Xbox 360 Elite vs PS3 Slim (Cnet TV Video)

[Solidus]

The battery is replaceable,

Sauce

Also shop around you can pick up a controller for R645.
If you buy a DS3 for R900 you should be shot

key word = Kinda replaceable (not officially replaceable like a 360 bat)

[Solidus]

kinda replaceable still beats chucking it away.

I don't know how useful this is, but I feel like sharing.
Official Sony Dual Shock 3 PS3 controllers are around R370 odd in Hong Kong. I picked my second one up there.

This means two things :
1) Get a friend that is going to Hong Kong.
2) Ster kinekor is stealing our monies.

So buying new penlites every two weeks is better? Or you could buy a play and charge kit that will die as well eventually, just like the PS3 one. Point being that both controllers are expensive, and as far as I know the DS3's batteries last a very long time. My friend bought a launch model PS3 and the controllers are still perfectly fine.

Launch ps3 models didnt come with dualshock controllers, secondly when i bought my launch xbox 360 at launch in late 2006 i bought a play and charge kit with it and guess what ? the battery still works. oh and 360 controllers are dirt cheap compared to sixaxis or ds3 controls.

oh and only an idiot would use penlites instead of rechargeable AA batteries.

Last time I checked rechargeable AA batteries aren't too cheap either. And then there will still be the case of forgetting to charge your batteries and them dying in the middle of a gaming session. The best option is the play and charge kit.

I was gonna say that It's not terribly more expensive than an xbox controller but must say that if I had the choice of a nice new game or a 2nd controller so a friend can play with me...The game seems to win lately
