? 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.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Good move IMHO no matter who is running the administration. We need checks and balances on this stuff especially concerning bleeding edge models. China and others that depend greatly on stolen IP will weaponize it ASAP if they get access. The same effort needs to be applied by the SEC concerning all of this circular funding of AI companies and BS financial reporting as well.
    • Microsoft kills AI-powered history search feature in Edge by Usama Jawad In June 2025, Microsoft began rolling out AI-powered history search functionality with Edge 138. The idea was simple: allow customers to use natural language phrases and synonyms to find their desired history items rather than matching keywords exactly. Although the company had already rolled out this capability in a phased manner, it has now decided to cancel it. In an update on its Microsoft 365 Roadmap, Microsoft has announced that it has decided not to move forward with AI-powered history search. The company has not detailed the exact reasoning behind this move, but it has apologized to customers for the inconvenience. The move is rather interesting as it seemingly could have improved user productivity. Edge users wouldn't have to worry about typos or exact keywords, and just focus on what they were trying to locate in their browser history. Microsoft had also assured users that an on-device AI model would be leveraged for this functionality, and no data would be sent to the cloud. IT admins also had the ability to control its availability through the EdgeHistoryAISearchEnabled policy. When the feature began rolling out last year, many of our readers called it creepy, noting that they couldn't trust Microsoft to keep their data on their device. Others also questioned its usefulness, saying that it's simply a way for Microsoft to insert more AI bloat into its products. Although the Redmond tech giant had stated that it will be more mindful about surfacing Copilot features in Windows 11 apps, we later discussed how this is mostly a rebranding exercise rather than an actual axing of AI functionalities. Indeed, a Microsoft executive later emphasized how they want to reshape Windows for the agentic AI era. That said, it does seem like at least AI-powered Edge history search isn't a part of that vision.
