The 360 wireless controller is, in all ways, a very good little package to own for the avid gamer. Even a week into owning it I was still putting it down in that complicated way we have with wired controllers, trying to avoid the wires dangling into anything. I was even bemused to find that the controller will work when not even on the same floor as the Xbox!
The only let down is in the controller\'s approach to battery life.

I think that if not for this huge letdown, which is incredibly irritating in the middle of a game, the controller would be simply fantastic. The battery life is simply superb, if it would only stop complaining when it hits the 50% mark...
By all means buy this controller if you don't mind it giving you warning signs at half charge, personally I can live with it for now, but it only begs the question, "What happens when I hit 25% charge... ?"
