Title: lol wow, I didn't know this about the Wii-mote

The current design of the Wii Remote uses two AA batteries as a power source, which can power a Wii Remote for 60 hours using just the accelerometer functionality, and 30 hours using also the pointer functionality. For the Wii Remote a direct recharging option has not been revealed. According to an interview with Nintendo industrial designer Lance Barr, limitations of the Wii Remote's expansion port make it unlikely that it will be used for internal battery charging. Nintendo of America's Senior Director of Public Relations, Beth Llewelyn, has stated that Nintendo "hasn't quite figured out what to do about power for the Remotes".

Wow the Revolution lost !
I was gonna buy one for my sister as a Christmas gift :grumpy:

Lame, but not as lame as having no rumble.
I'd rather have to change batteries every 30 hours than play, let's say, Call of Duty without rumble.

I'm sure there'll be a 3rd party controller with rumble so you can play the ps2 games, but i don't think that the vibration feature makes or breaks a game tho.

How will there be a 3rd party rumble with no rumble in the game?  You want the controller to just shake every 10 seconds or something?

^^That's why I said PS2 games. I don't think that the PS3 supports vibration out of the box, but with the Linux OS, someone will crack it soon enough. But like I said, the vibration hardly makes or breaks a game.
