bit-tech Shopping: Microsoft Wireless Controller and Play + Charge Kit - Black

Rating: 8

Time with product: 71

Strengths: No need for AA batteries, Everything in the pack

Weaknesses: Need to connect the Controller to the Console via cable to charge.

Summary: It gets quite expensive if you power the Xbox360 controllers on AA batteries. I needed an extra controller for my Xbox360 and this Controller+Rechargeable Battery+Charge Kit combo was the way to go. The only slight bit of problem is that the console has to be on to charge the controller through the charge kit.

Strengths: available in black, battery life, easy to use

Weaknesses: price

Summary: The wireless controller play and charge kit is a great accessory for every xbox 360 owner who wants a wireless solution or a secondary controller. Indicator light on the controller let you know when the battery are charged which is nice. Battery life seems to last me about 20+ hours per charge. Also includes AA's for some strange reason since you can charge while playing. I havent had any issues with the wireless controller, im buying another one to replace my wired one.

Strengths: All-in-one wireless accessory kit. Battery included! Easy to use.

Weaknesses: None!

Summary: I bought this black wireless Xbox 360 accessory kit to go with my Xbox 360 Elite and it is awesome. The wireless controller comes with a battery and the recharger connector. Great all-in-one kit! I use the one charger cord to charge all of my controller batteries. No more need to dig through that junk drawer to scrounge up 2 AA batteries!

Strengths: Never stop playing, even works from the bathroom

Weaknesses: NONE

Summary: If you dont have this you better own stock in Energizer. These things can run through batteries fast. This keeps you charged all the time. Also you will need another remote if you want your friends to be able to join in when they come over and this package has it. This is a must.

Strengths: Wireless freedom, usually cheaper than the two products separately

Weaknesses: Effectively becomes a wired controller while recharging

Summary: I needed another controller for my black 360, and I thought another play-and-charge kit would be nice, so I went ahead and got this package. Now I have the ability to charge two controllers at once, and the best part is that I paid less than I would have had I just gotten a controller and then picked up a play-and-charge kit later. The only gripe I have is that, if I'm in the middle of a game and the rotating light ring notifies me of a low battery, I have to tether myself to the console for a while. If only we could recharge wirelessly... (But then, what's the point of a battery? Just send power directly to the controller.)
