User Comments about the Xbox 360 Charge Base

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



Microsoft Quick Charge or Tekno InCharge ($4 more) can charge Nyko batteries but Nyko charger cannot charge Microsoft or other compatible batteries. 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. It's a total let-down when I received this charger. Without their custom made batteries, this charger is useless. Why no one ever raise this issue at the 1st place is beyond me.



This is HARDLY a con.


I really enjoy this charge base.


Just unplug the microphone.


Many of it's pro's have been already discussed.


Con's:-As discussed, you can't charge the controllers with the microphone attached.


-LED's provide notification for charging / charged.


Pros:-You don't have to take the batteries out, obviously.


Eventually turn off when charged.-Provides a stable home for your controllers so they're not sitting all over the room.


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.



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.



jesus christ guys, nyko makes things for everything, just go for the microsoft one, these dont work with play and charge kits, plus if you have more then 2 controllers, you can only charge two, whereas with the microsoft on, pop em in pop em out, that simple.
