A superb controller!
Advantages: great wireless technology Disadvantages: quite expensive

Wireless: I remember when i had my PS2 and PS1 and had all those wires dragged across the room and getting all twisted within each other - then my mum would always complain about them being left everywhere and wire becoming a hazard. Now that is no longer a problem with the new xbox controllers coming completely wireless. I can now sit where I want in my room and not have to worry about the wire getting caught or stretching across to my desk with the controller in my hand and suddenly being jerked back by those annoying wires. The wireless system involves 2.4Ghz technology (not too sure what that means but it works very well) and a 30 foot range. So you can now walk out of the room with the controller in your hand and have absolutely no problems. The fact that it is wireless does mean it requires batteries which fit onto a pack on the back - two AA batteries, but if you don't want to keep buying and changing batteries you can buy rechargeable batteries, which is what I currently own and recharge buy connecting the controller to the xbox through the USB.
Look and feel: This controller looks quite cool and is generally white to look the same as the console itself. Of course there are several other versions of the controller including a blue and pink version as well as several different special edition versions such as the Halo Spartan version which I own and find to be awesome. The controller of course has all the normal buttons being A, B, X, Y, the two analog sticks, the d-pad and the shoulder and trigger buttons. I find this controller not only quite smart to look at but also the best controller i have ever held. It is curved in every place and fits perfectly into the hand with the trigger buttons perfectly fitted for ease of use. Some people say that it looks quite bulky but I do not find this at all and it seems great to hold, even with the battery pack on the back not causing any discomfort or problems. There is also a headset port on the button so you can plug in your headset and begin talking to your friends on xbox live.
X-box Guide button: The guide button is that big one on the front that is a circle with an x on (ie the xbox logo). This button is the most important button on the controller. It has to be pressed in order to turn the controller on and it will light up on the specific spot to indicate which player you are (1, 2, 3 or 4) for example for player one the top left quarter will light up. You can also have up to four players playing using wireless controllers at the same time. To actually connect the controller to the xbox is simple as you press the connect button on both the controller and the xbox and the controller will flash all lights and then become connected. The button can also be used to bring up a mini dashboard menu on the screen where you can locate your personal settings as well as your gamer card, friends lists and messages, etc. The button can also be used to turn off the controller and the console. y holding the button down an option will appear on screen to either turn off the controller or the controller and console.
Other features of this controller include the ability to change the vibration in order to conserve battery life. Of course the battery life for the controller will mainly depend upon the batteries you have used - but in general the controller can last for hours on end with a good set of batteries. Price:
The wireless controller costs £30 from play.com A wired controller costs £18, but it is certainly worth spending that bit more for so much more freedom and no wires! Summary:
* 2.4GHz wireless technology with 30-foot range * Use up to four controllers simultaneously on one console * Integrated headset port for Xbox LIVE play * Adjustable vibration feedback for longer battery life * New left and right shoulder buttons are designed for ease of use * Use the Xbox 360 Guide button to keep track of your friends, access your games and media, or power on and off your Xbox 360 console
Forget wires this is the new way of gaming! Thanks for reading!

You can get it for £29.99 with free delivery from play.com or you could get it from Game if you have a reward card for the same price. Alternatively ...

Advantages: No more cables, easy to set up and a joy to use Disadvantages: A lot of additional costs
...look of the console itself Microsoft have gone in for a redesign of the original XBox controller. Like the console itself the first thing that you notice about the controller is the switch from the black colouring of the old XBox controller to the pure white of the 360's. Of course while this new colouring makes them look quite sleek it is a colour that shows the slightest specks of dust and dirt. The other obvious change is in the weight of the ... ...in some rechargeable or the Microsoft plug and play rechargeable battery pack (£14.99). I still think with the cost of the console and the controllers that Microsoft could throw these in but then that would reduce the amount of additional revenue they can make.

...download the drivers off the Microsoft site and you can use it in many games, most Games For Windows support this controller straight away even changing the button names in the game so for example it will say "press A to continue" instead of "press enter".

This issue remains on all variations of the 360 controller.

There is no difference apart from the packaging so I fail to understand why they did this. It is also wired so if your always getting ...

Introduction
I needed an extra controller for my Xbox360 console; there are many official and unofficial controllers to choose from. After shopping around for one I came across a limited edition Halo 3 controller. Being a fan of the trilogy I decided to buy one, I chose the Spartan edition as opposed to the Covenant one, but it was a hard choice.
Details
The actual design has a blue/purple background; the halo ring surrounds the centre button. And it has master chief on the left hand side if the gamepad, and a warthog with a driver, gunner, and passenger on the right hand side. It is plain black on the underside. This controller was the same price as a standard plain white one, which I felt was a bonus; I was expecting it to be more expensive. It is exactly the same size, shape, weight, as any other official gamepad, with exactly ...
This controller performs no differently to any other of the xbox360wirelesscontrollers. The only difference is the fact that it has a limited edition halo 3 look to it. If anything, my personal controller performs slightly worse than any other of the controllers. I will go into detail later in the review.
*****Appearance*****
The controller sports a very stylish bright blue design. On the left hand side there is the face of what looks to me like one of the Prophets, who feature in the Halo 2 and Halo 3 plots. The prophets are one of the integral characters in the game, as well as important members of the covenant invasion force of Earth. The right hand side of the controller features a Wraith. The heavy armour tanks used by the Covanent forces. This image goes well with the bright blue base colour, as it is slightly darker ...
Advantages: Great design - a cool looking controller Disadvantages: Quite expensive
aiming a machine gun. This looks quite nice to stick on top of your television.
This controller costs £34.99 from most retailers and is certainly worth the extra £3 more than a normal wirelesscontroller for a cool design and a nice little figurine.
This is just a great purchase for any Halo fan or just any xbox360 user!
