They aren't going to include that feature because most people won't have the problem of people trying to steal the controllers at LAN's. It shouldn't be that hard to keep your eye on them. As for the battery packs just use AA's then, they are relatively cheap and you have 40 hours to recharge all the packs one by one, of just play on AA's alone. One pair would last a month if you game for an hour a day.

250 hours of gaming on 4 controllers for a mere $11....

All I'm saying is I'm a cheap, lazy bastard and don't want to deal with ANY of the BS that comes with the wireless.

I think both sides of each arguement are valid at their core... but it is my opinion that MS is using this wireless as a tech geeky toy... I mean wireless is competely the latest trend... trends are added toys that you don't NEED but are COOL to have. I would personally rather have a wired controller with the stock box and have the option for these really cool wireless controllers in the aftermarket (I do think they are probably some of the best wirelss controllers made esp. with the accessories.)

Again this is just my opinion and it is based off my limited experience as an IT guy supporting boss's that think they need a wireless mouse to sit at their desk

I end up saying this in all the threads about wireless controllers, but my Logitech wireless was probably the best $50 I've spent in a long time. There's nothing worse than trying to relax and play a game with an annoying cord dangling between your legs.

Uhh is this a surprise to anyone?

NES controllers not on SNES, SNES controllers not on N64, N64 controllers not on GC
Genesis controllers not on Dreamcast

Really the only one so far that has allowed it is the PSX to PS2 it doesnt surprise me a bit, that xbox controllers probably won't be compatible, however I'm still pulling for my Atari 2600 Paddle controllers to work with X360 PONG

its very possible 3rd party controller companies will make these converters, its as simple as what does "x" send to x360, then if "x" is pressed on xbox controller, then send x360 "x" , after all the x360 controllers are USB, hook 'em up to your computer and see the output, therefore a converter is almost a guarentee from 3rd parties, as long as they are planning to make 3rd party controllers.

it really doesnt surprise me, i never use my psone controllers on my ps2 anyway....

controllers are usually cheap enough to just go out and buy one, even if you need to buy it used or a 3rd party one...

I own a logitech wireless controller for my xbox and I have never felt more satisfied in a controller ever (I own 12 and only 3 works anymore). I get 100 hours (Lasted me 3 weeks) on two AA batteries (50 or so if vibration is on ) the feel of the controller is near perfect, almost better than the s controller. I never lost it or had anybody successfully stole it. I can stay from upstairs and control xbmc downstairs with no problems. I never had the slightest hint of lag. The only gripe I have is that the analog stix dont feel as good as the S; and it has this annoying "sleep" feature that turns the controller off when its idle for too along. when its in this mode it can only "wake" up by pressing one of the action buttons (xyab) instead of an independent button for just waking it up.

Im assuming the 360 controller will blow this controller out the water.

It's hard to keep track of anything when you're drunk and stoned.

That's actually a good point about what xbox it's connected to. I personally own 3 working xboxes and more then enough joysticks for each of them.
One think I think they'll do is have the ring of leds around the 360 button on the joystick indicate what player it is.
