Charge time is too slow3
Since this charger charges via usb the charge time is a little slow, you can conect the cable to a computer or charge it y while you play...
I didnt give it five stars or four because i never seen completly charge, never seend the light of the cable turn green or turned off...
The battery can lats like a week charged playing two hours daily, if it was me i would pay alittle more and go for the XBOX 360 QUICK CHARGE KIT that can cahrge teo batteries at once...

also agood thing of the play and charge kit it comes with a batterie

Not exactly as advertised, but still a good purchase4
First of all, despite what it says on the packaging, you will NOT get 25 hours of play on one charge; more like 5 or 6. Second, the charge indicator is inaccurate and inconsistent: sometimes it'll say it's full when it's actually almost dry, and other times it'll say it's running low when the charge is actually okay.

Not that it's too big of a problem, because when the controller is actually running low on charge, the lights around the Xbox Guide Button will begin flashing. As you're playing, you'll notice the flashing lights out of your peripheral vision. That's when you pause your game, look down at your controller, and see it's crying for more power. You simply plug the cord into either USB port on the 360 and you're set! The light on the charger will be red as long as the controller is still charging, and when it turns green you know it's full.

Overall, I'm very happy with my charger and it's already paid for itself in all the money I've saved in not having to continuously buy more batteries. If you have a cordless controller, this product is pretty much a must-have.

Happy with the Play and Charge kit!5
The Play and Charge kits kick the crap out of using batteries. If you don't have these buy two now! Unfortunately, the 360 only has 2 USB Ports so buying more than 2 is useless. Enjoy though!
