Doesn't charge with my PC. (2008-10-23)
The next two paragraphs are optional. Skip to the last line for my product review.
This is not really a review, more like a warning. I cannot fault Microsoft because nowhere in the product description does it say that you can charge your battery using a PC (or any other USB power source). However, the almighty Internet informed me that this was so. Let it be known: some people on the Internet do not know what they are talking about...including...me (possibly). It is entirely possible that you may receive a Play and Charge Kit that recharges perfectly well with your PC. I believe those that say it works with their PC. I cannot fault Microsoft for my buyer's remorse, but I can fault Microsoft for having "wacky" hardware. You really never know how it is going to go with them.
I bought this product because I wanted to baby my 360, charging my battery exclusively with my computer. I cannot do that now, hence my sour demeanor. Yes, you can turn the 360 "off" (the fan still runs) while charging. It has been my experience that electronics that are "off" no longer produce sound. With all the hardware failure that plagues the system, I would rather not keep my system in this pseudo-off state for six hours every time I wish to charge my battery.
It charges the battery. 5 stars!
Charge time is too slow (2008-09-30)
Since this charger charges via usb the charge time is a little slow, you can conect the cable to a computer or charge it y while you play...
I didnt give it five stars or four because i never seen completly charge, never seend the light of the cable turn green or turned off...
The battery can lats like a week charged playing two hours daily, if it was me i would pay alittle more and go for the XBOX 360 QUICK CHARGE KIT that can cahrge teo batteries at once...
also agood thing of the play and charge kit it comes with a batterie
Not exactly as advertised, but still a good purchase (2008-09-08)
First of all, despite what it says on the packaging, you will NOT get 25 hours of play on one charge; more like 5 or 6. Second, the charge indicator is inaccurate and inconsistent: sometimes it'll say it's full when it's actually almost dry, and other times it'll say it's running low when the charge is actually okay.
Not that it's too big of a problem, because when the controller is actually running low on charge, the lights around the Xbox Guide Button will begin flashing. As you're playing, you'll notice the flashing lights out of your peripheral vision. That's when you pause your game, look down at your controller, and see it's crying for more power. You simply plug the cord into either USB port on the 360 and you're set! The light on the charger will be red as long as the controller is still charging, and when it turns green you know it's full.
Overall, I'm very happy with my charger and it's already paid for itself in all the money I've saved in not having to continuously buy more batteries. If you have a cordless controller, this product is pretty much a must-have.
Happy with the Play and Charge kit! (2008-08-18)
The Play and Charge kits kick the crap out of using batteries. If you don't have these buy two now! Unfortunately, the 360 only has 2 USB Ports so buying more than 2 is useless. Enjoy though!
This actually kills the batteries! (2008-08-02)
When I first got my 360 in 2006, I picked up 2 of these, and used them often. When I had the controllers plugged into the system with them, I noticed something.
A lot of times, after I turned off my console, the fans on the console would keep running if I had one of the play and charge kits plugged in. I thought it was just continuing to charge the controller. Little did I know, it was actually draining them.
In less than 6 months... neither of the batteries I got with the play and charge kits held a charge at all. These are bad news and a waste of money. The Xbox 360 Quick Charge Kit is a much better investment. I have been using this since then and have had no problems with it at all. Not to mention it charges the batteries much more quickly.
It's a little more expensive, but well worth it.
