REVIEW
A "Must have" for 360 owners I was having problems with my wireless controllers shutting off during games. After some troubleshooting, I found out that it was the AA batteries losing connection. When I bumped or shook the controller, it would turn off. Even thelightest tap from my ring would turn it off. My temporary solution to this was to remove the battery cover and then pull the springs up more so they would hold the batteries in tighter. This worked for a while, but now that doesn't seem to be doing the trick anymore.
My new solution was to buy the play & charge kit. Problem solved! The rechargeable battery packs don't use the AA battery springs so now I can tap and shake the controller as much as I want and it stays on. No more frustration controller disconnects for me. I'm going to buy the rechargeable batteries for all three of my controllers.
The only downside that I've seen so far is that the battery life isn't as long as two AA's. But it's really not much of a downside because it's so easy to just plug in the cable and let it charge while you play. Your Xbox will even finish charging the battery after you turn the 360 off so it'll be at full charge the next time you play. Very cool!
Overall, this is a great product and a must have for any Xbox 360 owner.

REVIEW
Charge time is too slow Since this charger charges via usb the charge time is a little slow, you can conect the cable to a computer or charge it y while you play...
I didnt give it five stars or four because i never seen completly charge, never seend the light of the cable turn green or turned off...
The battery can lats like a week charged playing two hours daily, if it was me i would pay alittle more and go for the XBOX 360 QUICK CHARGE KIT that can cahrge teo batteries at once...

REVIEW
Xbox 360 Play & Charge Kit with Black Controller I bought this bundle as a video game deal-of-the-day recently. I already had a white wireless controller and play & charge kit and I definitely enjoyed the freedom of wireless controllers. These kits are great because you don't have to keep buying new batteries or swapping rechargeable ones. I just play, and when I'm done I just plug them into my PC USB ports to charge, so I don't have to leave my 360 on. (These charge kits DO NOT WORK as PC controllers -- only for charging. Silly, eh?)
The deal of the day was for $45. An added benefit was that it was the black bundle, so the controller stands out amongst the many white ones that most people have. I have had no problems thus far and am glad I bought this bundle at the discounted price. I probably would not buy it at full price, though.
Contains limited edition red wireless controller and play and charge kit / Bundled with a Play & Charge Cable and matching red rechargeable battery Built for lag-free play Integrated headset port for Xbox Live play Adjustable vibration feedback for longer battery life
REVIEW
Same excelent controller, new sexy color. This is the same controller with a nice new paint job just in time for Gears of War 2. It also comes with a play and charge kit which is why it is more expensive.
Charge two Xbox 360 controllers simultaneously in just 2.5 hours with Energizer's Power & Play Charging System for Xbox 360. Fully compatible with Microsoft's Xbox 360 rechargeable battery! (Rechargeable batteries not included). Includes a UL-approved AC power cord.
REVIEW
Batteries not included. I might be crazy, but I don't see 'Batteries Not Included' anywhere on the packaging. Any other charger for this price includes at least one rechargable battery. No biggie, though. This is about good looks, right? I was excited to see this in a store the other day. Bought it after some consideration. Really wanted to like this thing, but it's just so light. It should either have a weighted base, or a way to screw/bolt it down. One controller makes it lean forward, and you have to pick the whole thing up to connect or disconnect a controller. Kind of disappointing. 3 stars because it looks cool, but my controller isn't even white, so it doesn't work well for my situation. Might return itto the store I bought it from. I'm on the fence about it.
The best app for the Xbox 360, period. What can I really say. It's a rechargeable pack for my wireless controller. I never have to buy batteries for at least a year or two (assuming normal rechargeable life) and I can charge while I play, or when I want to keep my Xbox 360 off I can just charge it in my laptop's USB input. Very useful to have, everyone should have at least one of these.

REVIEW
Assassin's Creed is SICK I waited until November 2008 to purchase this game. 1) I didn't think it would be very good 2) I didn't really have time to put into it.
It was well worth the wait. I've only played the game for a total of about 4 hours so far and I really appreciate the story line and feel of the game. I don't usually play this type of game but, I'll admit, this is one I will finish. The game play reminds me of Tomb Raider and Ninja Gaiden (the new version). If you haven't played this yet and your into this type of single player game, grab this one. The price has dropped considerably and it's well worth the low price.

Backstory Five years have passed since your former Saints crew betrayed you. As you awake from a coma for the first time since that fateful day, you find the Stilwater you once ruled is in disarray. Unfamiliar gangs have laid claim to your territory, rival factions have taken over your rackets, and cash-hungry corporations have laid waste to your once proud 3rd Street home. Abandoned and left scarred with an unrecognizable face, you seek out a plastic surgeon to begin your new life on the streets. Yet some things never change in Stilwater. Respect can only be earned and that requires a lifestyle that reflects your unique personality. Your crib, your crew, and your character define who you are on the streets and how you are perceived. The image you portray is as important as the decisions you make in a city ruled by false bravado and impulsive behavior. The only constant is the need for an identity that reflects your individuality. But style and image can only take you so far in a world where actions speak louder than words. Sometimes sending a message to your enemies requires heavy lifting, like that of a rival gang member into oncoming traffic. Respect in Stilwater needs to be taken, and what better way than to grab it from the hands of a gang full of enemies by means of a satchel charge, a flame-thrower or those minigun rounds you've been saving for a special occasion. Meet Your Homies But remember that the fight to reclaim Stilwater does not have to be waged alone. The Saints once ruled these streets as a crew of brothers, and their return to the top can help be secured through co-operative alliances. The time has finally come to seek revenge against your rivals to reestablish your crew as the rightful kings of Stilwater, but the streets are crawling with bangers. Check out the crews you'll run into and remember their faces and their ways:
3rd Street Saints Once the kings of the city, the Saints have been forced out of their titular home of Saints Row by the Ultor Corporation, a giant conglomerate that gentrified the once poor neighborhood. Now operating out of an abandoned underground hotel, the Saints are looking to reclaim the glory that they lost several years ago.
Ronin One of the newest gangs instilling fear in Stilwater, the Ronin recruit from both the city's Asian population as well as among the immigrants. Their crimes involve peddling vice through gambling, prostitution, street-racing, and protection rackets, and their power has reached even into the boardroom of corporations like Ultor.
Sons of Samedi Influenced by Voodoo and a history of military corruption in Haiti, the Sons of Samedi are known for theirpotent combination of spiritualism and fearlessness. Members are attracted to the gang out of respect for their methods, through coercion or a desire for easy income generated through trade in their designer drug called "Loa Dust."
Brotherhood Formed from the cast-outs and dredges of Stilwater society, the Brotherhood is a solid force of strength and intimidation intent on revenging itself upon the police and city. Specializing in violent extortion, they forego subtlety and nuance and simply take what they want, all the while flashing their allegiance with piercings and tattoos, bright colors, and gas-guzzling trucks.
Ultor Corporation A ruthless corporate contender, the Ultor Corporation's gentrification of Saints Row created a new skyline for the city and a headquarters for their corporate office at the expense of the poor and the 3rd Street Saints. Now they're targeting another neighborhood, the Shivington projects, fueling gang wars andwaiting for the prime moment to move in and reap the profits.

Lots of Wieldable Weapons - Whether you talking chairs, parking meters, street signs, newspaper dispensers or your neighbor's garden gnome, use whatever is on hand to take out an enemy.
An Explosive Weapon Arsenal - When a melee weapon just won't do, send a message to your enemies by dipping into an arsenal that includes: rocket launchers, shock-paddles, stun-guns, satchel-charges, mini-guns, uzis, automatic shotguns and flame-throwers; Some of which can be duel wielded.
A Vehicle for Every Surface - Put the pedal to the metal in a large selection of cars, motorcycles, ATVs, planes, watercraft and helicopters.
All New Music - Saints Row 2 will feature an entirely new soundtrack of songs and the ability to create a custom in-game radio station, accessible from any vehicle by building a playlist of songs purchased in-game, with in-game money.
The Silwater sprawled before you as you wake in Saints Row 2 is both familiar and strange, but you will find that the explosive conclusion to the original Saints Row not only has left you wounded and betrayed, but also thirsty for revenge. Now it's time to take back the city that has forgotten you and only you will decide how far you'll go to achieve that.
REVIEW
Saint Row Sucks So I ordered this game after I have been playing GTA4 for a while. WHAT A DISSAPOINTMENT. I feel like I'm playing a game that was made ten years ago. The graphics suck and the gameplay is just stupid. SR2 is like a kid version of GTA4. GTA4 is so much better on every level..it is just pathetic that SR2 is even considered in the same league. If your like a tween than get this but if you're a mauture gamer then cut to the chase and get the real deal...which is GTA4. I'm going to Game Stop to sell my SR2 today. It's lame.
Save your money Although its nice to play as Ironman, this game is not worth $[...]. More like $[...]. The cut scenes are horrible. Some of the graphics are nice, the ironman suit is nice as well. After a day or two of playing this game, i regretted not getting GTA4 instead. I hope the new Hulk game isn't this bad:(
