The thing is, MS can afford it! The amount of profit they are earning in a quarter off Windows alone is enough to beat the crap out of both Sony and Nintendo combined! MS can stay in this game as long as it's other sectors keep on rolling in the cash. In the meant time, Sony and Nintendo can't do this because Sony is in dire finacial straits (Battery recalls, realiment, PS3 is simply too costly etc) and Nintendo, even though they are ver profitable, have only one division, which is gaming. This is why Wii is so cheap to make and will earn a profit at the very begining.
[QUOTE="Timstuff"][QUOTE="Blackbond"][QUOTE="Timstuff"]Sorry, but I'll need some proof that "broadband watch" is a credible source. They also said that the controllers have to be connected via USB cable in order to bind to the console, which reeks a bit of BS if you ask me. Blackbond
You recieved three different sources that all said the same thing. Sorry man you have been owned just deal with it. Three sources saying the same thing isn't coincidental. Three different sites all quoting another site that was translated. Sorry, I'll need something more concrete than that. Consider YOURSELF owned until you prove that the battery is not replaceable.
Tell me man. Why do multiple sites claim that the battery isn't replacable and that you have to replace the controller while not one website says you can replace it. You can't defend youself until you show me that the controller battery can be replaced because all the FACTS that I have found disapprove your OPINION.
Ummm....Black, forget it! This guy will never admit he got owned. In his little mind, he's so right that even if the facts are staring in his face, he will never admit it and will invent excuses to look like he's right. In fact, to even further assuage his pain, he will keep on saying you got owned no matter what. Even if it comes directly out of KK's mouth.
If the back comes off with a screwdriver, then the battery is replaceable. And I'm sure that as soon as there's need for new batteries, third parties will supply them (assuming Sony does not). If you've never opened up a controller before, then you haven't been gaming very long.Timstuff
Yes, you can. But you forgot one simple thing. CONVINENCE! It's simply not very convinente for me or anyone else to have to open up an entire controller to replace the batteries....and if you mess up.......That's why most stuff the do contain batteries have a port that can easily open or close for convinence. Besides, if you ever check out say Nintendo or MS controllers, the screws they use are not regular screw types, making them even harder to open. And the controllers inards, in fact with any electronic devices are extremly delicate. If you don't know what you are doing and you mess up while changing the batteries, then kiss your controller goodbye!
All I can say Timstuff got his ass handed to him!!! And now he's completely gone because of the ownage he recieved!
JESUS! Anyone who did some research will know that the Six-Axis no shock's battery is not changeable since E3. There there were plenty of people who said that the controller lacks a port that allows you access to the batteries. This have been confirmed again and again during subsquent plays by people and Sony's comments now completely iced it and here come Timstuff saying that the batteries were replaceable..........
Your moderation notice has been accepted. Thank you for making GameSpot a better place!

Aww little kid snitchin on the 5-0. I better hide. You call yourself mature and you can't even handle that. Pfft go back to Disney Land
You BETTER Hide! That post of you is a BLATANT violation of the TOS in the tallest order. There is no way or no need to resort to that kind of personal attack but you did. It seems you want everyone to agree with your points and when someone pointed out differently, you resorted to personal attacks and not just any personal attacks but personal attacks of the foulest nature! So no joke. Once the mod got ahold of what you posted, you are gone!
I think King_Reyes is a fakeboy acting stupid just to get a reaction out of Sheep by posting flame thread with dumb to absolutely blatant arguments just so he can have a laugh.
....Either that or he only have an IQ of 12.......
