I love my wireless PS3 controller. I've never had a problem with running down the charge even if I play all day long (or am marathoning something on Netflix), as long as I started with a full charge. And it takes very little time to top off. I do have a cat so no cord means nothing for him to grab/sit on and get in my way when I'm playing. I don't notice it being overly heavy or anything, either. I do occasionally knock it off the arm of my chair but then, I did that with corded controllers too, so meh.

I do greatly dislike my mom's Wiimotes, though. In this day and age, all wireless controllers should be rechargeable, imo. It just seems like such a waste. Plus pretty much every time I need to use one for something, the batteries are dead, necessitating a ten minute quest to replace said batteries.
