Thumbs up really good advice to save money!!!!

hey u guys i just thought of giving u guys some really good advice for the the Xbox 360. This is how it goes, when you buy the premium edition of the xbox 360 (which everyone should be buying) you shouldn't waste 20 bux on the stupid Play and charge kit, and then if u have a brother or somebody who wants to play in the same household then you would have to buy another battery pack which is 12 dollars. so this is what you should do. when you buy the 360 and the extra controller or whatever buy a good pack of lithium-ion AA type batteries, 4 pack should be fine or buy more if u want, and those batteries will give about 40 hours of life per charge which is awesome. and then you just put them on charge and then when you are ready to go again you will just take it out of the charger and put it on and be good to go. I found this tip very valuable and i think it is valuable for you guys too if you are in a small budget. The batteries (4AA) with the charger should cost you under $20 and http://www.newegg.com has some really good deals so check it out and let me know for what you guys think of it.

I'll be buying a couple play & charge kits just so I'll have charged ones laying around when one dies. You can buy 2 for $24. Not that much more than if you bought a charger and batteries.

You can disable smilies in the "User CP", under options.
