Xbox 2 to get natty wireless feature

[Tyler]

Well, there is now a blossoming market for wireless peripherals for all three major consoles, and Microsoft has spotted this. The Xbox was lauded for having controller wires that were incredibly long, and now they have gone one better by making wireless controllers standard on the Xbox 2. We don't think the controller is going to change much in size or shape from the Controller S design that is currently shipping, apart from this added wireless functionality.

I know a lot of you are not huge fans of the Inquirer but here's the story for you anyway.

freaking hell. Seriously, how long has it taken for console manufacturers to figure out that wired controllers are one of the single most annoying things about them EVAR!! Standard wireless, with high quality built in batteries that recharge by plugging into the console is such an obvious idea, it's not funny
