The controller will have a 30-hour battery life, a figure that seems to be in line with other Bluetooth devices but far short of the 300-hour 2.4GHz models available for current consoles. Eh? My 360 controller needs recharging after approximately 35-45 hrs. 30hrs is fine. And of course one reason why the PS3 controller is so light is because it does'nt have two AA batteries inside, unlike the 360's.
