Forums - Sony Discussion - Yahoo!: Don't buy a PS3 for Christmas because of dead battery.

http://customsites.yahoo.com/financiallyfit/finance/article-108318-3394-3-gifts-you-may-want-to-avoid-html?ywaad=ad0035

This one had me scratching my head. According to the article the PS3 controller battery can die and then you have to buy a new one? It doesn't even mention its recharchagble. I have never heard of this problem and wondering if any of you have?

 

Sony PlayStation 3

It's all fun and games until the battery dies. Unlike its competitors, which use replaceable AA batteries, the PS3's remote control is glued shut. When the battery goes, Sony customers have to blow $55 on a new controller. Sony says there's an "environmental benefit" since gamers don't have to toss their batteries on a regular basis, but Isidor Buchmann, president of battery-equipment maker Cadex Electronics, says captive batteries are becoming common because it's cheaper for companies to eliminate the battery housing and hatch.

News flash dont by PC's because the cmos battery cab run out. Then you have to buy a new battery but you wont know how to do it because PC's are complicated so you will have to purchase a new one.
