A second disadvantage is the fact that most of the additional controller addons cost money, e.g the headset and messenger keypad, which sadly weren’t included in the original package, but oh well you cant have everything and for what you get it’s already an amazing ...

...It's not very often that Microsoft make somethings that's both stylish and stable but they definitely have here. The feel of the controller is also very comfortable i would say it's a one size fits all type. === Specifications === (Taken from Microsoft) * 2.4GHz wireless technology with 30-foot range * Lag-free play * Integrated headset port for Xbox LIVE play * Adjustable vibration feedback for longer battery life * New left and right shoulder ...
...* The Xbox Guide Button at the centre of the controller gives you quick access to all your favourite Xbox 360 system activities === The cost? === I would say the average price of a wireless controller now would be around the £30 mark and looking around from the main retails websites that seems to be the truth. 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 ...

...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. Once the batteries are in and ready to go you hit the Menu button in the middle of the controller and it all comes to live. A lot of wireless controllers made by third parties to work with ...

The pad is also marketed in two ways which is confusing and unnecessary, firstly as the Xbox 360 Wired Controller and as the Common 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 ...

Review of Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Controller - game pad

From a young age I have been a fan of games consoles and have basically therefore played games using a lot of different controllers. My first console was a Sega mega drive closely followed by a SNES which meant pretty basic controller set up. I then played on the likes of a N64 where the controller was somewhat different than the others I had played on considering its was somewhat like a fork head with three spikes. Of course I've played with the ...
...I thought was a great fit for gaming. When the Xbox (original) first came out I had a quick go using the controller and it was big, bulky and very off putting hence why I didn't buy an Xbox due to the fact I thought the controller would let me down while gaming. Therefore when the Xbox 360 first came out I had to make sure the controllers were improved since the original Xbox. First impressions of a controller often allow me to judge whether I should ...

...I don't quite understand why Microsoft released a wireless headset for the 360, as you are unlikely to be using the headset alone. The batteries that were supplied lasted for a couple of weeks of gaming, I would think maybe 20 to 25 hours of gaming. I think I will be getting stocked up on rechargeable batteries, or buy the play and charge kit, which I have seen for sale for about 15 quid. This has a battery pack, and a charging cable that plugs ...
...would normally plug into. For a few quid more, you can buy the quick charge kit, which is a standalone charger for the battery packs. I couldn't find anything in the manual for the controller, but when the batteries are running low, the ring of light on the controller flashes alternate lights to tell you to change soon. One thing that seems to have been omitted from some other reviews is that this controller has the built-in rumble pack, which gives ...

...20 years ago. Microsoft on their second console after the black monster of the original Xbox, released their take on the wireless controls, which were more “wireless enabled” than solely wireless (the Wiimote for example seems so far to be Wireless only). Their control could be played with wires, or unplugged and played across the room at the players discretion (on the condition the player had some batteries or a battery pack). It was essentially ...
...had originally been slammed for being too big and chunky, the Xbox S controller had made the controls smaller and it's this design that the wireless 360 controls look to be based around. With 4 shoulder buttons, 4 action buttons (a,b,x,y), 2 analogue sticks, a D pad, a start button, a back button and a dashboard button that control was familiar but better. It took the best parts of the PS2 control and the best parts of the original Xbox control ...

Review of Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Controller - game pad

The Microsoft Xbox 360 controller is a next generation version of Microsoft's Controller S for the original Xbox. At first glance there is little difference between the two controllers - one is white and one is not. But the differences are far bigger than this. The biggest change has to be how comfortable the controller is. I was never a huge fan of the S-controller and often used the original controller instead, which is considered by most to be ...
...been well thought out by Microsoft and not only is the controller comfortable to hold but every button is in an easy to reach position. The black and white buttons have been replaced by new shoulder buttons on the left and right above the triggers. I was slightly sceptical of this at first as I had always liked the previous buttons, but now I have been converted as these are far easier to use. The triggers have also been made slightly smaller to ...

...due to this, but fortunately Microsoft had gamers like myself in mind when they designed their latest pad. I've accidentally dropped the controller or purposely slammed it down with frustration an embarrassing amount of times, and the controller never fails to work. The thing is an absolute rock! Only one or two marks exist on the controllers plastic design, which is an amazing feat when you consider how many times the controller has been dropped. ...
...the long run. SUMMARY: Microsoft has produced a fantastic controller to complement a fantastic games console. The controller is aesthetically pleasing and rests naturally in your grip. The button layout will make learning game controls a breeze, and the short fused gamers among us can sleep well after learning the controller has an incredible durability level. You might have to buy a charger kit for batteries if you decide to go with the wireless ...

...the best from the three. Microsoft changed it's design slightly and went with the completely opposite colour...WHITE. And it's brilliant. APPEARANCE: At first look, the Xbox 360 controller looks like a space age rocket about to blast off into space, searching for the stars. This futuristic design compliments the Xbox 360 console 100%.

The main feature on the controller is the green X centered within a silver circle, which has been placed in the middle of the controller. I will explain the function of this button within the FUNCTIONS section. From the three next-gen controllers, the ...

This controller is the controller is the official wireless controller for the Xbox 360 regardless of the type of console (arcade, 20gb, 60gb or elite.) No more wires! A great feature of this controller is that it is wireless so you can say goodbye to falling over wires and getting them all tangled up. This used to always happen to my PS2 and it took ages to untangle them. Another great thing about the controller being wireless is that I can play ...
...The maximum range of the controller is 30 feet. The only downside of the fact it is wireless is that it uses batteries which go in the back of the controller but to solve this you can buy rechargeable batteries e.t.c Look and Feel The controller looks great and fits the sleek design of the console. You can buy the controller in different colour and designs but I have just a plain white one which is fine. The controller has the main buttons A,B,X,Y ...
