Yeah I know rechargeable batteries are cheap, but these are pretty neat

Pretty cool idea -- do you know how long they last?

There is no reason you couldn't have a charger that plugs into a USB port for normal rechargable batteries.

A Wii and PS3 both have USB on them. It could charge it through that. Also USB is on a lot of the newer tv sets.

Now obv AA are not needed for the ps3 controller.

One added thing I think these have an indicator light when they are fully charged. I guess if you had a good regular wall charger, there might be a light on the charger telling you when its done charging.

Obviously an advantage with these batteries they are more portable, since with regular recharge batteries you have to bring the charger station with you.
