    360's wireless controllers???

    Can the 360s wireless controllers be WIRED to the system so if you don't have the play-n-charge kit you won't have to be buying new AA batteries every 2 (or less) damn weeks???

    negative at this time, but really cant see why they couldnt build something that changes that.

    i hate wireless myself, they lag just a fraction of a sec sometimes. go wired ocntrollers.

    its basically a connection for the headset and somethin else i think is a wired control thats sold seperatly that fits into the usb port....i think.

    basically the batterys last 15 hours -ish you get you console out, turn it on, turn the controller on and press a little round search button on the 360, then the same button on the controller between the lb and rb buttons and the connection is made and its all gameing from there, but yeah im getting a charger too.

    duracel must be way richer since last november, cus lets face it who bought the core version?

    the plug and play kit is only $20. it's really not that bad.

    as for the lag, even with the AA batteries in i've never picked up any lag with the wireless units.

    yeah ive never experienced any lag either

    question though that revolves around this subject, i bought a 2nd wireless and why is it that the one that came with the 360 will only turn it on? i was under the impression that any wireless would

    I haven't had any problems with the wireless, either. I've had my system for about a week and haven't changed my batteries. I'm not sure what the batter life is, but I believe the rechargeable packs have 25 hrs of life. I bought a charger pack and a spare rechargeable battery at a reasonable price.

    Once any other controller is synched to your 360 it will turn it on with no problems. I've brought my controller with me to my nephew's & turned their 360 on with my controller. They just have to be synched .

    On another note, if you have more then 1 rechargeable battery you can pick up this:

    Good way to charge 2 batteries at a time.

    weird. that's the first i've head of this. try leaving that new controller on. i know with the bluetooth interface thet the controller does need to eb synced the console, but after that's done you should be fine. if the problem persists i'd return the controller.

    whoops you beat me to it.

    on another note, i'm debating grabbing that multi charger this weekend. it's only 29.99 at gamestop so it seems worth it.
