Product Review Summary: xbox 360 black play and charge kit

We enjoyed the play and charge kit because there have been no more, " Oh no, my batteries are dying incidents."

Product Review Summary: Will not work

I cannot get the thing to hold a charge at all. I have left this plugged into the xbox forever and as soon as I unplug it, the controller dies. I give up and will continue to just use real batteries.

Product Review Summary: Very handy to have.

The Play & Charge kit is very useful for both casual and "hardcore" gamers, as you can play without the battery pack connected and just attached to the cord, or with the rechargeable (even while playing) pack connected to the controller. You can in effect, use 2 controllers at once like this without running through AA batteries, and the charge cord is long enough to allow good movement and distance from the Xbox 360.

Also if the controller is plugged in, it won't shut off even when idle, so if you're watching a video, you don't have to turn on the controller to rewind, pause, or otherwise control your video.

The cost is very reasonable, especially considering the cost you save in batteries after just a few charges. The pack life seems only slightly shorter than a full charged alkaline battery to full-dead and is definitely adequate. NiMH batteries have, in my experience, excellent charge capacity and are typically very forgiving about developing a memory. Definitely recommend purchasing, great for charging as you play.

I do recommend unplugging the cord when you power off the Xbox 360, as sometimes the fans will continue to run, and doesn't appear to be charging the batteries while off.

Product Review Summary: Working perfectly and still looks new after a year.

I bought this for my husband over a year ago. It is a great quality item and still looks as though it were new. We havem't had any problems with it. It's a fraction the cost of others in the stores. Great buy!~

Product Review Summary: Necessary

Necessary. Not great, not bad. Advice: Only use them when you're battery is low and your xbox is on. Do not leave them plugged to your controller after it the xbox is off. Using frequently will shorten your battery life. Letting your battery completely die will also shorten the life. SO use accordingly.
