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.
It also makes it waaay easier to replace a defective rechargeable batterypack. Whereas other controllers require to screw the thing open.
@@mariusv.8965 Time is money. I was including the simplicity when I mentioned it's affordability.
Same. Much better than having a sealed away battery.
@@greendblink182MS shoulved did that idea on this gen removable battery that is not a freaking double A lol
@@dxtremecaliberbut I think of it more as you have as remotes for your remote, your clock and other stuff, so u could just use aa.
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.
ya dont waste your money on a xbox

@@marshalltucker8202 Haha, I will take that as a compliment.

I wouldn't call like 250 bucks for next gen a waste of money. I love my series S @@vanillabare0007
For anyone curious, hard drives are measured in terabytes by manufacturers, but in tebibytes by computers. A terabyte is 1000 gigabytes while a tebibyte is 1024 gibibytes. 12 terabytes is ~10.9 tebibytes :)
It’s been like that for a while, for a tech channel you would think they know that
That's how windows does it linux actually says TiB instead of TB
It's a count of 1024 for every designation. 1KB is 1024B, MB 1024KB, GB 1024Mb, TB 1024GB and so on.
@@FangKaiWen no those are kibibyte mebibyte and gibibyte
@@elwinroyaleterms created in 1998. Well after 1024 per unit was being used. Most likely created to prevent people complaining about not getting what they paid for an cloud the issue
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.
4:15 12 000 000 000 000 B (12TB if we consider 1KB being 1000B, 1MB being 1000KB and so on, which is the standard notation for storage devices such as hard drives, memory cards and USB flash drives). The computer (or XBOX in this case), however, uses base 1024 which means that 1KB is 1024B, 1MB is 1024KB and so on, therefore 12 000 000 000 000B is approximately equal to 10.9*1024^4B which is the reason for 10.9TB showing up on the screen
Nerd. lol
hes right, and i also know that. call me a nerd, but its saved me thousands doing my home network and fixing all the tech at home as well @@KillaSin515
@@KillaSin515or your just dumb lol
soooo it's kind of a false advertising situation... I mean they DO say how much it actually stores, but they then show it in a way most people understand.
@@djvic4u Usually if you look close at the box (not many people do, granted) there will be a caveat somewhere where it says "12TB unformatted" or something similar just so that they can get away with it legally.
0:25 - I don't understand why people want built in batteries.
1. when the battery dies your controller is worthless.
2. If the battery dies when your playing a game you can't just swap out the battery quickly. Now you have to plug it in and sit on the floor next to your tv cause those short cables aren't reaching your couch.
screw built in batteries.
Buy a long cord and you can have wired controller for about an hour and then it’s wireless again for like two days
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.
@@gorilla9793i wouldnt care as much if the expansion cards werent overpriced asf
He does not care he is paid by sony.
0:39 On the bright side, the battery's easy to replace on the Xbox controller when it needs replacement - unlike the DualSense.
It’s easy to replace
Yeah I have both consoles the ps5 controller dies after 2 hours from full charge…ps5 has horrible battery life.
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
@@aftaahlife I always use my controller with the cable, low latency

4:31 . The box always says in terabytes unit. But most of our devices use tebibytes unit. 12 TB = 10.91 tebibytes
Came here to say this ❤
It's 1 to 8 tho
1 byte is 8 bits

1:15 8bitdo has left the rechargeable batteries chat
the xbox 360 rechargeable battery pack has left the chat also
He didn't make it clear enough that this is ONLY stuff sold officially from Xbox, like he did with the PS5 a few weeks ago.
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.....
An Austin video makes it a perfect sunday!
Its been a second since I've watched your channel again and got to say, I know something has changed be it format, presentation, quality has always been there, but something that just feels more grounded and the jokes are landing really good lol Love this newer version and hopefully we get to see more of this mellow-fun Austin. 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.
Would be great to see you do a proper serious deep dive into the Xbox Adaptive Controller and perhaps adaptive gaming in general 👍
well the pro of the rechargeable battery packs is that you can really easily replace them. Something you can't do on Playstation controllers.
How is that a pro 😂 PlayStation all you do is plug it to the charger 😂
What happens when the batterys stop losing charge in the dual sense controller @@Quofly
@Quofly You realize chargers break down over time? Being able to swap out the battery unit every couple years is easily a pro
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.
@@tyzilla358Ещё прикол в том, что они стоят +- одинаково, только в одном из них нет гироскопа, акселерометра, встроенного динамика, тач панели и аккумулятора, с разъемом для наушников, в начальных версиях-только потом добавили и по блютуз соединение тоже 😅 И ты покупаешь аккум потом ещё отдельно. Я уже молчу про защитников природы, сколько батареек выбрасывается потом и вопрос куда. И они тоже стоят денег.
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
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.....
Been watching since 2017, these vids make me happy
THE MAN THE LEGEND HITS WHEN I NEEDED IT!❤❤❤❤❤
This video couldn’t come at a more hilarious time
hell nah im subbing, cant miss another toaster review
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 !!!!
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.

@@tyzilla358although if you do get a switch, also get a ps4 or a ps5, cuz the switch is a horrible main console
The Xbox Offical headset is really nice! Yet I upgraded to the Steelseries Acrtica Nova Pro Wireless when it came out! Love both of them.❤
You have better headphones now. I promise.
As a side note, the toaster is pretty good value. It's only £29.99 in the UK.
I can't think of any other toaster in that price range with a timer?
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.
Keep up the work Austin.
2:23 Austin spit so much LOL love the content tho guys
Yep a charge and play kit. That if your battery starts to loose charge you can buy another one without breaking it open
9:23 ok 😂😂😂😂❤❤❤
2tb.. what are we amish? Lol that one got me.
came to comments for this :D
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.
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.
Is this satire
I'll be playing xbox exclusives on my PS5 before you get your next console generation.
@@tyzilla358don’t get so ahead of yourself your getting like 4 of then
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’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
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
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.
I have been waiting for this video for a while now.
Perfect timing with all the xbox drama going on
@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?
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.
Leave the amish outta this lol. Love the vids!!
It's 2024 and people are still complaining that xbox doesnt require you to throw away a controller when the battery is dead.
Its just an dumb reflex to other folks.
It's 2024 and you think you have to throw away a controller with a dead battery? Still looking for that left-handed screw driver?
@@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😎
Nice video Austin :)
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
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..
3:29 "2 terabytes, what are we? Amish?"
-me laughing hysterically with a 500gb xbox one s
5:15 it can also multipoint bluetooth and xbox at the same time, and then the left cuff fades between the two
I frequently have it bluetoothed to my laptop and wirelessed to Xbox to use Discord and watch stuff while playing
This is definitely my favorite wrestlemania of all time
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
imagine if there was an official wheel for ps5 and you playing in vr with that as the gt7 controller with psvr2, it would be literal driving
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.
I've had the xbox wireless headset for 3 years and it still works today
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
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
sometimes you don't know if he's actually advertising stuff or just straight up mocking them :)
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
After coating myself in vegetable oil I found my success rate skyrocketed.
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.
I have the red magic nine pro plus with the shadow blade to and it’s absolutely amazing. It blows that android thingy you have a auto store water 19 GB of RAM 512 GB SSD running the snapdragon GEN three.
Rechargeable AA batteries have worked for me for years. Fast chang out, no problem.
He should have included the Xbox VR headset... oh wait
There isnt one. But you already knew that.
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
Love all your videos!! But really hope you are getting frequent flyer miles or cash back with all these purchases on your credit card 😂

Austin and the crew should do an episode with the blind driving assist on Forza
Wow what a bad time to post this up . I would have waited until tomorrow after Phil Spencer's press event and then posted it up.
Great video 🙂
talk about it not being sus, then getting the thrustmaster
Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.
20:08 if you'd like the size of that the Neo pocket S is way more powerful.
i wished the series x had the built in storage, the expansion bay, and an additional nvme slot like the ps5. That would’ve been lit.
Austin which case do you use on your Z Flip5? I'm wondering, because Samsung is not selling them in Brazil, so I need to import from China (and pay some fees).
I'm actually using the Flipsuit case, but the silicone one is in my sights
Got the series x for Xmas. Got the rechargeable battery and some turtle beach 600 gen 2 max and happy as can be
I've had that headset for about a year now and the plastic on the mic housing break over time. It's a factory defect that Microsoft hasn't really addressed. Many other people have this issue as well.
AWESOME THANKS AWESOME AWESOME ALL VIDEOS
Just in time, before the business update.
I just need good exclusive games and we are good to go
Austin should know the small SSD Is hot swappable and can use quick resume like the Xbox can
18:14 kishi what a name
Hey I was wondering if you were going to be able to make a Nintendo version of this video like you did for PlayStation
They still sent batteries with controllers because of the deal they have with the battery company. It's a win win for Xbox.
Stop, just hating and be nice
man i used geforce now when my video card broke that was super impressive. although the one negative is certain games arent compatible
xbox having removable batteries is 100% better than it having rechargeable by default.
idm the batteries tbh they last longer then the rechargeable and i can insta swap them for a fresh set quicker i can grab a charger i aslo got 4 rechargeable batteries so they always have 2 full charge
If the ps4 controller battery goes bad, because they gets charged alot, you cant just swap it out not easily anyways, witth xxbox its easy and you have the option. Is it archaic? To some, but it makes sense when you see it that way.
0:45 thay are good and when thay hold bad charge easily swappable
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
Fun fact the razer keyboard has its own software on xbox for the razer turret
The storage manufacturers using international system of units which mean 12 tb = 12000000000000 byte. but the OS works in binary (1 kb = 1024 byte...etc). So the OS reads 12 tb as 10.9 tb (12000000000000÷1024^4)
The editor probably took the xbox codes while editing
I used to think not having the controller be rechargeable was a bad choice until I started seeing how once the battery goes on a PlayStation controller, it’s essentially a dud unless you open it up or constantly have it plugged in.
At least on Xbox, when the battery eventually dies, just buy another one and not an entirely new controller
$20 for those thumb stick things is crazy. I got a generic set for about $5 and they’re nice
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😂
That xbox headset is the best sounding headset ive ever used
I do think it's dumb that the Xbox doesn't SHIP with the rechargeable battery BUT I'm glad they kept support for AAs with an easily removable door. In a few years, stuff like the DualSense will be really hard to replace the battery as it goes to shit. With the Xbox controller, you can easily swap it for a new rechargeable down the line, temp swap in AAs while waiting for the controller to charge without having to be tethered (yeah you can play while charging but who wants to deal with the cord), alternatively buy two battery packs to hot swap, and way, way down the line when Xbox is no longer selling those batteries anymore, you won't have a brick of a controller and can just switch to AAs for good.
Excelente vídeo but u forgot the usb extencions
If your battery goes bad all you have to do is swap out the pack cuz I've had PS3 controllers where the battery didn't hold the charge that long
