PSN to SEN: Time to rage quit? - DarkFeed
18 hours 14 mins ago
Have you ever wondered which Next Generation Console offers the longest time available for battery life whilst playing?.. Well Gamepro over the last month has tested the Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii and Playstation 3 controllers to see which one will last longest through wireless gaming.
Follow the Source, for full results.
For our tests, we cleaved to the following criteria: We only used out-of-the box hardware -- that means no charger packs for 360 and Wii, which must be purchased separately. We played a wide variety of games on each console, including lengthy single-player adventures and shallow down loadable games, both online and off. We played for varying time intervals, from fifteen minutes to upwards of eight hours (Hello weekends!). We used Duracell CopperTops for 360 and Wii testing. And we deemed all battery(s) dead after attempting to reconnect the controller for a third consecutive time. Behold, the results:

They claim that buying a 360 controller and a play and charge kit will save you money over a PS3 controller. o_0
360 controller + Play and charge = $70
PS3 controller = $50
Very ignorant of them to say that.
Plus, I'm fairly sure my controllers lasted 36hours + whilst I've been gaming, they've been weeks between the time I've charged my controller and it's always worked
Well, I keep my controller plugged in most of the time >_>
Seriously another waste of an article. My PS3 controllers lasts weeks before charging it, but i only play 4 hours or less during my time of playing it.
Oh well. My PS3 controller last long enough for my liking.
Even if it does get close to dying, I can just plug it up to the system and play wired for a while.
