I’m currently charging my Xbox 360 controller does anyone know if the Playstation boomerang controller will have a similar (play and charge kit) or will it have something different were you can only charge it. Also does anyone know the name of the controller besides “Boomerang”?
If that was some sort of silly attempt to make ps3 fans feel bad you need to try a little harder. But to answer your question the ps3 control will be charged form the usb ports on the console... There will be no need for us to buy any stupid charger or anything like that... As for the name of the controler sony hasn't said anything, so the PS3 control will have to do for now, anyway last I checked the box's control doesn't have a name so what't the big deal...
I’m not a big fan of wireless controllers mainly because of the batteries and recharging them. The only reason why I bought another Xbox 360 wireless controller was because of the ““Play & Charge kit”” Once Vision Gran Turismo comes out I’ll probably spend hours on that game. Once you get use to playing wirelessly, attaching the “Play & Charge kit” becomes annoying. The max I can get on the 360 controller is probably 6hrs I’ve timed it while playing PGR3.
So wait, will the controller charge through a cable or through wireless capabilities before the charge runs out. Pic of the PS3 controller -----> http://www.npgamers.com/ps3controllerpics.htm

ahha yes but you have to buy a head set...and if you want to see your games in HD you have to buy a cable...dont have to do those things for the 360 (which by the way, both are more expensive than a $20 plug and play pack)....and also, once the battery in a PS3 controller dies, you cant go out to buy a new battery...you have to buy a new controller! How cool is that?! Maybe thats why 360 owners have to buy a battery to do plug n play....because it makes more SENSE. And before you say that the battery in the controllers will last a long time...they WONT. All rechargeable batteries have a finite number of charges before they start to go. Little by little you will have to start recharging them more and more often...and that can start within a YEAR. So in a couple years you will be faced with "hmmm should i keep recharging my controller twice a week even though it works...or should i spend another $60 on a new controller..".

Lithium ion rechargeable batteries are very popular in consumer electronics.. They are quite convenient...and yes, many of them are non-replaceable for the most part.
I don't see how this is refutable. If you don't like Lithium Ion products then don't buy them....but most everyone uses these

It is probbly cheaper to buy a new controller every year or so than to buy hundreds of batteries
I got the 2 control charge stand. It is officially licensed by Sony and it comes in very handy for me because I don't always have my PS3 setup so I don't usually charge them through the USB ports.
who the hell brought this thread back to life lol. well its funny cuz clearly the 360 boys arn't the ones laughing too hard about controller-battery situations
