Xbox 360 Black Play & Charge Kit

This product is very cool. If you've ever been playing any multi-player games online you know how frustrating it is for the cheapo batteries to give up on you in the middle of a fragfest. Now when I see those flashing lights on my controller I just plug-in the cord and play. Plus if your like me and hate changing batteries on anything this is a must have. This will definitly pay for it's self whether you're a casual gamer or a hardcore gamer. Highly Recommended.

Having been a bit behind on my accessories, I picked this play n charge pack up yesterday. As soon as I hooked it up to me XBox 360, and plugged it into my controller I knew I bought a great item.

I was able to play my games while the controller was charging and could see the charge taking place from my dashboard screen which shows the battery icon filling up.

The best thing about this charger is the length of the cord. In my setup, I have to sit approximately six feet away from my television, and this cord reached with no issue, as opposed to my PS3 which only stretches about two feet.

I recommend this to any XBox user, as it will save you from the frustration of running out on batteries at an inopportune time and will save you money in the long run as batteries are never cheap.

The product was shipped in a timely manner, it was exactly how it was described and works just as it should.

Very handy when the moment the battery goes low in the wireless controllers in the middle of a game.

And as always, Amazon provided the best price and shipped fairly quick.

I was having problems with my wireless controllers shutting off during games. After some troubleshooting, I found out that it was the AA batteries losing connection. When I bumped or shook the controller, it would turn off. Even the lightest tap from my ring would turn it off. My temporary solution to this was to remove the battery cover and then pull the springs up more so they would hold the batteries in tighter. This worked for a while, but now that doesn't seem to be doing the trick anymore.

My new solution was to buy the play & charge kit. Problem solved! The rechargeable battery packs don't use the AA battery springs so now I can tap and shake the controller as much as I want and it stays on. No more frustration controller disconnects for me. I'm going to buy the rechargeable batteries for all three of my controllers.

The only downside that I've seen so far is that the battery life isn't as long as two AA's. But it's really not much of a downside because it's so easy to just plug in the cable and let it charge while you play. Your Xbox will even finish charging the battery after you turn the 360 off so it'll be at full charge the next time you play. Very cool!

Overall, this is a great product and a must have for any Xbox 360 owner.
