What is the Best Console Controller of All Time?
Mateo Slovinsky asks: "Is the XBox 360's controller the best controller of all time? CNet seems to think so in its line up of the top five gamepads of all time. If you expected the Wii's controller, you will be dissapointed. It's a brilliant piece of innovation, but there simply aren't enough games to judge it against the best controllers ever." Which controller would you pick? What controllers have not left your hands cramped after a marathon session of gaming?
Which is silly since Both of mine can go a good 10h continiously on a charge. His are either defective, damaged, or he's charging them for very short periods. I leave mine over night. I have never experienced the problems he's had and It sounds like he's make up a story.
It sounds to me like you's a liar.
I leave my PS3 controller plugged in whenever it's not in use. It pops up with a full charge (I check), I use it. Somewhere between the 5-6 hour mark, I get the first signs of trouble. Battery indicator still has 2 bars. Around 7-8 hours, if I push through the issues, the indicator drops to 1 bar.
Side note: what the fuck is wrong with Sony that they can't put at least a 10-bar indicator, or else just a damn digital percentage readout, to tell what capacity is left in the battery? There are at least 20 modifications to the PSP firmware that do this now - hell, if you're in a game, hitting the Home button does it - and you'd think they'd take the fucking hint that 3 bars isn't good enough.
