OK, so maybe recharging controllers isn’t the biggest problem in the world, but it is definitely a little pet peeve of many gamers. Another problem is that the Wii only accepts AA batteries, and if you aren’t using rechargeables yet, then stop complaining because you aren’t using your brain. Luckly, the recharging station forces you to use the NiMH batteries. The Wii charging station is to be priced at $29.99. As for the PS3 Sixaxis controllers, the station for them is able to hold up to four at one time. It doesn’t plug into your PS3, allowing you to turn off your system while charging the controllers because the process no longer includes the system. The PS3 charging station is to go for $39.99. Why the price jump? It holds two more controllers, so it’s worth it and stop complaining. So maybe you absolutely hate having to recharge these new wireless controllers, or maybe you just want to simplify an already simple process. Either way, these recharging stations are very nice to have, if you have the dough. — Nik Gomez
