I dont like it personally, it is faster to use some 15 minute rechargeable batterys, my ravonec ones were 10 bucks and they charge in 10-15 minutes and last for 2-3 days

it nice because you never have to turn off the controller you can do it mid game.

It's called Play & Charge kit for a reason. I'd rather use this because well, you can charge while you play! Wow, ironic!

i heard people say it wasnt very good is this true

I like it, there are only 2 bad things, 1 is that the battery power meter doesnt work, but your controller will remind you (for about 5 hours before shutting down) when your batteries are getting low (by flashing the 4 lights in different patterns). The other is that the controller stays on even when you turn the xbox 360 off, draining battery power (you can see a really dim green light, and it does waste battery power. I think it is worth the $19.99, just remember to disconnect the battery when you're done playing.

i love this tool

DJP i kinda agree with you but im the sort of person who always waits till the last minute to charge my batterys and gaming downtime when your on a roll is no good thing and i think thats where this thing comes into its own with you still being able to play while charging. Sure its a quite expensive add on but you know in the long run it will be worth it.

i heard these problems with it anyone had any problems

What sort of problems? I haven't personally had any, i mean how many problems can you have with a charging device?

Does the rechargable battery really last for 19 hours with constant game play or is that 19 hours on standby time?

the play and charge is a good deal in my opinion cause you can still play while its charging just by plugging it into the 360

thats a farce it is one of the best accessories imo

i'd love to own one soon
