chuckyj360's Full Review: Microsoft Play & Charge Kit (B4Y-00027) for Xbox 3...
The wireless play and charge kit is almost a must for any xbox360 owner. I’ll have yet another in-depth review of this item. If there is one accessory you should have other then the hard drive this is it and I’ll tell you why inside.
what comes in the package…
So what is included in the wireless plug and play accessory kit. The deal of a life time. Included in the package is the recharge device and a battery to make your xbox360 controller go wireless. Each charge will log you roughly 25-40 hrs of gameplay. This is a much better deal then going out and buying the double A batteries. That will become quite an expense, and an expendable expense with this accessory in control.
wireless gameplay…
For those of you that have a wired game pad, you need to upgrade. There is no better experience then playing wireless. You no longer have to sit there and untie all the knots in the controller cord that happens when you roll them up. You also have the complete freedom to move all around without getting the controller cord caught on something, or the cord is not long enough.
The range and accuracy is also excellent. You will never have interference with any device, or I haven’t with my experience with the battery device attached and charged. When the charge starts to get low of course the signal will come and go, but that is when it is recharge time.
Recharging…
So what happens if you need to recharge while you are in the middle of playing a game? No, problem. You can either pause the game and connect the recharge kit from the battery to the xbox360 USB port, and simply unpause the game and continue playing while the battery is getting recharged. But, if the battery totally loses the signal, because of a weak battery, the game will automatically pause and tell you to reconnect the controller. Simply plug in the charge kit to the controller, into the xbox360 and continue playing.
So is it wireless while you are playing and recharging the battery? No, but the cord is more then sufficient for almost any gaming environment, and it doesn’t take very long to charge back up and be wire free once more.
Recap…
* Recharge while you play
Recharge while you play or when your Xbox 360 is in standby mode.
* Know your battery level
Check the battery level—the battery power level is shown on the Xbox 360 dashboard.
* 25-40- hours of gameplay per charge
Bottom line…
If you have a xbox360 this is almost a must have accessory. It makes a lot of difference in the video gaming play environment. You get the freedom to roam around or play from a far distance with no effect on gameplay or no cords to get tangled up. You can also stop buying all of those double A batteries.
Well worth the money spent and will save you money in the future
