Wheely Wheely Good!!

Advantages: Realistic, Responsive, There really are too many to list!
Disadvantages: Too expensive for everybody to own

I bought the official microsoft xbox 360 wireless steering wheel after much research on the internet, i have been playing games consoles for many years and my expiriences with steering wheels for them was generally poor. But after much deliberation i decided to take the plunge and shell out 75 of my hard earned pounds to try and enhance my gaming expirience. From the box...... From the moment you lay your eyes on the product on the selving at your ...
...tear. I own several official microsoft xbox360 products and they are always nothing short of excellent, this wheel appears to be no exception. Features...... The wheel does not provide much in the way of extra features, however it does provide many features that are already included on a standard controller. The wheel includes the ring of light, this allows theplayer to see what player they are and also diagnose problems by the sequences that it ...

Xbox Live - It's another world

Advantages: Superb experience
Disadvantages: Its not free

...have to be authorised by Microsoft so you know you are buying a genuine code. Enter this code via the Xbox dashboard and instantly you are upgraded to Gold and can now begin exploring all the extra features. Online play The reason probably 99% of people buy the Xbox Live Gold membership is so that they can play online games. This adds another dimension to gaming as no longer do you just have to beat artificially controlled opponents, you can ...
...beat you very easily. Microsoft use a technology called TrueSkill that attempted to pair you with players of a similar ability when playing games. The scope of TrueSkill is configurable so if you really want to take on the best, you can tell your current game to pair you with someone of any skill level. If, like me, you want to play it safe, you can tell the game to only pair you with people of the same skill level. There are various points between ...

Review of Microsoft Official Xbox 360 - Xbox Live Gold Membership Card

Play and charge, good when it works

Advantages: Brilliant easy to use
Disadvantages: unreliable

I have now bought two of these one of the Xbox versions and a cheaper version. The idea behind this is that the Xbox controller comes with a pack that fits two double A batteries but these are a bit of a waste of time because they run out of power so quickly. When you buy this play and charge kit it has a power lead and a rechargeable battery. The idea is that you connect the power lead to the Xbox by a USB connection and the other end is attached ...
...The Xbox version is definitely a better quality than the other brands but I have had problems with the one I bought. It only charges sporadically and I keep running out of charge. Very annoying! I won't criticise it to much because I bought it at Gamestation, it was pre owned. Unfortunately I didn't keep the receipt so I couldn't return it. The idea is handy and when it is charged up you can disconnect and run it wirelessly, which is a bit more convenient. ...

Review of Microsoft Microsoft Xbox 360 Play and Charge Kit - Battery and charger NiMH

Microsoft XBOX 360 wireless headset

Advantages: Great looks, handy charge cable included
Disadvantages: Not great sound quality, no play and charge facility

The microsoft xbox 360 wirless headset is very attractive and fits the ear very well - at least it fits mine anyway. The headset isnt particularly good at picking up quiet speech though, which is often a let down during games that require alot of detailed communication for tactics such as Gears Of War 2 or Call Of Duty WAW. The headset is priced at £34.99 RRP, which i think is quite reasonable for what you're getting. The headset comes with full ...
...USB point. It cannot be used in a play-and-charge situation which gets annoying so you have to leave it overnight to charge. It is mcuh less cumbersom that the various wired headsets on the market and has a good range using the 360's infra red technology system. There is a small silver button on the side used to turn the headset on and off, one inside the mouthpiece which is used to syncronise it to your console, and also has 2 handy volume buttons ...

Review of Microsoft Official Xbox 360 Wireless Headset

360 Rechargeable Battery

Advantages: battery life
Disadvantages: cost

Here it is, the solution to the hassle of constantly swapping out batteries from the xbox 360 controller's battery pack. This product will definitely save you money as you'll be spending much less on AA batteries especially if you play your 360 a lot. This battery pack however is absolutely useless without the recharging chord or recharging dock. The rechargeable battery pack is very convenient but if you're playing with the controller while it's ...
...hours which is not necessarily a bad thing. Also I feel the price for this product is a little steep but I guess it does save you money in the long run. The batteries do last for a long time and I rarely recharge my batteries. This product is a must buy for hardcore 360 owners but for the casual gamer who only plays every once in a while could spend his/her money on something else ...
