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.

The battery pack is much more convenient than reloading batteries all the time. Also, it comes with the pack to use standard batteries, if you need it. If you buy this product get it from amazon.com, you WILL pay more going to your local walmart or gamestore.

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!

This device and sub-components works as expected. As I prefer not to waste batteries, this bundle was an excellent choice for my gaming needs.

Hey all this is Sam AKA Para in the gaming review community. This is one of many gaming reviews I will be starting for Amazon, so I hope you enjoy. Going to be talking about the Xbox 360 Limited Edition Red Wireless Controller and Play & Charge Kit which I have to say feels well. It is sort of light but durable. After playing for long hours I notice no pain in my hands, just the way the designed this controller it just fits right in your hands and is not stressing out you muscles or having you to curve your hands around it just to hold it. The vibration feedback is very well and is not super strong that it feels like a back massager or making your hands go numb, but it is not also so weak that you cannot even feel it. It gives just the right amount. The triggers are in just the right position and have the perfect lift to them for easy access. The joy sticks are perfectly assessable and once again do not strain your hands trying to use them. Battery life is not the best though, it could use a slight improvement but that is minor. I suggest if you don't need the vibration to turn it off and save battery. Overall the controller is very nice and easy to use. Good work Microsoft for changing the hamburger shaped Xbox controller to this much easier to handle one. Hope this review helps and look forward for my other game reviews.

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.

An easy way to save the extra batteries in the house for other items. The controller is charged via the XBOX provided USB port and the cable is 9 feet long, enough to stretch to either sofa in my living room. As stated, you can indeed play while the controller charges. Long story short, it is very convenient and the kids don't have to salvage the extra batteries from the TV remote to play and was still $10 cheaper to buy here than it was in any of the local stores, even after shipping! It is also not the ugly white color so it can hide in the entertainment center.

This product retails for $20-30 more in stores than I paid on amazon. My husband loves the wireless remote and the charge does last for a long time. Product arrived in a timely manner in excellant conditin.

This is such a bargain! You can't hardly buy a controller for $50 let alone a controller, battery, and plug and play charger.

Great product, I was looking for this item long time ago, finally I got it and it is a great item.
Wirelles controller + battery and charger all in 1
