Please, tell me is it possible to use Varta's NiMh accumulators with wireless joystick instead of alcaline batteries anf Charge and Play kit. Just put them and play? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/uhh.gif)

By NiMh accumulators you mean batteries, correct?
And by joystick you mean the Xbox 360 controller, right?

If so, then yes.  They work fine.  I use NiMh batteries myself.

However, using them with the Play and Charge kit may be a different story.  If the batteries are already charged, it's fine to put them into the controller and play.  If you plan on charging the NiMh batteries with the play and charge kit, I'm not sure.

The AA battery holder uses different power hookups to the controller than the recharagble pack from the P&C kit, you cannot use the P&C charger to charge rechargable AA batteries. You must remove the batteries and use a NiMh wall charger, then put the batteries back into the controller.

But yes, rechargable AA NiMh batteries work, I had a few laying around and that's what I use in mine.

Thank you very much for your help!
Yesterday I've bought Varta's "15 minutes charge and go" charger. And I was afraid to use it NiMh rechargable batteries wth Xbox 360 wireless controller. Hope it won't harm my controller
