Nonreplaceable batteries suck.
Even better is you have to pair your controller with the PS3 with a USB cable each time you turn it on.

I think this part is false. You have to pair up the bluetooth controller similarly like you would a bluetooth earpiece and a phone when you first set everything up. After that, they should work together all the time.

Ipod batteries are considered not replaceable, doesn't mean you can't do it though.
I'm sure someone will come up with something pretty quickly.

I am just going off of what the article said. But it was a translation of a japanese page so maybe something was lost in the translation.
Those wondering about battery life will be happy to note the controller is expected to get about 30 hours of playtime out of one 2.5 hour charge. As the battery isn't replaceable, when it's no longer recharging the controller needs to be replaced or sent for repairs.

How much are they going to charge you for repairs though? User-replaceable batteries make more sense.

does not sound like a big deal to me.

Not a big deal? Both of those options cost money and time. It is a big deal.

I'm waiting for the "exploding controllers" from shoddy Sony batteries.

With standard NiMH batteries you should be able to get several thousand charges in before they can't be charged anymore. That would be over 30,000 hrs playtime.
