Title: Xbox 360 Play & Charge Kit
Post by: rhem on July 31, 2006, 07:19:00 PM

Core Pack Comes With Wired Controler Cool, But Only 2 Ports Right? So Guess That Sucks....
Premium Comes With Wireless Controler, Sounds Good But Thats So Long Buyin AA Batteries...
So The Xbox 360 play & charge kit comes in handy.... right?

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000AYS...ce&n=300703

But How Does It Work?

It says It Charges Your NiMH rechargeable battery pack whilst playin via USB....

And There Is 3 USB Ports, So That Means Only 3 People Can Charge At Once?

And Can You Use Wireless & Wired Controlers Together?

Can Someone Set Me Straight?

Thanx

its good, and everyone with a wireless controller should have one.

you plug it in via usb to your 360 when it gets low...

you can use a usb hub for more than 3 controllers if you wish.

yes you can use wireless/wired together.

Oh Kool Thanx !  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Does It Make Your Controller Chunky?

Can You Use Any USB Hub?

Thanx Again....

Hey There Is NO point In This, As It Charges Via USB Whilst Playing Your Game, So Your Playin With a Wired Controller REally....

The Xbox 360 Quick Charge Kit Looks Better...

No it can also charge while the console is turned off.  So if you are playing a lot than when your done for the night hook up your controller and and turn your console off.  Then when you wake up its all charged and your ready to unhook the controller and play.

It doesnt charge thru out the night if you turn off your 360 and watch the play and charge kit it will only charge for about 30 minutes max then it turns it self off.

Play and charge kit is much better than the quick charge kit.  With the play and charge kit you can play while you charge your battery pack--something you cant do with the quick charge kit.  Just got mine in the mail today... $21 with shipping on Ebay  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
