After much careful thought and research, we decided to go wireless with our Xbox 360. What an awesome decision that was! I waited on a review to make sure that the wireless controllers all functioned properly, held their charge and could be played at all angles/distances up to 30ft from the TV and then some. To be on the safe side, I ordered one charge and play just in case one of the controllers went out during play. To date, it has not been needed. The controllers hold their charge just fine for all our gamers - and they tend to play up to 6 hours at a time. As to the quality of the controllers ... one was subjected to an English Springer Spaniel trying to use it as a chew toy and survived. Another was dropped on ceramic tile- when one player threw a fit- and showed no signs of damage. All 4 are still going strong months after use. I would definitely recommend going wireless for all families - especially if you have pets or young children running around that can trip on the cords. It's great for storing neatly away and not having to worry about cords being wrapped too tightly or getting tangled up. Amazon did have the best price at our time of purchase. I'm sure it's still the best deal now.

I'd love to give this five stars, but i can't. As much as it costs, the play and charge kit, in my opinion should be included. The battery life though is great with batteries lasting as long as 20 to 30 hours sometimes. The controller is comfortable to use and feels nice in your hands, not slippery, and not gritty either, it will stay in your hands no matter what game you're playing, even if you're sweating like crazy. On an even better note, it's quite a durable piece of equipment, i've dropped mine countless times, but here's the downfall. the battery case is weak. if it splits, the controller will stop functioning well, a shake or jerk will turn it off and you'll have to turn it back on. You can glue it back, but will take the chance of ruining it if you're not careful. One more problem is that the controller has a very weak d-pad, it's not sensitive to be of any use in a game, it seems to lag and will often seem to ignore quick subsequent commands. Seeing as though you tend to use the joystick now more than the d-pad its not a problem so much. But menu navigating can be irritating if you use the d-pad. It also makes fighters sluggish and problematic. But the layout makes for great shooters,and great racing titles. Unfortunately there is one more issue with this controller. You can't leave it sit. What i mean is the controller needs to recieve a command within 10-15 minutes or it will shut off, that can be problematic while waiting for an event to pop up in some games or viewing replays and the like. The console will freeze up and exclaim the controller is missing and must be restarted before continuing. its a great controller, but i'd recommend the wired one, if you need more space than the cord can give then this is a good option. just jiggle the stick every once and a while to keep it from turning off when you need it on and are watching something.

The most important thing about this controller is its color, pink. There are other colors available, but if you have a girl gamer in the house (I have two, my daughter and wife), then this will certainly make them happy. My daughter is thrilled to have her own controller, and she's especially happy about the color. Color-coded controllers also have an additional plus -- if both players pause a game and leave the room, each player knows exactly which controller is "his" or "hers" when they return.
Out of the box, the controller is easy to setup. The multi-language instruction sheet lists the simple steps you need to take to synchronize the controller with the console, so if you've never had to do this, it should not be that difficult. Microsoft includes 2 AA batteries with this, so you are ready to go as soon as you cut the controller out of the packaging.
The A, B, X, and Y buttons seemed a little more stiff than the original controller I have, but only time will tell if that's because it is new or because Microsoft has made a design change to the hardware. Otherwise, it's a quality product that works right out of the package exactly as expected, with no surprises.

Does exactly what it was designed to do. Perfect compatibility for great wireless play. Aesthetically pleasing in black.
