My Xbox kit was not full without something to improve my controller. The fact that the controller ran on batteries was never to my liking, so my brother suggested I bought the play and charge kit, which is very useful. It is used to charge the controller, through charging a pack that simply fits into the back the same way as the ordinary battery back does. It is made for use with the wireless controller The chargeable battery pack weighs a bit more than the standard battery one, but it is well worth the buy. It will give more than 30 hours of play per charge. When you bring up the Xbox 360 dashboard, it will show at the very top to the left a gauge as to how ...  Read the complete review

What could be worse then constantly buy batteries. Well a lot of things im such, but it doesnt stop it being annoying. This has to be on of the design faults of the Xbox 360 that annoys me the most.

No no no, not anymore. I ...  Read the complete review

I have had my Xbox 360 since they were launched and this is by far the best, most useful accessory I have ever used for it. I actually have two, one for each of my main controllers. The official Microsoft wireless controller as purchased utilises two AA batteries which fit in a plastic casing which clips onto the back of the controller. Cheap batteries are incapable of powering the controller effectively so you'd need to pay out for good quality ones such as Duracell. Good quality batteries will last for approximately fifteen hours of gaming in my experience. Replacing your batteries can therefore prove very costly over a year.
