Xbox 360 Play & Charge kit February 3, 2010 L. Freese (USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is worth the price you pay here at Amazon.
The length you get out of the battery will vary from person to person and how they use it, how often etc etc.
I would like to comment on some other things that you may find helpful in your decision to purchase this.
I have seen the batteries alone selling for roughly [...] so really this price here is a fair deal.
If your wondering how long the cord is, it is about 111 inches just a slight bit over 9 feet long from end to end.
You can have it plugged in while using the controller.
One thing to keep in mind is to not connect the charge cable if the battery pack is not installed first. You need to have the chargeable pack installed first or the Double A pack installed. If you don't you can damage your controller!
A few other notes to consider:
The charge time can take as long as 6 hours.
If you have not used the battery for 2-3 months it may take up to 3-5 full charges before the battery will reach its full potential again.
Happy Gaming!
Great but be sure to unplug the plug and play January 27, 2010 Kenneth R. Thurman Jr. (Woodbridge, VA USA) Overall I thought this was a great product. I'd give it 4.5 out of 5 if able to.
The battery packs lasts a very long time new out of the box and will potentially have less and less charge times as the unit gets older.
The one downside to this product is that when the usb is plugged into the console regardless of whether your controller is plugged into the plug and play, the xbox 360 thinks it is plugged in and therefore "charges". This creates a steady hum from the xbox 360 unit fan (even when the xbox 360 is off) and is only avoidable if you unplug the usb from the xbox 360 (which can become a pain).
This however I would recommend to get, but if you're conscious about getting the most out of your xbox 360, I'd recommend unplugging the USB when not using the plug and play.
Works well, but is a bit slow January 24, 2010 Brian T. Baer (Long Island, NY USA) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I don't use this to play the games. My controllers are wireless, and I use this just to recharge the battery pack when I'm not playing. Positives: It does what it's supposed to, which is charge. But I don't know how well it works in terms of having it connected while playing, as a wired controller, because I don't use it for that. Good thing is if you start charging and turn off your xbox, it will still keep charging. Negatives: Takes a while to charge.
Never run out of juice! January 24, 2010 Grimble Crumble 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Purchased it so I don't have to buy batteries all the time, great price. Only thing different is the weight of the controller but you get used to it!
Was fun while it lasted... January 15, 2010 B. Davis (USA) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I've four of these sets since owning my 360, and after several months 3 of the 4 no longer hold a charge. Google this problem and you'll find plenty of other people in the same boat.
My advice is to buy some Sanyo Eneloop rechargeable batteries. They're one of the top brands, last long, and best of all you can use them for more than just your xbox controllers.
