Xbox 360 Black Play & Charge Kit Review
|
|
|
When I got my Xbox 360 Elite I immediately bought another controller for friends that might come over and I wanted to make things easier with having rechargeable batteries in my controllers. It seemed to be a waste of batteries to continuously change and throw out batteries.
This kit is perfect. It served my needs exactly. Batteries last a reasonably long time, although charging does take awhile (Keep in mind that is mostly the case because you usually are playing while charging). The charging cord is excessively long as well.
If you are tired of dealing with regular batteries and would like a more efficient way of powering your controllers, this is the best thing you could get.

This is a great product. There are many pros and few cons.
Pros - It replaces your batteries, you don't need to buy them anymore
Play AND Charge - it allows you to charge while you play which allows you to charge faster.
Simple - it is really simple to use, just plug it in to the controller and then to the console.
Cons - Sometimes it is difficult to remove the plug from the controller
The batter will slowly lose its charge over time which means you will either not be able to charge it or it will lose its charge very quickly. It is really easy to replace and it isn't a hassle and it definately is less expensive to use disposable batteries.
Overall - 4 stars - simple to use, very reliable, and overall a better value then disposable batteries

I bought this kit along with a black wireless controller when Amazon had the bundle as a gold box deal a few months ago. It worked fine for a couple of weeks, then I started to notice that the battery was lasting shorter and shorter periods of playtime. Now it doesn't hold a charge at all. I plug it in and the light glows red for a second, then goes green. Unplug and the controller is dead.
Luckily it came with a standard battery pack and I now have rechargeable AA batteries and a charger, so I will just go that route and see if it works a little better. As a note, I also bought a white play/charge kit about 6 months before the black one, and it still works fine as of now. Guess it's luck of the draw on these, which is disappointing.

i've been using batteries for a while now and i'm sick of it. not having batteries when you are playing something is the worst thing that can happen to you on an xbox 360. these work fine, although you have to charge and use them a few times before they can retain their full charge (as expected by rechargeable batteries). and what's even better is you can play while its charging the batteries thanks to the cable. if you play an average or above average amount of xbox 360 i'd highly recommend this product. i bought two of them for both my controllers.

As simple as it is. It charges the battery, it works. I haven't had any problems with it. The cable is very long, so you won't have to move from that sweet spot on the couch during game play.
