I don't know how to poll.. sorry about that.

So which do you prefer?

1.) Play & Charge kit

2.) Quick Charge kit

3.) Disposable Battery

I only use 3 because I don't have 1 and 2. so what's yours?

I can't use wired anymore. My sisters both have a kid and they were playing while I was playing SSBB with a wired controller and my wii went flying through the air lol. It was pretty funny but I thought it would break. Wired where I live is just far too dangerous.

I much prefer play & charge. Never have to worry about scrounging for more batteries in an intense gaming situation or any gaming time period, and they're always ready when one set dies.

Play and charge kit or wired. I don't like how the quick charge system does not allow you to play while your controller charges.

I use rechargeables. I don't know if the play and charge kit is any cheaper, I was already using rechargeable batteries for my GBA, CD player and wireless PS2 controller so naturally I started using them for my 360 controller. One thing is for sure, if you play with the 360 more than just a couple hours a month then your going to want to use either rechargeable batteries or the play and charge kit. You'll definitely be saving cash in the long run.

I know the play and charge kit is nothing but a set of rechargeables that can charge from the Xbox360's power, but I've tried my own set of rechargeable batteries and they didn't last as long. Could have been that they were older rechargeable batteries, though.

But I like being able to charge them while I play when they get low, so there's not ever a point where you have to say, "Damn, I cant play right now, cuz I have no charged batteries.", ya know?

And has anybody ever tried using their play and charge kit to try and emulate a wired controller? Cuz that'd be another advantage if this worked.

I tried and it does not work. Basically it is still using the wireless signal but power from the usb. As for batteries, I buy a pack of 48 from costco and they last along time. I had a play and charge kit but it stopped working after about a month.

I bought a play n' charge kit last august for $10 I never bought a battery again. When I played with the battery before I had to turn off the vibrate function as it drains out a lot quicker now I don't have to worry about it I just charge it when I'm not playing it & I'm good.

I think most people definitely appreciate the luxury of wireless. Imagine if your remote control was wired. Imagine if you HAD to connect your Xbox360 directly to a modem/router to play online(not possible for a lot of people). Imagine if laptops HAD to be wired to a modem/router, etc, etc.

Wireless is here to stay, man, sorry.

I'll get the Charge Station. Those batteries actually charge and they awre great, plus, you don't need batteries for it, it comes with 2 batterie slots (same like xbox 360 batteries in the back), but it charges very well. Yes, its going to take 4 hours to charge, but if you think about it, it actually charges the whole batteries. IMO, get the charge station.

I used the Play & Charge kit for almost 6 months. But, I noticed my systems was getting too hot, so I switch to the quick charge kit.

using a headset for multiplayer will make regular batteries die really fast. I'm about to get either the mad catz wired controller, the play and charge kit or the quick charge. don't know, yet, so I suppose this post is pointless

Rechargeable batteries cause you can make them last almost forever by freezing in the fridge, they can keep a charge for a month in the fridge.

Play and Charge kit. You won't run out of batteries in middle of some intense action and then wait like 4 hours for battery to charge.
Great deal for just 15 Euro.
