Sony's out of the competition: Xbox One includes TWO DOUBLE A BATTERIES

https://twitter.com/majornelson/status/365934086293950465

Microsoft's vision of the future continues to surprise the gaming industry, Microsoft includes not one, but TWO AA BATTERIES. (Charger sold separately). Microsoft only does bargains.

THIS IS CUTTING EDGE TECHNOLOGY PEOPLE, RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES ARE SO 1998.

They're still using batteries?

Game changer.

What a mediocre console, TLHBO.Kaz_Son

What do you mean? Microsofts mopping the floor with Sony, I think this announcement was too soon. They should have saved this for Gamescom. The world isn't ready for this sort of technology.

At least I can use those batteries for other devices too.

I just noticed the 213 post thread on this :(.

They also included two AA in the 360 box.

They'll be dry cells. 

Well, halleujeau, that sure makes up for the Kinect being bundled in.

We knew this a long time ago and it didnt really stop the 360 from selling

Oh thank GOD. I thought I was gonna have to steal them from my remote control!Netherscourge

It's all about the consumer over at Microsoft. You don't think they'd make you use your other batteries, would you? Microsoft would feel terrible. That's why you can only use Xbox-compatible Microsot branded AA batteries for $20.

Yup, the PS4 is done for.

Oh darn, I guess the rechargeable battery that comes in the dualshock cant compare with AA's.

I bet microsoft still uses floppy discs too.

$500 is alot for a paper weight and two aa batteries

Least the Xbox One controller is not going to need to replace the batteries before the DS4 needs to be re-charged! lol

You paid extra for the play and charge kit. You can just charge your PS3 controller while you're playing.

You can do that on the 360 and Xbox One controller. Also the new X1 controller you can use the charge cable to play without batteries.

You can always hook up the USB and play while it charges.

I would rather use rechargeable batteries. The power lasts longer then the PS3 controller and when I need to recharge the PS3 controller I need to stop gaming. I do not like sitting 3 feet from the TV while it charges since the cord is so dang short. When my 360 batteries need recharging it takes like 2 minutes tops since I just walk over to the drawer and pop in two batteries that are already charged.CanYouDiglt

Unless you use your controller as a hammer or dunk it regularly in water, that's not very likely :P.
