I'm trying to decide if I should get a couple of Play and Charge kits or some rechargable batteries. I have four controllers, so I figure 2 play and charge kits and 2 more Xbox 360 Wireless Controller batteries should suffice, but maybe a bunch of rechargable AA batteries would be more cost effective?

Just use regular batteries. No need to deal with all the recharging stuff. You can get, like, a 24 pack of AA batteries for something ridiculously cheap at a place like Sam's Club. That's what I did with my Wavebirds on my GC, and that worked fine.

I was thinking the same thing about the play and charge kits...

Right now I have two controllers both with the rechargable batterys, and one play and charge kit...

So when I get the other two controllers I'll buy one play and charge kit and one battery...

I think thats the best way to do it...

OOOolllaaalalala

360 is hidden shiftyninja.gif

TV is fricckin huge...

Parents dont know I blew my college fund money on the 360 lol

Since my mom got a new job...we are officially in the top 15% of highest earning families (aka rich)

W00t.

uhh that tv doesn't look that big, it's bigger than mine but nothing compared to most of these...

Im just excited for us :) Not too much to worry regarding college etc. And this thing is huge, as in depth. I was expecting it to be much skinnier. Emphasis on the much.

Nice setup, I've got a 34 inch SOny CRT widescreen. It looks great but my couch just broke and I had to throw it away, so now i am playing on the floor until Crate and Barrel sends a new one in a month.

And is that 26 inch? or 30? I cant tell from the pic...maybe its a 34 heh

Not a gamecube fan?

it's actually a 30 inch and the picture quality is quite superb....very bright as well. i actually am a gamecube fan...but i recently removed it to make room for the x360...hehe.

Guy with the samsung and 5500 setup, I have a question for you.

Do you have digital sound through all your consoles? I'm with a similiar setup and as the z-5500's only have 1 optical connection, i'm kind of screwed. I've been thinking a cheap reciever will do the trick, what do you think?

yea i guess you can get a receiver...i personally don't have the space to fit one in my setup. all i simply do is switch the optical cable to whichever console i play...they're all close together and easily accessible, so it's not a problem for me.

      "...a low price of just $340..." I don't think it means what you think it means.

    • Nearly 70% of Steam users now run Windows 11

      By grunger106 · Posted

      The very fact that a TPM (v2.0 specifically which is part of the issue I suspect) is now a baseline for any supported Windows installation will naturally mean other vendors will start to leverage it as they know it'll be there. It's called progress, and it's always been the way. A TPM isn't a windows thing, it's just a module designed to securely store keys. Secure boot isn't a Windows thing (although MS are the TCA as I recall hence the upheaval this year as the 2011 certs expire), it's just a way to verify a bootloader is signed. Windows simply leverages them.
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account

      It's a local account with the ability to reset a password at a very base level. I really don't get the issue that gets whipped up around it But you do you
