[PS3] no replacement batteries for 'sixaxis' controller

[kronas]

sony is not going down the microsoft route of allowing consumers to replace batteries in its 'sixaxis' wireless controller, which means you would have to buy a new controller everytime the batteries could no longer hold charge, or use the usb cable to play with your controller, which kind of defeats the wireless aspect!

then you just buy em from argos and take em back and say there faulty and you will get a new one ;)

ah, but its not known what type of replacement program they will have in place, certainly sony WONT be having one, so it would be retailers discretion.
