My battery's dead... Now what?

I bought the play and charge kit about 3 years ago and it looks like the battery is finally dead, even though I barely used it last year (only bought 2 games for the console, never played online). Anyway can I expect MS to give me a new one for free? Or should I just stick to AA batteries? Is that cheaper?

get more AA batteries?

Ive been going on the same batteries for 4 months now with the play and charge kit, if my play and change kit isnt on it wont turn on my controller. The play and charge gives it just enough to run.

Sorry, you are out of luck unless you buy a new one. Lithium Ion rechargable batteries only have a finite life span based on age and the number of charge cycles. Seems like you have to buy a new one.

Oh, you should get either,

A. A new controller

B.New play and chage kit

c. a corded controller

Paying $12 for a new battery every 2 years or so sound cheap to me. If you go with just regular AA's I think you would be spending more then that.

You've used it for 3 years and you think they're just going to give you another one for free?UT_Wrestler

I figured it was worth asking since, as I mentioned, Sony replaces the PS3's for free.

Thanks for all the input guys. I found some cheap on eBay so I guess I'll just buy another.
