It's Friday! What are you guys playing this weekend? First, you should be listening to Episode 2 of Weekend Confirmed. Then, play what you will!

Personally, I'll be playing more StarCraft II beta, of course. After that, I think some Just Cause 2 is in order followed by some more Super Street Fighter IV!

Does anyone else have any problems with their 360 controller rechargeable battery packs not holding a charge? I bought one for my pink controller and i swear, this thing will only last like 15-20 minutes. Like, what's the point of buying a rechargeable battery pack if I'm going to always be playing with the play and charge cable hooked up? :(

  Ours ran out rather quickly. But the rechargable double AA's seem to hold better.
