Default Wireless or Wired

If you were to buy extra controllers, would they be wireless, wired, or both ?

I think I want a wired controller, because next year when I get my computer, I will hopefully be able to use it on the 360, as well as the computer.

Wireless, it has to be!

The ability to throw your pad off the wall without fear of a wire getting caught sounds fantastic.

Definately Wireless. Now there'll be no danger of my Console dropping off my shelf and onto my floor

I'll definitely be getting wireless, I don't know how the wires get so tangled with my Xbox controllers at the moment, but they are always really tangled up.

Wireless.

I love my Wavebird controller on the Gamecube. If I'd bought 4 this time, things would have been so much tidier. I would have been a lot poorer, though, so I didn't.

Should be doing so this time around, though.

Definately wireless, but don't you need batteries for them?

Yeah, but they can go for long periods of time without having to be replaced.

I think I've charged/replaced my Wavebird batteries about 4 times ever, and I've had the thing for well over a year. Used it a fair amount of well.

So all you have to do is buy 8 rechargable batteries and you're set for a couple of years at least.

I like the wireless but I don't want to have to pay even MORE money for batteries constantly and a play and charge kit. I already paid almost $500 for a console and game so I really don't want to buy this too. Plus there's an XBox live subscription and now we have to pay for extra content that used to be free on Xbox with the Marketplace.

Microsoft really wants to milk us gamers for all we're worth and they arent getting anything extra out of me. Are they going to make us pay for games we can play free on the PC like Bejewled and Poker over Xbox Arcade too? I honestly would not be surprised.

Looks like the only one with consumers still in mind is Nintendo.

It's not the heat it's the humidity.

I think its too early to know what there going to sell for free and what there going to charge. Im sure things like skins, avatars, trailers, demos and themes for free and then they will charge premium content such as new maps,cars and things like that.

It all better be free and marketplace better be used for selling user created content. A $50 subscription should be well enough to give us free content. With Xbox Live I got the Halo2 maps,new levels in Splinter Cell,planes for Crimson Skies and much more free with my subscription.
