Quote:You'll have a choice of the plain wireless controller, which runs off of a pair of AA batteries that should give you plenty of play time before running out, or you can also use the rechargeable battery pack (sold separately) with a play-charge cable, which temporarily turns your wireless controller into the wired variety, but only as long as it takes to recharge your gear. That means you'll never have to stop playing, even if it's 2:00 A.M. and the stores are closed. It's an ingenious little piece of equipment. "If your batteries die in the middle of a game session," Ranta told us, "You can just snap the cable in, keep playing, and it's charging your batteries at the same time."
