5 out of 5 stars Always charged and easy to find!   November 30, 2008
This thing is awesome just as expected. I just wish I could buy more battery packs for it. My controllers batteries never die and are always right where I left them no more lost controllers.


5 out of 5 stars Much nicer than rechargeable AA's   November 3, 2008
I have used this charge base for over a month now and I am extremely pleased. Fast charging time, just as it states in the product description. They last longer than my longest gaming sessions go, which can be between 6 and 7 hours. Great value for the price. Also makes your gaming area look more sophisticated as the controllers are docked with the charging lights on.


1 out of 5 stars Not compatible with other batteries   October 10, 2008
  3 out of 6 found this review helpful

It's a total let-down when I received this charger. It is not compatible with other Xbox 360 batteries that we have because this charger is custom made for their batteries with 3 exposed pads on the back to charge. Without their custom made batteries, this charger is useless. Microsoft Quick Charge or Tekno InCharge ($4 more) can charge Nyko batteries but Nyko charger cannot charge Microsoft or other compatible batteries. Why no one ever raise this issue at the 1st place is beyond me.

I really enjoy this charge base. Many of it's pro's have been already discussed.

Pros:
-You don't have to take the batteries out, obviously.
-LED's provide notification for charging / charged. Eventually turn off when charged.
-Provides a stable home for your controllers so they're not sitting all over the room.

Con's:
-As discussed, you can't charge the controllers with the microphone attached. This is HARDLY a con. Just unplug the microphone. You have to take into consideration that if this unit was designed to keep the microphones attached to the controllers it would probably be an overall larger unit.



5 out of 5 stars Excellent, what MS should have brought out   August 8, 2008

I've had the play n charge kit for a while but it quickly got to the point where I'd fully charge the controller, remove the cable and it'd say it was out of battery again within a few hours of use.

This unit is excellent, had no problems whatsoever. Gives me somewhere neat to put the controllers instead of on the floor and works as described, just plonk it in the cradle when you aren't playing. The battery fits well, almost flush but is out by a few milimetres - but who gives a fudge?
