When I first got my 360 in 2006, I picked up 2 of these, and used them often. When I had the controllers plugged into the system with them, I noticed something.
A lot of times, after I turned off my console, the fans on the console would keep running if I had one of the play and charge kits plugged in. I thought it was just continuing to charge the controller. Little did I know, it was actually draining them.
In less than 6 months… neither of the batteries I got with the play and charge kits held a charge at all. These are bad news and a waste of money. The Xbox 360 Quick Charge Kit is a much better investment. I have been using this since then and have had no problems with it at all. Not to mention it charges the batteries much more quickly.
It’s a little more expensive, but well worth it.

I don’t use this to play the games. My controllers are wireless, and I use this just to recharge the battery pack when I’m not playing. Positives: It does what it’s supposed to, which is charge. But I don’t know how well it works in terms of having it connected while playing, as a wired controller, because I don’t use it for that. Good thing is if you start charging and turn off your xbox, it will still keep charging. Negatives: Takes a while to charge.

Very handy when the moment the battery goes low in the wireless controllers in the middle of a game.
And as always, Amazon provided the best price and shipped fairly quick.
