One thing I forgot to mention in the #XboxOne unboxing: 2 AA batteries for the controller are included in the box http://mjr.mn/178xMEQ

That's two AA batteries for FREE. As far as I'm aware that is double the amount of batteries Sony has. Your move, Cerny.

For some reason, this was funny.

 

[madmackem]

Over delivering on value.

 

[tripskylark]

simply amazing i love this generation

 

[squidyj]

Cancelling my PS4 preorder. First more games and now more batteries, Xb0x1 is the clear choice.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Using AAs enure that the controller is

Spoiler

$5

cheaper than the Playstation controller.

 

[buy teh haloz]

What brand though?

 

[Dorimukyasuto]

That's crazy...crazy generous.

 

[Fitrix]

Really Microsoft?

Lithium-ion should be standard,down with this AA batteries!

 

[RedAssedApe]

DS4 only has one battery. 2 batteries is better than 1.

Xbone wins this one. Update the comparison chart!

 

[Xyber]

I'm pretty sure I saw a thread for this yesterday or something.

 

[Codeblue]

Why does the PS4 come with one AA battery?

 

[def sim]

We already had this thread.

 

[BLCKATK]

Sony is finished.

 

[Wolf Akela]

Sony really dropped the ball on this one. MS picking up where Sony failed.

 

[overconfidence]

AA batteries for an AA console.

 

[Slayer-33]

What brand though?

Rayobac

 

[Castcoder]

They couldn't make it one AA battery? *Ba dum tssshhh*

 

[Dorimukyasuto]

Rayobac

Engergizor

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

What brand though?

The same brand that everyone else packs in:

Spoiler

Some Chinese crap you've never heard of.

 

[PSGames]

This cannot be real. Not even worth the tweet he used to send that out.

 

[boinx]

It's over, Sony is finished.

 

[squidyj]

Man, that's like... AAAA. XboxOne Games are gonna be amazing.

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

Finally, a reason to buy a Xbox one.

 

[Shmowzow!]

I just canceled my PS4 preorder. This is a gamechanger

 

[Chris R]

Game changing!

Still pissed that Sony isn't going the AA route though, love me some Enloops.

You're wrong.

It's infinitely more.

The infinite power of the double-A.

Also I think it's pretty lame of Sony that they don't include AAs. I know they have enough because my new TV from them came with 4 AA batteries.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Man, that's like... AAAA. XboxOne Games are gonna be amazing.

Relevant topic.

 

[ElTorro]

Sources tell me, that the batteries will require a recurring connection to a power source every 24h or they'll stop working. What if I live somewhere without electricity? F*ck you, Microsoft.

The only responses such a non-tweet deserves. Whoop-dee-fuckity-doo.

 

[Rvaisse]

If people open the box like Major Nelson did, those batteries will end up in the trashbin and pollute the planet !

 

[mephixto]

 

[NewGame]

Energizer Ultimate Lithium or bust. Duracell is last gen.

 

[halfbeast]

there you go, folks! that's why it's 100 bucks more.

 

[IHaveIce]

Finally the 100$ extra are explained

Microsoft gives you a consumable that will be hazardous waste within a month, Sony gives you something that will also end up as hazardous waste but will take years to reach that point.

Sony has already won this game.

 

[FZZ]

Next gen batteries confirmed.

 

[pants]

fuck off with AA battery packs, jesus.

 

[DonMigs85]

They better be Energizer Advanced Lithiums or Eneloops

10/10, tag worthy. A point that will be looked at very intensely when the need for another round of moderators comes up.
