Great unit, Great Price

This is a must have with your 360 and a controller. And in black to match your Elite controllers.

You can plug it in via USB to your Xbox 360 and charge the included battery pack while you play your game.

You can also remove your battery pack, and plug the cable directly to your 360 for wired gaming (so your controller won't shut off while you are in the middle of that hired driver Forza race.

This charges via any USB port on your 360, your computer, your cable box, or your dog (if he has included USB hub).

I recommend buying one of these, then buying the Quick Charge Kit. Then you'll have 2 battery packs, the quick charge dock, and a USB charge cable.

Play & Charge

A great idea. Say you and your friends are having a long day/night of playing, you can just switch this around 4 controllers with rechargeable batteries, and keep them all charged over the whole time you play. We usually get a bunch of us together and take 2 Xbox360's with 2 play and charge kits, with every controller having rechargable battery packs, and can play virtually infinitely without having to stop because someones pack has ran out of batteries. I really can't complain about this product.

Works great

It seemed to take quite a while to charge the controller pack the first time. However, it doesn't keep you from playing since you can play while it is charging.

I did find that charging on the XBOX while it is turned off is a little quirky. I plugged it in while the XBOX was on, and then turned it off. After a while, though, the USB port seemed to turn off its power and the controller quit charging.

That was not a particular problem for me, though, as I have powered USB ports on both my cable set top box and the Wii. I have since been charging it via the cable box. Works great.

The only real problem, though, is that it was $7 more than a white one, which doesn't make sense at all.

Totaly worth having

If you have a 360 totaly get the plug and play chargeable batt. Never buy another AA batery! dont get it in black unless you have an Elite system or it might look funny. They are good to have though

BTW: they only work with wireless 360 controllers (incase anyone had quertions):)
