Firstly there is not much to say about an item like this. It is what it is, so please remember this when rating the review or leaving a comment ; )
The wireless controllers come with the xbox 360 premium console pack. They are great and the fact that there are no wires means no more tangled wires AND best of all no chance of the leads breaking like so many other contollers i owned or the standard XBOX.
The controllers are light and have a good signal compared to other wireless controllers previously produced for XBOX and Playstation, these old wireless controllers tend to have a weak signal even when sitting close to the console. XBOX 360 performs great though. XBOX 360 controllers good, Playstation and old XBOX bad OK?
The wireless controllers do have a downside though. With no wires they have to have there own power source built into the controller. So microsoft came up with the idea of... NUCLEAR POWER CONTROLLERS. But then they probably realised this would be to dangerous and powerful so they just settled for double "A" batterys. : )
The batterys will last for around 12 - 20 continuous hours depending on the type you use, but changing batterys almost every day gets very annoying, and expensive. If you have rechargable batterys you will save money instead of always throwing batterys way but why wait for batterys to recharge?
Microsoft then came up with the idea of the battery pack. On a full charge it will last around 24 hours of gaming and can be on charge while in use! It will add a small amound of extra weight to the controller but not so that you would notice. This is all good! you can now have a charging pack so you no longer need to buy batterys or wait for them to charge! But wait... £20? EACH? if you have 4 controllers that amounts to £80!!! They are worth having as over time you will spend more on batterys.
Its not all bad news though. I managed to get 2 battery packs off of ebay for £6 each!!! i may have got lucky but internet shopping is cheap so i suggest looking around the internet and if none of this suits you save your self money by trading in your wireless controllers for the standard wire ones!
