Say IF your in the middle of a game and you batteries were on low would the energy level affect the reaction time of the controller???

If your batteries start to die, there will be a warning on the tv, and the controller. Apparently, you will receive ample time to get it pluged in, or the batteries replaced.

Also, the play time is dependent on rumble settings. If U like it on, and as high as possible (like me) you will drain the batteries quicker.

The rechargable battery and cord used to charge it don't come with the controller. You have to buy them seperate. So when you take it out of the box you either have to have some batteries or the play & charge kit.

Wow....everyone spending money on play and charge BS...the P&C has a cord right? Doesnt that defeat the purpose of a WIRELESS controller!? Hello people....go to wal-Mart and go buy a pack of rechargable batteries that comes with a charger. You get 4 batteries....charge all 4 for 8 hours....then put 2 in your controller....when they run out just switch out the batteries (2 recharging and fully charged ones in your controller) there is NO WAY u will ever run out of battery life since it only takes 8 hrs to charge the batteries and the batteries are good for 1000+ rechargings!...your controller will not run out in less than 8 hr straight anyways! and it cost the same if not just a few bucks more!

You just have to keep the Play and charge wire hooked into your controller for about 30-45 minutes then its ready to go for like a week or more. I usually do it when Im downloading a demo or taking a brreak or something.

DeadOneWalking · 12-01-2006, 11:37 AM

I just charge as needed, but I wait until the controller shuts off because of the battery level. Usually when that happens I have played for some time and want to take a break anyway, so it's perfect for me! I have had to charge now 3 times, not counting the initial charge.

Ok for $20 you get a rechargeable battery pack and the USB cable to connect to the XBOX 360 and then to the wireless controller. The fsecond day i got my 360 my AA batteries were dead (MASSIVE PLAYING

). I then went out to look for the rechargeable pack and found it at Target and purchased it. I have been using it since you have to have it plugged in to charge but as others have said the cord is very long. Once the red light turns green you can unplug and you are back to wireless.

I think it is a good idea but would be nice if they created a plug pack so you can have one charging in the socket in the wall as the other is being used for playing.

No how long the battery will last with constant recharging not sure....but will find out I am sure.

That is alot of "AA"s you will be using if you play alot on the system. Also you can turn off the vibration feature which will increase your battery life. <just a suggestion>

360rulz · 13-01-2006, 01:46 AM

ok here's what i did

plug the cord into the back of the 360
run it behind the tv
have a back up controller and make sure both are ready when you have friends over to play

i mean we all have a 2nd player occasionally right? so having one controller charging while using the other isn't bad is it? it's not like you're buying a controller that you dont need anyways

g-unit95 · 05-02-2006, 01:51 PM

dude how much do they cost
also i never heard of a docking station eithre
also id buy an extra wired controller if i where you in case the wireless runs out of batteries and your in the middle of a game
