Why would it be any different during on-line play?

Its like saying a laptop battery is less when you use the internet...

The battery will drain more power when using the mic as this is uses the battery too. I wouldn't it would use a great deal of power though.

Not sure about the newer wireless controllers but mine glow dimly at times and I attribute my crappy battery life to this. And yes i have the play and charge kit.

The rechargables are the only way to go, im no tree hugger but if you play a lot you go through a ton of batteries and end up throwing two away every week or so. The rechargables are well worth the extra couple bucks, and no i don't think that they go quicker online, maybe you lose track of the amount of time your playing like i do.

Rechargable batteries are expensive and taking too much time and effort charging. I bought those cheap chinese batteries from the flee market ($5 for like 20) and they lasted very long, a month or more for each pair. May be I don't play xbox360 that much.
