Xbox 360 xontroller

I live in Australia and am planning to buy the 360 Pro Console pack. But I'm wondering avout the controller and its battery. Is it an inbuilt rechargeable one or is it like AAA batteries.
 
I've only seen my cousins, but I'm pretty sure they're built-in rechargeable.


I dunno why the fuck nintendo went with AAA batteries in the wiimotes.. maybe they hate the environment.. maybe they get kick backs from battery manufacturers... Maybe they're just assholes who want to make their customers miserable. v🙂v
 
It comes with a caddy that holds 2 AA (not AAA) batteries, and if you choose you can buy the rechargeable battery + charging cable (~$12) OR rechargeable batter + stand-alone charger (I got it for $22 at Walmart), OR you could go with much more versatile (and cheaper) rechargeable AA batteries. I'd recommend Sanyo Eneloops.

Seconded.

I'd also like to add that Wiimotes use AA not AAA batteries.

Wrong on both counts... you have to BUY rechargeables for the 360 either as a pack or just rechargeable AAs. And the wii uses AAs as well. Nice try though. Actually it wasn't, it was god awful.
