PlayStation 3 Wireless Sixaxis Controller Decide Now

Sony really cheaped out on this one, hopefully the next batch will have rumble and be a higher quality product.
If you do not own an Xbox 360 it probably will not bother you as much, but there is a huge difference in quality and features.
No user replaceable battery means you have to plug it in to charge (which sucks and is not very future-like); it also means when the battery dies, you are screwed, and instead of $10 for a battery, its $40ish for a new controller (unless you want to take it apart and look for a battery, not yet readily available).
No rumble! It is typical of sony to be sour at companies, and cheap, and make the end user pay for it (No Rumble: over 90 million reasons / IR: Logitech, list goes on and on).
Also, battery life does not seem to be very good or as stated (nothing new), but maybe it's just more noticeable because I have to wait to charge it instead of just replacing the battery, and with the PS3 ports deactivated on standby (that was stupid), you have to power on the PS3 to charge it (for 3 hours at around 200w of wasted power for 5v), or just use a PC or 5v USB (ipod-like) wall adaptor (which I will probably buy soon and run it under the couch, however lame).

For the good points...
It connects faster than the 360 and I have not had 1 problem connecting as I have had a few times with the 360.
It's the standard PS2 design, so it will feel right to most people.
It does not easily show scuffs/markes like the white 360 controllers.
My hands do not seem to sweat as easily as with the 360, maybe because its smaller shape and lighter (lighter because no rumble and cheap plastic), but I think its because the 360 controller seems to fit better and touches more of the hand.

The PS3 is a great deal when you look at the whole package (I plan to get another), and I understand sony wanted to cut some costs (they have a lot invested in blu-ray and PS3), but sony is playing catch-up with a little company called Microsoft!
