Copper tops aren't being compared to rechargeables... they're being
compared to the charge for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 controllers.

OF PLAY TIME? I have to call B.S. on this. There is NO FREAKING
WAY! I have had my 360 since launch and that is a bunch of garbage.
The 360 controller does not have 3 times the length of gaming time as
the PS3 controller. I don't know which one they are playing with but
I have had to charge my 360 rechargeable after about 20 full games of
Madden during a tournament and I remember playing 27 games of Madden
on my PS3 over Spring Break and I didn't charge it once. My son's Wii
controllers rest on the charger so I have no idea how long they would
last. I guess we will find out once Mario Kart comes out.
