PS3 Has No Achievements, Replaceable Controllers

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Friday October 20, 2006 @09:49AM from the quite-friendly-of-them dept.

So, there is bad news and good news. The bad news is, despite the popularity of the Gamerscore and Achivements on Xbox Live, the PS3 won't offer that. Despite earlier rumours on the subject, developers will have to pick and choose if they want to have a system like that. Sony says first party titles will offer 'entitlements' ... but none of the launch titles will have it. There is good news for PS3 fans, though, as Sony says it will replace controllers if the batteries wear out. The lithium batteries the company is shipping the controllers with should last 'for many years'.

"There is good news for PS3 fans, though, as Sony says it will replace controllers if the batteries wear out." They havent taken into account the crazed gamer types out there that play forever. I guarantee quite a few will run out within a year. Unless their controllers are so crappy people will end up breaking them before the batteries wear out.
