The play and charge kit allows you to replace the battery pack in your wireless controller with this rechargeable pack, and so there is no longer any need to keep buying batteries. It is very simple to use, just replace the battery pack with the rechargeable one and plug one end of the cable into the controller and the other into your Xbox 360.

This will charge up your controller as you carry on playing, and so never again will you have to stop your gaming as you search high and low for those elusive batteries around the house (eventually taking the batteries out of the TV remote).

At around £10-£15 for the cable and charge pack it is a fairly decent price for something that will save quite a bit of money on batteries in the future. It also charges fairly quickly and so you can remove the cable and have your wireless controller wireless again in no time.

The only thing I have found so far is that the cable is quite short compared to the wired controller that came with my Xbox anyway. This seems like a bit of a restriction at first if you are used to the wireless controller and playing at a fair distance. However, the charge is quick enough for this not really to become much of a problem at all.

I would recommend this to any Xbox 360 owner who regularly uses their wireless controller. A must buy.
