xbox 360 controller

Advantages: has a great feel to it
Disadvantages: relatively easy to break.

...as far as consoles go, this is my favourite controler i have ever used. the weight of the controller is just right, its not too lite, like the PS3 controls. some people are put of by the possitioning of the thumb sticks, but as soon as you pick the controller up your fingers just fall into place. there are a few problems, if you dont own a play and charge kit youll probably spend a small fortune on batteries. it eats them up liek theres no tomorrow. the also break relatively easily, the most common problem is the thumb sticks, which after youve dropped your controle a few times youll find they do what they want, i.e. playing a shooting game, even if you dont have the control in your hand, the crosshairs will slowly move across the screen. either that or it wont allow you to click the thumbstick in. the best thing is...

The Xbox 360 wireless controller in full

Advantages: freedom to move around without the worry of knocking things over or pulling the Xbox on the floor
Disadvantages: turnes off when out of range but comes on agian at the toch of a button

...I first got an Xbox 3 years ago and first started with wired controllers, although the controllers where good, i always managed to knock things off my coffee table with the wire, and i would always go to walk away and end up pulling the Xbox on the floor, and being a pet owner had to constatly lift up the wire so that my dog did not walk into the wire, then one day my dog went to jump over the wire and pulled the Xbox on the floor damaging it beond repair, so when i went to get my new Xbox i saw wireless pads and thought it woz in my intrests to buy two, since then my Xbox has stayed in the same place, all my things stayed on the table and my dog walk's around freely, If i need to answer the door or go to the kitchen my controller simpley comes with me and just turnes off wen out of range, coming on again at the touch of a button it has...

Microsoft Xbox 360 Controller for Windows

Advantages: Identical to XBOX 360 pad, build quality, fell
Disadvantages: None

...Gone are the days of nasty sharp cornered PC game pads. This pad from Microsoft is superb in every way and it's great to see that many games now (on a decent PC) can really mirror the XBOX 360 in terms of experience. You don't need to be tucked away in a PC room getting RSI from a keyboard and mouse. You can play console games on your media centre PC in the lounge and it feels like a console. All buttons are identical to the 360 controller so the build and performance is perfect. I cannot fault this controller at all, there really is no other choice. I haven't tested the wireless version but I can just tuck it to the side and as gaming on the PC is not all does the wired version is a very good price for occasional use. Oh and as a final note, what on earth is the large X button for on the PC? It opens HOME on the XBOX but does nothing...

Review of Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Controller - game pad

Fantastic 360/PC Pad!

Advantages: Great layout, comfortable and easy to use.
Disadvantages: Confusing marketing, crappy D-pad. (wires)

...Refinement: The Xbox 360 wired controller is a refined version of the original Xbox controller S. Taking design hints from the Gamecube controller it was smaller and more ergonomic than the original black brick that was the original design, making it more appealing to a Japanese audience, the pad was so well received they brought it over to the US and Europe. Looks: The Xbox 360 wired controller is a stylish white with a grey band on the underside of the controller. The face buttons are green, red, yellow and blue matching that of the original Xbox design. There is a metallic Xbox button surrounded by a green glowing ring of light in the centre of the controller, which has four quadrants one of which lights up depending on your player number. The analogue sticks and D-pad are grey as is the cord. The pad will look fine just...

Review of Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Controller - game pad

A superb controller!

Advantages: great wireless technology
Disadvantages: quite expensive

...This the wireless controller for all xbox 360 consoles regardless of whether they are the arcade console or the newest elite console. This controller will work on all the consoles. The controller itself is just as important as the console as without the console you are kind of stuck and can't do much. This controller is also wireless! 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...

Review of Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Controller - game pad

•An Exceptional Controller•

Advantages: Reliable and Durable.
Disadvantages: Some minor issues.

...The xbox360 wireless controller is the main controller for the xbox360 games console by Microsoft, it used to control the console using two hands, navigating the various screens and to control the games available for it. The controller itself is battery powered and was one of the first controllers available that contained wireless technology. In my review I will cover the following subject, ? History ? Usability & Design ? Style ? Alternatives ? Advantages & Disadvantages ? Price & Availability ? Conclusion History The Controller itself was announced on MTV may 12th 2005 and details of the controller were fully divulged later that may at the E3! conference for gaming in 2005, and was initially released with the xbox360 consoles, and is seen as a later version of the xbox original controller. However unlike the games from xbox...

Review of Microsoft Xbox 360 Elite

my xbox controller review

Advantages: light and easy to use
Disadvantages: can work out expensive

...i find the microsoft xbox 360 wireless controller very easy to use. The controller is very easy to grip and buttons easy to learn and use after a while. The main problem i have with it is the fact you must keep putting in batteries which is a massive disadvantage where as playstation 3 controllers are automatically charged using a usb cable The price is quite good value considering the hours of fun you can have playing with it but once you add up the cost of every packet of batteries you put in it then it can be quite an expensive comodity. The microsoft xbox wireless controller is light and also has a vibrating feature which will work when used on most games that come with the system....

Xbox 360 Elite

Advantages: Powerfull
Disadvantages: Erm....... None!

...Power is the first thing that comes to mind when i think of the xbox 360 elite, it has a huge 120GB hard disk drive and the graphics seem to run alot smoother that the original xbox 360 for some reason. I had the original xbox 360 but that died on me about 2 weeks after buying, microsoft seem to have sorted out these little issues that kept crashing the system. The elite has a HDMI port which means you can connect this straght into your HD socket on your tv, I have a 42 inch plasma and i thought the graphics was good on my old Xbox 360 through a scart lead but once i plugged this in i was blown away! The graphics are amazing, perfect detail can be seen on the games that you play. You get the HDMI cable with this system too which is just great as they are quite exspensive to buy, you also get one black wirless controller and a headset...
