Time for some freaking sleep! I've been studying for midterms from 2pm until 7am and I am freaking going to bed. I think I'm gonna wake up play the hell out of Advanced Wars DS and then go back to studying. College always seems to get in the way of things. Especially this cute girl who's been sleeping in my bed since 12am that needs company :P Ah well 7 hours late isn't that bad lol. Share your college torture stories. Like maybe you got a new game and wanted to play it but you had a test and all you could do was think about the game. Something like that?
You have no facts. Only a weaksauce article from a questionable Japanese website that was probably translated using bablefish and then fed to three semi-credible gaming websites. And from that you extrapolate that the battery in PS3's controller cannot be removed without a soldering iron and a degree in electronics, and not a simple phillipshead screwdriver.Timstuff
"UK trade site GamesIndustry.biz is reporting that Sony has a solution to concerns about the PlayStation 3 controller's rechargeable batteries. With no way for users to access the controller's battery compartment to replace them if they eventually fail to hold a charge, there was some concern about what would happen to such controllers. According to GamesIndustry.biz, a Sony representative told the site that the electronics giant "will provide a service to replace wireless PS3 controllers 'when and if' their lithium batteries degrade." The representative added that it would be many years before the batteries degraded. There was no indication as to how much--if anything--Sony would charge for the service."
Like I said there is no way to replace the battery. You have to send the controller back to Sony so they can replace the entire controller you cannot replace the battery. You have been owned thank you for your time.
Thanks for all of your help but I have not the slightest clue how to even work irc. I'm too busy playing madden right now to bother learning so you don't have to reply back. I'll figure it on some day.Â
[QUOTE="Blackbond"][QUOTE="Timstuff"]Only ONE site is claiming that the battery is non-replaceable, and three other sites quoted them. Stop acting like that counts as multiple sources, because it clearly DOES NOT. Also, I would like to know a bit more about the credability of the original site, as well as the poeple who translated it (it was translated by message board junkies, so that doesn't help).
And Sony always uses phillips head screws in their hardware, so it's easy to open up. I've opened up four PS2 controllers to remove junk, and I didn't once "ruin" one of them. If you can screw up something so simple then your gaming skills must not be very good either. Timstuff
Okay we will play by your childish rules. I have one source of information saying that the battery can't be replaced and you have none. Opinions don't matter in debates only facts. Until you show me a source of info that proves the battery is replacable you lose, period. How about myself? I probably have about as much credability as a mysterious Japanese website that no-one can seem to tell me jack squat about.
LOL omfg. Unless you are a publicist or work for some sort of website that covers video games you are not a credible source of info. I will trust the words of people who are AN ACTUAL NEWS PUBLICATION over the words of some fanboy on system wars LOL. So in other words you are admitting that you couldn't find anything to back up your OPINION. Foolish.

[QUOTE="Blackbond"][QUOTE="Timstuff"]Sorry, but I'll need some proof that "broadband watch" is a credible source. They also said that the controllers have to be connected via USB cable in order to bind to the console, which reeks a bit of BS if you ask me. Timstuff
You recieved three different sources that all said the same thing. Sorry man you have been owned just deal with it. Three sources saying the same thing isn't coincidental. Three different sites all quoting another site that was translated. Sorry, I'll need something more concrete than that. Consider YOURSELF owned until you prove that the battery is not replaceable.
Tell me man. Why do multiple sites claim that the battery isn't replacable and that you have to replace the controller while not one website says you can replace it. You can't defend youself until you show me that the controller battery can be replaced because all the FACTS that I have found disapprove your OPINION.
