You get a controller and a charging unit bundled together here.

As far as the Play and Charge Kit is concerned…

This is a must have with your 360 and a controller.

You can plug it in via USB to your Xbox 360 and charge the included battery pack while you play your game.

You can also remove your battery pack, and plug the cable directly to your 360 for wired gaming (so your controller won’t shut off while you are in the middle of that hired driver Forza race.

This charges via any USB port on your 360, your computer, your cable box, or your dog (if he has included USB hub).

I recommend buying one of these, then buying the Quick Charge Kit. Then you’ll have 2 battery packs, the quick charge dock, and a USB charge cable.

As far as the controller is concerned, it’s a great color, and is your typical xbox 360 controller otherwise. Great ergonomics and fits in your color scheme whether you have the black or white console.

Very nice controller, it charges fast! You can either play the game wirelessly, or wired. When it is wired it is charging the battery so you will always be able to play! I reccomend buying 1 more battery because they dont’t live forever!

I returned the initial shipment for an exchange, the reason for doing so was because of the persistent squeak from the L trigger, loud enough to notice even when engulfed in intense gameplay, the replacement however was with the same fault, I’m not sure if it has something to do with springs they’re using now or what the deal is, the R trigger does not squeak so I’m unsure as to what in particular is causing this fault.

Otherwise as usual it functions as any of Microsoft’s Wireless Controller’s do. Wonderful, the range is good, as usual, I am getting occasional interference which I assume is from my wireless keyboard and mouse receiver, my entertainment center is an array of PC, Console, Blu-ray, and audio components displayed by a 46″ LCD HD Bravia so I’m sure there is no work around for any interference.

I got one of these from BB because it was all they had. After a few charges it won’t hold a charge anymore. They are cheaper but your better off getting the Microsoft/Xbox brand.
