AtheK Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 Aaah!! I always have stock of AA and AAA batteries at home. Maybe thats why I find it more convenient than having to charge the DS3. that is what i like about DS3 now, i can plug it into any USB port, i always have my laptop around me, so i can just keep on gaming...all i wanted to stress was that why can't MS just use the same and use a mini USB port to charge even there rechargable battery packs, rather then there proprietary stuff..

Solitaire Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 In my house, there's always one PC on - one of the desktops or one of the laptops - so it's much more convenient for me to charge the DS3 than to get AA or AAA batteries. Besides, more batteries = more electronic + chemical waste. Not quite the optimum solution for the environment. And yes, I prefer wired controllers.

nash Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 Yeah, I have one. Works without any issues, but no six-axis. Fk six-axis. I disable it in all my games anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess its a difference in the way we run our setups. I've always stocked batteries in my room whether in Mumbai or Muscat thanks to the numerous remotes and gadgets I have. When I go for a business trip, I'm out for 10-20 days and after coming back I usually find the DS3 dead or nearly dead on battery charge. Thats when it becomes ultra frustrating to wait for it to charge before using it. With the X360, I just pop in a fresh set of batteries and I'm set.

Jigsaw Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 ^^ 2nd that And the pray & charge kit anyways doesn't hold as much charge as a pair of AA batteries. And i've been through 2 of them.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saumil Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 I never got this obsession with disc type D-pads. Just make a separate button for each direction; problem solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joy Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 But I've heard some games use it very cleverly.....like Heavy Rain for instance. Folklore , Lair and some part of Heavenly Sword use the six-axis excellently. Not to forget the awesome Flower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how but there are times when I just leave the PS3 altogether without any usage for 2-3 months on end (like I did when my last sem exams were on and till a few days before my GRE). But the DS3 still had nearly a full charge when I switched it back on. Yeah, a difference of how we use it I guess. I stock batteries too, but I hate using them unless absolutely necessary.

Joy Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 Yeah even I had not used PS3 quite a few times for more than month and charge remains intact the way I left it , maybe MT's DS3 battery life is coming to a close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark_Knight Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 I can't get used to the DS3 when it comes to shooters I saw the XCM Converter for 20$ and was thinking about buying it Anyways the new Dpad looks good... I might buy the new controller if the any of my current ones goes bust... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solitaire Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 That is hardely the most optimum solution for the globe I agree. But it's usually in standby. What i meant was when not using the PS3 (that's like most of the time during the week). Atleast I don't game 10 hours a day with a HUGE TV and a BIG home theater system on. And yeah, when the PC is left on overnight, I compensate by leaving the air conditioning in my room off. That should even it. Though I don't suppose you can say the same when each battery you throw away puts more lead, zinc and alkalies into a landfill and then the soil and hence someone's water supply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noctis Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 I agree. There are options. I use these. f**king awesome! Cool, never thought about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
