? for those who own the play/charge kit


Recommended Posts

Damn I barely have 360 and you already got 3600 :D :D

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.

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.

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

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.

    • SpaceX reportedly plans a Starlink mobile service for U.S. consumers by Karthik Mudaliar SpaceX reportedly wants to sell mobile phone plans directly to consumers in the United States as part of a wider expansion of Starlink. According to a report from the Financial Times, SpaceX president Gwynne Shotwell discussed the plan with investors during the company’s recent IPO roadshow. The company is also said to be considering building a terrestrial mobile network to complement Starlink’s satellite coverage. The plan is quite different from how Starlink currently operates in the U.S. mobile market. SpaceX already provides satellite connectivity for T-Mobile’s T-Satellite service, but T-Mobile remains responsible for the subscription, billing, and customer support. A Starlink-branded mobile service would give SpaceX control of the customer relationship instead. It could also turn the company from a partner of traditional mobile operators into a direct competitor. T-Mobile also began testing its Starlink-powered satellite service in early 2025. The beta was initially limited to text messaging and was also available to some AT&T and Verizon customers. The service has since expanded to support limited data access through selected apps, including WhatsApp, Google Maps, AccuWeather, and AllTrails. It is designed to provide a connection in areas where normal cell towers are unavailable, rather than replace a conventional mobile network. However, if SpaceX actually has a plan to serve nationwide, it needs to do more than just satellite networks and actually support on-ground operations. It can also partner up with existing carriers and become a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO). With that said, SpaceX has already spent heavily to support its mobile ambitions. Just last year, the company agreed to acquire wireless spectrum licences from EchoStar in deals worth a combined $19.6 billion. EchoStar's spectrum includes AWS-4, H-Block, and AWS-3 frequencies that could be used for both satellite and terrestrial communications. According to a SpaceX securities filing, the Federal Communications Commission approved the transaction in May 2026, although it is not expected to close until late 2027. There's no official statement by SpaceX for now. Pricing, availability, and other details remain unknown. Source: Financial Times
