Halo-themed controller

I bought one of those controllers with the Halo cartoony artwork on it last week.  I needed a new one and I figured for 10 bucks more, why not?  Yes I have already taken crap from my clan for being a 'sucker', but if it floats your boat, by all means chime in.

I just wanted to ask if anyone knows about this thing--it appears that it will only work with the included battery pack--meaning I need to use real batteries, I can't use a rechargeable one in there.  Does anyone know if this is how it's supposed to be? The metal contacts on the rechargeable are different from the alkaline battery pack, it's just weird if they intended it that way.

Also if anyone's interested, the d-pad actually feels a lot tighter in this controller. The face buttons feel more responsive too but that could just be because my old controller is getting wear and tear. The d-pad is definitely better though. I could have looked into this controller a bit more before I bought it but what would this country be like without impulse buys? It would be Russia.

I have them both as well. Rechargeable batteries are fine in mine.

That rule was only in effect until the game came out, dipshit.

I bought the MC version. I didn't have any issues with using rechargable batteries in mine. FYI, I didn't pay a penny for mine. I traded in Gears of War and a few other games for it.

that sounds like a TOS violation, calling me names don't worry though, I am sure someone will see it and stick up for me *holds breath*

Since I see you are still here, they must not be enforcing that rule.
