Sony's SIXAXIS controller for the Playstation 3 (the standard controller, supporting wireless gameplay and motion detection) will not have a battery that the user can replace. And you can imagine that, for those of use who plan on using it a lot, the batteries will wear out after charging them over and over again through USB.
A spokesperson for Sony has said that the batteries will probably last for a year or two, depending on how heavily the controller is used, before the battery really has to be replaced. Sony is willing to exchange your controller when that happens, however, so you won't have to spend another $50 on a new one. Good news from Sony is hard to come by, so cherish this one.
