Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: great bit of kit Comment: some people on this page are saying it defeats the object of playing wireless, but if you had two wireless controllers you can charge one then play with it and while you are playing with the charged controller, charge the other one up. And when the one you are playing with runs out simply swap the controllers over. do you get what i'm saying???????? Customer Rating: Summary: No point Comment: The item is a clever idea but it sort of defeats the object of wireless controllers, yes it does charge while playing but wires should be no more just buy the quick charge kit its a bit more expensive but charges faster and theres no need for wires. Customer Rating: Summary: it will save you alot of money Comment: buy this item it will save money. buying batteries everytime your controller runs out of battery it is contributing to global warming so i reccoment this item it is economical and ecological. Customer Rating: Summary: Takes Forever! Comment: While this is very handy if you don't have more than one battery, or a wired controller, but if you do then it's not very convenient, the reason being it takes absolutely ages to recharge the battery, we are talking hours upon hours and you'll spend about quarter of your Xbox 360 gaming life effectively playing a wired controller. Sometimes it even keeps the console on even when you switch the unit off and carries on recharging, not something you want to do leaving your console whirring away all day if you have to go out to work. The best thing is to have the quick charge unit, there is no comparison, that thing is rapid, and can recharge a battery in around an hour or so, so if you have a spare battery you can alternate the two and get your backup done again in no time without ever using wires, or failing that if you have a regular wired controller, use that while you quickly recharge the battery in the quickcharge unit for an hour. The plus point is it's only three quid more than the battery on its own but frankly if you have a quickcharge unit you won't use it again after the first experience because it just takes so long. Customer Rating: Summary: Essential piece of kit for your wireless controller Comment: The first thing I bought after getting my Xbox360 premium pack was this pieced of kit. If you buy a wireless controller it often is only supplied with batteries so this is a worthy purchase. I think that it's much better than a quickcharge since even if it's as the battery is as flat as a pancake you can still play your game and charge at the same time. Imagine if your mates are over and you've been dying to play in an online game or against him in the latest game and your battery is flat for your wireless. If you've got a quickcharge you've still got to wait until it has charged, but with this you can play straight away. It can also plug straight into your PC for the odd game too. On a full charge you can get a good full 2 or 3 days of solid gameplay. Very useful piece of kit in my opinion. More Reviews
