? for those who own the play/charge kit

[AndyD]

Is it two rechargable AA batteries? Just wondering if I'm going to be able use some Powerex batteries I have instead of the stock ones

[esco]

the play and charge kit comes with a rechargable battery pack (not rechargable AA's)

[AndyD]

What are you talking about?

Oh and the Play & Charge is great. So nice not to have to worry about replacing the AAs when they die out, I can just plug in the Play & Charge mid-game once the ring-of-light on the controller starts flashing. I have four controllers, I bought two Play & Charge kits and I'm going to buy the two stand-alone Xbox 360 Rechargable Battery Packs. That way I can alternate charging the rechargable packs on the four controllers depending on which two need it at the time. :)

Does anyone know if you can use the Play & Charge kit to use the controller on the PC?

Because when I connected it to my PC, and turned the controller on, it said it found a "USB Device."

Sorry for stealing the thread, but I figured this was the proper place to ask. :blush:

The original thread topic title was "? for those who own the play/charge kit, for the 3600". :whistle:

and wild I think that should work even thought I never or will use on a computer.

I think people came to the conclusion that Play & Charge only provides power to the controller, not data as well.

The play and charge kits are out in the UK but you won't be able to find them anywhere. The same goes for the hard disk.

No, I got a hard-drive from Game.

That was luck then because at the moment you can't even get things like a controller.

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work. MS have 360 controller drivers on their site but they only work for the wired pad. As you say, the wireless + play and charge kit on a PC does cause a device to get detected but it seems there are no drivers for it.

Before I bought my Premium I was able to find and buy every accessory apart from the hard drive. It did however take me almost a week and a lot of driving around shops to get them. But I think the accessories will start to filter through now more often, now that the christmas rush is over.
