What our customer's say!

"Must have accessory for your XBOX 360.", When I got my Xbox 360 Elite I immediately bought another controller for friends that might come over and I wanted to make things easier with having rechargeable batteries in my controllers. It seemed to be a waste of batteries to continuously change and throw out batteries.

This kit is perfect. It served my needs exactly. Batteries last a reasonably long time, although charging does take awhile (Keep in mind that is mostly the case because you usually are playing while charging). The charging cord is excessively long as well.

If you are tired of dealing with regular batteries and would like a more efficient way of powering your controllers, this is the best thing you could get.

"Great Product, few problems", This is a great product. There are many pros and few cons.

Pros - It replaces your batteries, you don't need to buy them anymore
Play AND Charge - it allows you to charge while you play which allows you to charge faster.
Simple - it is really simple to use, just plug it in to the controller and then to the console.

Cons - Sometimes it is difficult to remove the plug from the controller
The batter will slowly lose its charge over time which means you will either not be able to charge it or it will lose its charge very quickly. It is really easy to replace and it isn't a hassle and it definately is less expensive to use disposable batteries.

Overall - 4 stars - simple to use, very reliable, and overall a better value then disposable batteries

"Unreliable, then unusable", I bought this kit along with a black wireless controller when Amazon had the bundle as a gold box deal a few months ago. It worked fine for a couple of weeks, then I started to notice that the battery was lasting shorter and shorter periods of playtime. Now it doesn't hold a charge at all. I plug it in and the light glows red for a second, then goes green. Unplug and the controller is dead.

Luckily it came with a standard battery pack and I now have rechargeable AA batteries and a charger, so I will just go that route and see if it works a little better. As a note, I also bought a white play/charge kit about 6 months before the black one, and it still works fine as of now. Guess it's luck of the draw on these, which is disappointing.

"convenience in my hands at last!", i've been using batteries for a while now and i'm sick of it. not having batteries when you are playing something is the worst thing that can happen to you on an xbox 360. these work fine, although you have to charge and use them a few times before they can retain their full charge (as expected by rechargeable batteries). and what's even better is you can play while its charging the batteries thanks to the cable. if you play an average or above average amount of xbox 360 i'd highly recommend this product. i bought two of them for both my controllers.

"It Works.", As simple as it is. It charges the battery, it works. I haven't had any problems with it. The cable is very long, so you won't have to move from that sweet spot on the couch during game play.

"Charged and Ready For Action!", This is a must-have for any serious Xbox 360 owner. Not only will you save money on batteries and help the environment, but the convenience is undoubtedly worth it.

The battery pack fits snugly and securely into the back of the controller where the regular batteries would go. You can play for dozens of hours without needing to recharge, but when your controller is finally on its last legs you simply plug the charge side of the cord (which fits into any of the 360's USB ports) into the top slit on the controller. You're able to play while the batteries recharge, and the cord is long enough to allow you to sit a fair distance away. However, it takes such a short amount of time to fully recharge that it'll be a very brief fix! There is a light on the cord top to indicate the batteries' charge as well; red means to leave it in for a while, and green means you're good to go!

This is the black-colored version of the Play & Charge Kit. It comes with both the charging cord and the battery pack. There is a white version to match the more common white controller, but the color of the charge kit is simply for aesthetics; they're interchangeable for either controller. I have the regular white controller and am using the black version with it, though surprisingly it still looks nice with the 360 controller's white and gray theme.

Bottom line: Perfect product. 5 stars. Get it if you don't already have it.

"Straightforward", This one is pretty straightforward. Does as it was intended. It's nice to not have to replace batteries all the time. If i was smart maybe i would have just gotten normal rechargeable AA's that i could use in any product, but this is pretty convenient since the charging cable also allows me to use the controller in a wired state.

The cable is a decent length, and I really don't give a crap that the black doesn't match my white controllers, given that it was roughly four bucks cheaper at the time of purchase, for some inexplicable reason (other than maybe the general lack of black controllers which, i guess, would only come as pack-ins with the elite or purchased separately).

"Does the job well", For what its goal is, this unit does the job well. The charge doesn't last as long as I'd like (typically about 5-6 power sessions of Call of Duty 4, by my count), but the charge cord is long enough to turn the remote into wired when I don't need to sit far away.

Overall, quite a handy piece of equipment. I'd recommend this to anyone with an Xbox 360.

"Works great! Battery holds charge for over 2 days.", This is great. When the battery is low I can just plug it in to charge it. It also charges when you turn off the console until it's full, then shuts off the charging feature. This will save a lot on AA batteries!

Cable is a bit long but that could be a good thing if you want to play from far away. It would be great if there's a way to charge a battery that's not plugged into the controller using the same cable.

"Super!", Plug and play is great! It allows you to save $ on batteries and save the planet.
