Xbox2/Xeon/360 To have wireless controllers
Hey there is cool little article over at [url=http://www.engadget.com/entry/1234000043031970] Engadget [/url]
About the next Xbox's controllers being wireless, how cool would that be? I just hope it comes with rechargeable batteries, like the logitech cordless mice with the little cradles.

Wireless controllers really aren't a priority for me. First of all, I don't really trust their reliability. Second of all, they would be a luxury item that would drive up the cost of the new xbox without increasing its quality of performance. If they must exist, I say leave them to the aftermarket.

that might be cool, i have never used one

I hate wireless. Wired is much more reliable. Just 2 inches farther away can make a really noticable difference.

The MX700 is a wireless mouse that plugs into a charger when you're not using it. Battery life is usually a day +.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Slayd722 A lot of you guys seem to be missing the point. He's not saying there will be optional, 3rd party wireless controllers - He's saying that there may be no other option than wireless. I'm okay with that... I used to be skeptical about wireless things, but now I have a Centrino and hooked up wirelessly to my network, and it's pretty stable... Wireless technology has come a long way. (Yes, I know there's a difference between WLANs and wireless controllers.) If they decide to make it standard and mandatory, then I trust them. They wouldn't choose controllers that cut out every 10 minutes. Some day, we may never want to go back to wired. And I don't think that day is very far away.[/quote] One word: "batteries"

Yes I believe they meant it would have wireless controllers right out of the box.
-
there were wireless controllers for SNES?? amazing!!
-
I haven't had a wireless controller since the SNES days, I don't trust them at all.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] focused7 They have wireless controllers avaliable for the current xbox.[/quote] yea but i think by wireless he means that the controller ports would actually be those little reciever things and EVERY controller was wireless.
