Play and Charge or AA Rechargeable batteries?

So currently I am using a play and charge kit for my controller, but it is getting to the point again where it no longer holds any charge and I have to keep it plugged in constantly. Another problem is my wire has to be held a certain way for the red light to come on which makes playing annoying at times.

So it is time to once again purchase another one of these, but this time I am wondering whether or not I should get another (my third) play and charge kit.. or pick up some rechargeable batteries instead. I am kind of leaning towards the batteries due to the fact that I also have a turtle beach headset that makes a buzzing noise when my play and charge kit is plugged in.

However, which in the long run is the better deal overall? I can live with a buzzing noise if the play and charge is a better deal. Also what is the best rechargeable batteries and charger brand if that is the way to go.

Thanks for your help :)!

No contest

AA's, you can get a higher capacity battery for less money

Any recommendations on a Charger and Battery brand? Or do they all work fine?Dr_Snood

Well are you the kind of person who plans to charge a lot and let them sit or are you just going to charge/play/charge/play?

If you want them to sit I'd say grab some Enelope's since they don't die (much) on the shelf once charged

I'm a charge/play/charge kind of guy so I grabbed some Energizers

They have 15 min chargers for more but ehhh, I don't see the point

I'd say grab any reputable maker, Duracell's are good too.

No sweat, now you just have to shop around to see who's got the best price
