Wireless Controler?

[Kishin]

Does anyone know the recharge time for this?I think its a great feature that you dont have to pay extra for. I just hope that there is enough charge.

[Akany]

Not too sure on the recharge time, but I know that you simply plug it into the Xbox360 and use it like a normal controller to recharge it - not too much of a hassle

[sketchynetwk]

I read somewhere it was like 3 hours to get it recharged but there will be a docking station avalible after the release, its a good idea but if you play for hours your stuffed.

[Iron Orta]

u can charge while playing as far as ive herd and the battery life is around 40 hours, should be enough 4 even the most dedicated players

As far as recharge time goes i would guess it will be around 3-4 hours

[Dan]

I wonder whether it will use AA's or an internal battery. Internal makes the most sense since recharging would be easiest.

Either way, as long as the controllers are wireless and smaller than the normal XBox ones, I'm happy. I actually have to wrestle with my friend for the third party controller, since it's so much more comfortable..

[Iron Orta]

I like the fact that they are sticking with the S-pad shape more than the original, and i hope they use force feedback.

i heard it has a 24 hour charge life, and when it gets low you plug an av chord into it and the console and you can still use it while it's recharging!

[Mr.Combine]

Man the Xbox 360 is so freakin amazing I may preorder it soon.

[Justin Buser]

24 hours aint bad at all, in fact I was thinking it would be more like 3 hours...

It charges via a lead that goes from the controllers to the console.

[Iron Orta]

The cord is only 4 charging or long gaming, when charged u get rid of the cable obviously

[Grindstone]

Does anyone have an official statement on the battery life? 40 hours, 24 hours, all speculations to what you have heard. I want solid facts from official press releases, anyone have a link to one?
