose their efficiency, common after a finite number of charges. A Sony spokesman has denied the rumor, saying “This is a purely speculative story and is largely untrue. The latest generation of Lithium Polymer batteries hardly suffer any memory effect at all, so it’ll be many years before there’s any degradation in terms of battery performance.
