A built in rechargeable lithium ion battery like all devices in the 21st century have.

BTW, there IS a fee. MS was putting out contradicting statements, but when they were interviewed at last by Kotaku around 5pm, it was stated there was indeed a fee, which is the cost of the game. The only way to avoid it if you want to let a friend borrow the game is to have your friend play it under your profile on their system.

That's also what I got out of it. I'm really not happy with that. At this point, the XBONE (Heh heh... X Bone) is nothing more than a watered down PC that lacks any upgradability. I just don't see the point in getting one over a Gaming PC (besides upfront costs). Or even the PS4 for that matter.

Not all devices in the 21st century have a built in battery. There's plenty that have removable ones as well, and those are what I prefer.

The problem with built-in, as I said, is that once the life of the battery is over, you have to buy a completely new product.

See, my PSP, DS, 3DS, and PS3 controllers have made me hate having to change out batteries.

Really though this generation has basically been watered down PCs without the upgradibility, now they're just adding a whole load of new stuff to further push you towards PC gaming and abandon console gaming all together.

I guess I can see the PC argument but I've never been a fan of PC gaming. I prefer consoles for the few games that I actually do play. That's not my problem with this system. Paying a substantial fee to play a used game is my beef right now with it

Come to the dark side Den-O.

PC gaming is great. For FPS's, it's WASD and Mouse 1. There's a few other keys game dependant though, like spacebar (to jump usually, left shift (dash or crouch), R (to reload) etc.

For games like Assassin's Creed, I use an Xbox 360 controller. Works beautifully.

I won't lie. By and large my personal choice for PCs has to do with my avatar. You can make what you will out of that.

And before people get on a tangent, I do support the devs.

So in addition to not supporting Xbox 360 or Xbox the First type games, you can't even transfer-play Xbox LIVE games on this new thing.

nope and the borrowed game thing where you need to pay a fee to play it on your own profile is stupid hence why sony supports used and borrowed games hence why they are not charging

Ok, now that I've actually read up on the announcement, goodness that really was a spectacular failure.
