Bonin' this weekend (Gaming)

I went with rechargeable batteries this go round. I have eight AA rechargeables, and a plastic container that holds four that I keep nearby. When four have died (Xbone or 360), I recharge those.

I do much the same; when I switched digital cameras after a decade, the new one goes through batteries so much less often that my octet of AAs was severe overkill. Using them in my controllers at least gives them some use before the last set discharges itself in the packages. :)

-- Steve's noticed the One's controller is slightly more battery hungry than the 360's; may be the extra force feedback motors. Shouldn't be a huge issue when using rechargeables, though.
