A Sony spokesman told GamesIndustry.biz that Sony plans to replace Playstation 3 Sixaxis controllers when and if they die.
The controllers use USB to recharge and do not have replaceable battaries.
"This is a purely speculative story and is largely untrue. The latest generation of Lithium Polymer batteries hardly suffer any memory effect at all, so it'll be many years before there's any degradation in terms of battery performance."The spokesperson went on to confirm, "When and if this happens, then of course we will be providing a service to exchange these items."
A Sony developer guessed last night that a controller would last one to two years, when I was talking to him at the Gamers' Day event.
