Even though 360 last longest... PS3 can hold a charge longer IMO... I left my 360 controller alone for 3 days when I went on vactation fully charged and when I returned it was dead... I didn't even have my PS3 hooked up for 2 weeks one time and when I plugged it in and turned it on... the controller was still fully charged...

I also like the PS3 charge more... simple built-in battery and USB recharge which is included with the console... no $29.99 kit to charge like 360...

I'm pretty sure I can only go for about 20 hours with my 360 controller...

So what happens when this built in battery wears out over time? Stop playing PS3? guess there is always the option to go out and buy another new controller for $60, lol. Nice move sony

They probably last that long with normal alkaline batteries.

I highly doubt they do with the rechargables.
