The XSX controller battery backup with Duracell is pure awesomeness. 5-6 hours in, I have barely made a dent. DS4 would've died by now.

Don't the lower capacity ones have way more recharge cycles though?

My question is why we not seeing that SSD advantage in PS5 version. 

 

SSD is 2x faster than SX but loadtimes difference only 2 secs? Wtf.

My reaction exactly when i read the 2 seconds faster loading time.

 

It's not as simple as that. Loading isn't just about loading assets from the SSD, they're also about creating and rendering the game world which involves both the CPU and GPU.

 

Game engines also need to be updated to support these speeds. Plus, I'm betting none of the developers are actually leveraging the SSD enhancements on either sides; apart from maybe the first part developers.

Yep, but probably not going to matter all that much, considering how long they last on a charge.

@adity is a converted xbot. Traitor to his ilk.

Same. Use Duracell rechargeable ones with my Xbox One S. 

Easily last ~10-15 hours on a single charge with 4-6 hours of even my Cloud Alpha connected to them and sucking power.

I have the God-tier Eneloop batteries that I bought in 2013. They're still going strong after 7 years. Not sure how that's possible but yeah. Apart from that, a couple of Duracell ones which are okay in comparison.

eneloops are meant for that. My earliest ones are from 2004 (around 10 of them) which still hold more than their advertised capacity.
