PS3's Charge Cable vs. Xbox 360's Charge Cable
« on: November 11, 2006, 08:02:00 PM »
That is one of the nice things that the xbox had, was long cables. We aren't 8 years old anymore and sit right in front of the TV.

What a pain in the ass the PS3 controller is going to be because you have to plug it in to recharge. It is way better to have wireless 100% of the time with externally charged batteries.

video no longer available....

There will be longer cables for charging while playing.  I agree external battery would be nice, but as long as you plug it in when your done it shouldn't be too big a problem.

Being able to swap a battery out without having to hook up any wires is a better feature.  tongue.gif

also the ps3 is a mini usb cable, so it would be absurd if they didn't

Does anyone know how long the charging time for both controllers are?

From what I understand the PS3 controller when purchased seperately doesn't come with a cable.

Personally I do not want a play and charge kit from MS because an external battery charger is superior for my needs. The x360 does come with free batteries; it is up to the user to decide if they want to continue to use batteries, the play and charge kit, or an external battery charging system.
