I actually prefer controllers that take AA batteries. I use rechargeable Li-Ion and Eneloop batteries for everything from the TV remote to my Xbox controllers. The Li-Ions last for such a long time, the Eneloops are more affordable than replacement internal batteries, and both charge overnight. I really wish more controllers allowed me to use them.
I still use my Xbox 360 controller I bought like 12 years ago for my PC. Doubt it would be anywhere near as usable, if it has a 12 year old rechargeable battery in it.
This is the perfect video for anyone who is feeling overwhelmed by the all the different Xbox accessories that are out there. You've done a great job of breaking things down and making them easy to understand. I would definitely recommend this video to anyone who is looking for some guidance on how to spend their money.

Hey, you should probably mention that there is a difference between the 1tb and the 12tb drives. You can play older gen xbox games only on the 12tb drive and xbox series s/x game on the 1tb expansion drive. One is an HDD and the other an SSD. not everyone knows the difference.
YES, I was looking for this. The HDD has major drawbacks, namely that you can't load Series X optimized games. Some might let you but they won't be near as fast and you can't do quick resume. Now many newer games are developed with the assumption that an SSD will be used.
Nah I prefer PS5 controller for multiplayer gaming because if the Xbox battery dies in mid match in cod you’re fucked unless ps5 controller you can put the charger on the controller and your set
The fact that the memory on disks in the operating system is always less than stated on the packaging has something to do with the calculation. The manufacturers calculate in GigaBytes 1GigaByte = 1000 Megabytes etc. But the PC calculates with GiBiBytes 1 GiBiBytes = 1024 MiBiBytes PCs calculate binary not decimal as an example 12TB = 12000GB x 0.9765625 = 11,718.75 GiBiByte : 1024 = 11.44TiBiByte
You must not be aware of the 8bitdo Pro 2...........which is wireless, Bluetooth, rechargeable, has space for batteries if you want to use those like it's 1987. And it is compatible with the Switch, MacOS, Windows, Android, and Steam. Just saying.....
I miss the old 360 aa battery pack. Designed to quick swap. Preload batteries and swap on the fly. The rechargeable packs for 360 were notoriously unreliable though.
I have an amazing tip for xbox owners! And it works great for current and last Gen consoles. It's quick, easy, and free to do, and it will allow your xbox to reach its full potential. There are no overheating issues or anything like that so don't worry. First thing you want to do is absolutely smash the console. Now that the plastic shell is removed in several pieces. Recycle the plastic, so that it can become a toilet seat in a taco bell on the side of the highway. And that's it. You're console has never been better, or more useful. You are doing yourself, and society a favor. Now go buy a Playstation or a Nintendo and become a real gamer. Because that's where all the great games are. Plus due to recent events, you can easily play what used to be xbox exclusives. All 3 of them.....
I had a series s with an elite 2 controller and the Xbox wireless headset. The headset sounded great and I was able to talk on the phone, listen to music and hear the game altogether. The controller, with practice, definitely helped a lot in COD. I switched to Ps5 thinking it would be better somehow but I deeply regret ever switching.

Cheers Oh and as for the cloud gaming, I highly recommend the GeForce Experience, its literally night and day difference. I bought the annual pass since I knew that the free hour pass was gonna get old real quick and glad I did. I honestly can say its like a 1-to-1 experience in terms of you feeling like you have the actual console in your living room. Its the first time out of the few cloud gaming services that I've tried that has convinced me that its definitely worth it and do indeed have the tech in order to make it happen. Definitely a 4.5 out of 5, the only downside if you can see any is the array of games it has is vast but still missing the lesser known games that usually aren't the big talker in gaming channels.
The Playstation controller is only $60-$70.......you just buy a new one. For half the price of the xbox controller that you need to purchase separately from the console. And the AA battery was invented over 100 years ago. Sony gave us wireless, Bluetooth, rechargeable Co trolleys with the console and ever since 2006......plus due to recent events, you can play xbox games on Playstation and/or Nintendo. And again about the battery you say is replaceable.....it's probably the same price as a new PS5 controller anyways. And then you just end up stuck with the same used, grimy, greasy, worn down controller. It's like building a new house in a dilapidated neighborhood......it's a good way to lose money. And I'm not arguing with you or trying to put you down, so please don't take it that way. I'm simply stating the facts. Being logical and rational. And it's up to you whether you want to face and accept the facts, or get upset and pretend I'm not right. Which would be, by definition, delusional.

Having removable batteries is a benefit, a huge benefit. A console generation is like pushing 10 years and people still use them way way beyond that. My PS3 controllers from 2006 or w.e still work but last barely any time at all. My XB360 controllers not only still work perfectly and last as long as they always have, they actually last longer due to new battery tech, also they can be turned into wired super easily as well. AND they still feel more premium and less hollow than ps3 controllers. lol
The advantage of having a removable rechargeable battery is the ease of hot swapping unlike the PlayStation where if the controller is dead you’re fd in the water
Not having rechargeable batteries is a huge selling point for me. When my battery is dead, I swap for another pack really quick instead of waiting for a charge or swapping to a whole new controller. Also, the batteries in my PS3 & PS4 controllers have permanently died and require me to take them apart and buy new batteries compared to a hot swap for Xbox.
0:39 so while you have to disassemble your PS4/PS5 controller to swap the rechargeable battery out, I’ll be sliding that cover off and installing a new battery by the time you get your screwdriver out.
I've always felt like the adaptive controller is a bit over priced for what it is. $100 for the deck(i guess is what you could call it) and then who knows how much per "button". You cant find them anywhere anymore. Lowest i found was another $100 on sites that are sold out. So now someone who doesnt have the motor skills is already hindered and has to pay at least double the price if they can even get all the button accessories.
@@user-neo71665 obviously you have to throw it way when it's dead wdym? And i also can't afford a new controller every month, that's why xbox is better😎
@nathanlehrer5508 ever heard of games like msfs or gta online? You don't simply finish those games. And the two alone would fill up a normal hard drive.
I use the Razer Turret for my home theater on PC, and it’s fantastic!! Love that you used it here and gave your honest review lmfaoo also it has a magnetic spot for the mouse to sit in the top right it’s strong asf on mine, holds the mouse in place for storage or moving around.
Gutted you could test out the adaptive controller but you also missed its big use case which is being an accessible controller for people with limited mobility! It’s a great piece of kit
I don’t understand all the hate for removable batteries. I appreciate it. With as much as I play, normally rechargeable batteries would have gone bad and need to be replaced.
I actually bought two third party rechargeable lithium-ion batteries for my Series X controllers. The batteries last a long time before they need a recharge, and it's convenient that they recharge directly from the console than from a separate power unit.
The best part about the Xbox controller is we don't have to throw it away or spend tons of money when the battery inside goes dead all we have to do is go buy more batteries you can even better rechargeable once
Hey Austin, are you going to the vintage computer festival, it’s is going to be in the city of Orange in Orange County VCF So Cal it would probably be some awesome content seeing vintage computers and they will also have some for sale. I don’t know how much you like vintage stuff but you’ll never know what you’ll find.
They have clarified stating its just certain software, its not them getting out of the gaming space or even out of console space, just allowing games to be on other platforms, and even that will be limited. Completely different than something like Sega did
I’ve had the 12tb hdd for years now And love it I had it for my original Xbox one also I love headset to have that and you can listen to your phone and Xbox at the same time both connected at same time you can play your music on your phone or be on a call it also turns on your Xbox one turning on the headset
Everyone always complains about having to buy rechargeable battery packs for Xbox controllers but fail to mention that PlayStation controllers from every generation suffer from terrible battery degradation. Id rather buy a rechargeable battery pack every couple years than a controller every 6 months to a year. I know someone will say "jUsT rEpLaCe ThE iNtErNaL bAtTeRy!" no. People don't want to have to do that. Only thing I like about the PS5 controller is the adaptive triggers.
microsoft making the rechargable battery a pack makes it easy to replace, thing about how many playstation controllers that has a dead battery and you have to open up the whole controller
I would love to see a vid on the ultimate Xbox series s traveling system set up. I use one while traveling to other states for work and store it all in a pelican case with a traveling monitor (ROG xg16ahpe), but would love to see how you set one up.
The Xbox controller does support AA for both 21700 and 18650 type battery.. both has bigger capacity than most built in controller battery.. plus they can be rechargeable..
Hey Austin, guess what: All the rechargeable batteries on my PS3-controllers are broken. And the removable ones on my Xbox controllers can be exchanged for AA or a new one without opening and potentially destroying the controller. That is repair friendly. I know, strange words for an Apple user. But you may be shocked that things can be repaired instead of thrown away. But we have to give some credit to Sony. They really went all out on the obsolesence aspect with the PS5. Instead of designing a console with proper cooling they made one with a whimpy heatsink and some liquid metal, which is guranteed to die the heat death after a few years. In this regard, no one will worry about a dying battery in a dualsense, when the console has been burned to death years before. Well done Sony, the environment thanks you for all that extra ewaste.
4:27 that's because it shows the amount of storage in tibibytes but shows the terrabyte symbol, 1 tibibyte = 1024 gigabytes/1.024 terrabytes, i heard this in a video talking about why the amount of storage you get shown isn't the same as the amount of storage that gets advertized.
They sell those 10ft USB C-C cables at my grocery store. I buy one randomly sometimes, just in case. I have probably 10 of them in use in various places around the house. They're even good enough to tether VR headsets. Honestly the most useful things I've ever gotten at that store besides, ya know... food.
much prefer having AA batteries in my controller rather than rechargable, then I can swap them out when they run out without having to be tethered with a cable or waiting hours to charge,
I did something similar after a decade break from gaming only to come back and not one game is finished, everything worth having is behind a pay wall and it's no longer worth the time money or enjoyable anymore 😂 If you can avoid the FOMO you can get games for their real price when they go on sale at 85% too

Exactly, the hard drive thing is a dumb argument too. I can't fill the one on the X as is. Sounds like someone who doesn't finish games.
@nathanlehrer5508 ever heard of games like msfs or gta online? You don't simply finish those games. And the two alone would fill up a normal hard drive.
THE MAN THE LEGEND HITS WHEN I NEEDED IT!❤❤❤❤❤
I just need good exclusive games and we are good to go
Just a heads up you can use most mouse and keyboards on the series x and s as long as it’s designed for windows you should be good
sometimes you don't know if he's actually advertising stuff or just straight up mocking them :)
I use the Razer Turret for my home theater on PC, and it’s fantastic!! Love that you used it here and gave your honest review lmfaoo also it has a magnetic spot for the mouse to sit in the top right it’s strong asf on mine, holds the mouse in place for storage or moving around.
I still feel like removeable batteries are far better than rechargeable. You don't have to worry about a controller that explodes over time.
I agree and you can swap the rechargeble batterys if it goes bad ,on playstastion you have to buy a new controller
Agreed
@@Fantomzip No you don't just open up the controller and replace the battery which easier than you would imagine.
@@Fantomzip Its easy to swap battery on ps3 controller, but i haven't opened ps4's yet :D
Gutted you could test out the adaptive controller but you also missed its big use case which is being an accessible controller for people with limited mobility! It’s a great piece of kit
I was gonna ask do an Ultimate PS5 but he already done it. Guess he beat me to the punch.
This is definitely my favorite wrestlemania of all time
bros js here to yap abt how play station is so much better
I don’t understand all the hate for removable batteries. I appreciate it. With as much as I play, normally rechargeable batteries would have gone bad and need to be replaced.
Yep a charge and play kit. That if your battery starts to loose charge you can buy another one without breaking it open
I actually bought two third party rechargeable lithium-ion batteries for my Series X controllers. The batteries last a long time before they need a recharge, and it's convenient that they recharge directly from the console than from a separate power unit.
The best part about the Xbox controller is we don't have to throw it away or spend tons of money when the battery inside goes dead all we have to do is go buy more batteries you can even better rechargeable once
Been watching since 2017, these vids make me happy
Third, Just like Xbox's ranking in modern consoles
and so? most selled = better?
Have you looked at the reload bonuses They seem perfect for keeping the game going after the initial play
I'm disappointed in you Austin. Easily removable and replaceable batteries are the more consumer friendly option and should be praised not ridiculed.
Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.
"Hii guys, this is Austin"
You beat me to it😂
Hey Austin, are you going to the vintage computer festival, it’s is going to be in the city of Orange in Orange County VCF So Cal it would probably be some awesome content seeing vintage computers and they will also have some for sale. I don’t know how much you like vintage stuff but you’ll never know what you’ll find.
I’ll check it out, thanks for heads up
Stop, just hating and be nice
@@BogeyTrogsno ones laughing man 💀
Wrd 🗣️🔥@@BogeyTrogs
@@BogeyTrogsWow you’re so fun i bet everyone loves you!!
Do you all play on Xbox or Playstation
I play both and like xbox more
Perfect timing with all the xbox drama going on
The ultimate Xbox setup? isn't that just a PS5..? :)
Real
Ha ha ha 😒
bad timing of this video with xbox going third party on thursday 😂😂😂
They have clarified stating its just certain software, its not them getting out of the gaming space or even out of console space, just allowing games to be on other platforms, and even that will be limited. Completely different than something like Sega did
Haan yaar 4RA ke welcome bonus ne toh pehli baar me hi maza de diya tha, bohot badiya
14:07 Austin cringing at the price of the razer kbm for Xbox sent me 🤣🤣🤣
I’ve had the 12tb hdd for years now And love it I had it for my original Xbox one also I love headset to have that and you can listen to your phone and Xbox at the same time both connected at same time you can play your music on your phone or be on a call it also turns on your Xbox one turning on the headset
That sounds like a good plan. I spread my bonus across a few casino games, tried a bit of roulette and blackjack
Everyone always complains about having to buy rechargeable battery packs for Xbox controllers but fail to mention that PlayStation controllers from every generation suffer from terrible battery degradation. Id rather buy a rechargeable battery pack every couple years than a controller every 6 months to a year. I know someone will say "jUsT rEpLaCe ThE iNtErNaL bAtTeRy!" no. People don't want to have to do that. Only thing I like about the PS5 controller is the adaptive triggers.
I'm thinking of using it to bet on the cricket matches. There's a big game coming up, and that extra bonus could really come in handy
3:29 "2 terabytes, what are we? Amish?"
-me laughing hysterically with a 500gb xbox one s
The AA batteries are totally superior, 2 weeks without charging, playing 2-4 hours per day
$20 for those thumb stick things is crazy. I got a generic set for about $5 and they’re nice
microsoft making the rechargable battery a pack makes it easy to replace, thing about how many playstation controllers that has a dead battery and you have to open up the whole controller
I would love to see a vid on the ultimate Xbox series s traveling system set up. I use one while traveling to other states for work and store it all in a pelican case with a traveling monitor (ROG xg16ahpe), but would love to see how you set one up.
petition for austin to make a new toaster review channel . 👇 .
The Xbox controller does support AA for both 21700 and 18650 type battery.. both has bigger capacity than most built in controller battery.. plus they can be rechargeable..
Nice video Austin :)
2:23 Austin spit so much LOL love the content tho guys
Pc: fastest 2tb ssd $140
Xbox: slow ahh 1tb ssd $150
Hey I was wondering if you were going to be able to make a Nintendo version of this video like you did for PlayStation
Rechargeable AA batteries have worked for me for years. Fast chang out, no problem.
Hey Austin, guess what: All the rechargeable batteries on my PS3-controllers are broken. And the removable ones on my Xbox controllers can be exchanged for AA or a new one without opening and potentially destroying the controller. That is repair friendly. I know, strange words for an Apple user. But you may be shocked that things can be repaired instead of thrown away.
But we have to give some credit to Sony. They really went all out on the obsolesence aspect with the PS5. Instead of designing a console with proper cooling they made one with a whimpy heatsink and some liquid metal, which is guranteed to die the heat death after a few years. In this regard, no one will worry about a dying battery in a dualsense, when the console has been burned to death years before. Well done Sony, the environment thanks you for all that extra ewaste.
4:27 that's because it shows the amount of storage in tibibytes but shows the terrabyte symbol, 1 tibibyte = 1024 gigabytes/1.024 terrabytes, i heard this in a video talking about why the amount of storage you get shown isn't the same as the amount of storage that gets advertized.
xbox having removable batteries is 100% better than it having rechargeable by default.
11:16 it’s now truly a breadbox
Absolutely, the cashback saved me last week. It’s a good feeling to get something back after a loss
You missed the premise of the turret. It's for LAP COUCH gaming 😅but yeah it is old now. Needs a refresh.
Exactly….. I have one and it’s a LOT more useful than he really makes it out to be. Using it on Windows is great.
"This code has already been redeemed." dang it lol
20:08 if you'd like the size of that the Neo pocket S is way more powerful.
They sell those 10ft USB C-C cables at my grocery store. I buy one randomly sometimes, just in case.
I have probably 10 of them in use in various places around the house. They're even good enough to tether VR headsets.
Honestly the most useful things I've ever gotten at that store besides, ya know... food.
It has 8TB SSD bro??
I've had the xbox wireless headset for 3 years and it still works today
honestly love my xbox
much prefer having AA batteries in my controller rather than rechargable, then I can swap them out when they run out without having to be tethered with a cable or waiting hours to charge,
I did something similar after a decade break from gaming only to come back and not one game is finished, everything worth having is behind a pay wall and it's no longer worth the time money or enjoyable anymore 😂
If you can avoid the FOMO you can get games for their real price when they go on sale at 85% too
@AustinEvans I went on whatnot to see your livestream. I ended up finding bullion streams after yours ended and now im addicted to buying metals. How often do you guys stream on whatnot?
Now I can play 0 games for $3000
The fact that the toaster is larger than the series s 💀
The PS3 did have a rechargeable battery, but how many of those still have the oem battery in them nowadays.
love the content keep it up , i hope to build my first pc if i can get the money who knows but i know where i am ganna go to leanr how to build it you guys are the best keep it up its been great to see yall grow as a channle and familey much love !!!!
"Companys force us to buy new stuff because we can't switch the batteries"
Xbox offer replacement batteries -> iTs So 2006!1!
You keep talking about the Xbox rechargeable battery you have to put in but it literally last six times as long as a PlayStation 5 duel sets😂
austin tweaking forza 5 and cod mw3 don’t even take up half of my 1tb series x. they’re large games but they don’t take up the entire storage. plus i can make cod even smaller if i manage and delete items i don’t play. gmfu this is more an issue for the 500gb consoles
Austin should know the small SSD Is hot swappable and can use quick resume like the Xbox can
