Is there a universal charger?
 

XCM Multi Charger charges a bunch of different items, I'm not sure about Wii since it doesn't list it, but it does so many others I'd assume the Wii would work too.

Thats a USB charger that plugs into the wall, so anything that charges via USB will be good with that.

Still need to buy the battery packs for 360 and Wii seperate.

or just get rechargable batteries

Yeah I just noticed it's $90 too. Forget I mentioned it.

Not universal but it's better than using AA's all the time.

DealExtreme are great, just be prepared to wait quite a while for shipping.

Energizer has one that comes with 4 AAs and the charging base for like $20

I think that's the one I have. Just plug it in when you're finished playing and it recharges itself every time, I never have to take it out for anything.

This is why PS3 rules.

PS3 controllers are rechargable. they use the USB port on the console to recharge.

Rechargeable batteries are very nice to have

As does Xbox 360.

I'm certainly glad I'm not the only one here who knows this. Good save.

I just thought it was odd that the PS3 ruled for something not particularly exclusive to it. I'd say modern consoles in general rule for the feature.

Only if you buy the rechargeable battery pack and the usb attachment.

PS3's does it right out of the box.

A shame they're also disposable.

Penner was likely referencing the fact that PS3 does it by default.

As such, no, the 360 does not. Personally, I'd rather have a couple battery packs plus a play and charge or quick charge kit, but then, it still means you're buying a 20 dollar accessory to do what the PS3 does out of the box.

This.

I personally think it's dumb that 360 does not do it right out of the box.

I'm fairly certain Xbox comes with a controller charger for the one wireless controller. Dead certain, in fact. As in the last three Xboxes I've seen unboxed came with one. Stock.

That's odd then.

No, you owning a Wii.

Which SKU are we talkin, because I have clear memory of unwrapping a charge cord.

Yeah Kalyx, you're full of shit.

BDC has a Pro model, but it doesn't come with the Elite, Arcade, or any known model to date. You're mistaken, Kalyx. At least, I'm assuming so because I don't know why anyone would be petty enough to lie about this.

Buddies confirm my memories betray me, there were often extra purchases of wireless controllers when we got XBoxes so... yeah. Major fail on my part.
