The xbox 360 play and charge kit allows you to recharge your wireless xbox 360 joypad whilst you play. It simply plugs into the socket on top of your xbox 360 control pad and into the usb port at the front of your console. The kit contains the usb cable and an NiMH rechargeable battery pack.

It has around 30 hours of play time per charge (enough for well over a week of extended playing!), with each charge taking a few hours to be fully topped up, and you won't mind waiting those few hours as you'll be playing your game anyway!

Its definately a handy little device as it saves you having to buy disposable batteries (that the xbox 360 wireless control pad uses as standard) every soon often, thus eliminating any "control pad running out of power" potential gaming disasters that we all fear when anyone mentions "wireless control pads". You can even check how much juice you have left in your battery pack through the fuel gauge on the xbox 360 dashboard, if your so inclined.

Its pretty easy to stow away once your pack is charged and the cable is pretty long, enough to let you stay wherever you would normally be playing wirelessly, unless you like to play your xbox 360 in the next room (try it for an added challenge sometime!)

The only criticism I would have with this kit, is that it should have come with the console anyway, perhaps instead of the xbox 360 live headsead, but thats no real criticism of the product itself and more to Microsoft's marketing ideas.

I have one and have always found it handy, its a nice price and will save you money (and trips to the nearest shop to buy batterys, mid boss battle) in the long run!

Ive got the seperate one. You know that one where you get a the battery pack with it and a little stand thingy and you plug it into the wall. I think its better because you have a spare battery to be on charge whilst you're using the other and then you can still go for a wee with your wireless pad whilst talking to your mates! WEY HEY!!! Great review though again!
