Xbox 360 Limited Edition Red Wireless Controller and Play & Charge Kit

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. 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.

Amazon continues to rock the pricing on this and other MS gear, and this controller is no exception.Simply put it's cheaper here than anywhere else.The controller itself is great as well, standard 360 style albeit with a red color. It also has a matching red re-chargeable battery pack which I use with a quick charge kit. The battery lasts a long time, I was impressed. I also have a black controller, and a white controller. I let the kids play with those two and keep this one for myself. (yes. that's how I roll)Price = A+Quality = A+Shipping = A+Item = A+What else can I say, great deal, great item.

Microsoft has finally started to give us some more color choices for the 360 controllers, and our first color is a good one. The Red Wireless 360 Controller really looks fantastic. This is your standard 360 controller, so the high quality hasn't changed. But it is nice to finally have a different color controller, especially if you plan to take this to another 360 owners home. Having something thats both easy to spot, and completely different from what most people have is a nice advantage. Also a great add-in is the inclusion of the Play-n-charge Kit. This includes a red rechargeable battery, and a charging cable, saving you tons in battery costs. The unfortunate thing, is because it includes the Play-n-Charge kit, Microsoft tacked 20 bucks to the price, making this a $70 controller. Plus on top of that premium, your still stuck with the standard D-pad, which is not that great. Over all great package, if not a tad bit expensive.Pros:+Cool Color+Easy to Spot+Play-n-Charge includedCons:-Expensive-D-pad still poor

This control is great; however, if you're looking to being able to recharge your control and play on for hours on end, you're in for a different story. It seems that the battery is a piece of crap, it holds charge for awhile then turns off or discharges very quickly and your control turns off at random points while you're playing. So I'll be buying some rechargeable batteries for this control as I was very dissapointed with the Play & Charge Kit.

I LOVE my red controller! It's soooo pretty that it's sexy! HA!I have mixed feelings about the charge and play kit though.It is indeed better than buying disposable batteries but the kit "hums" into my headset while connected for charge during game play. Sometimes it makes my mic stop working in game and I have to "reset" my console to get my mic to work again, yep, turn it off and on again. This has happened with both charge and play kits I've purchases on both of my consoles (the cute little arcade version AND the bold beautiful Modern 2 version). BUT it doesn't happen ALL of the time, just sometimes, which is more than enough when I'm playing with friends! Right!?! It is better than constantly buying batteries though...for real! BUT...I think I'll take Jason C. Hill's advice from the regular charge and play kit, just buy rechargeable batteries instead of a kit.But!!! I can use batteries with this too so I'm keeping my red controller!!!It works just as well as the other controllers for xbox but this one is prettier. =)

So, I bought this red limited edition controller to replace my last one that broke after a long time of use, and I was extremely disappointed. It cost me $83 to get a defective controller that doesn't even have a rechargeable battery pack. My last controller was of good quality, with rechargeable battery & cord, and was consistent (as in buttons). The 'A' on the 'A'-button is white [for some reason], and all of the buttons feel extremely frail and cheap. I've never ordered anything online I was so disappointed in, and I order A LOT. I wish I could return it, but I jumped the gun in excitement [to replace my lucky red controller], and I threw away the box and packaging it came in before I realized the rip-off merchandise I got. THE WORST PROBLEM ABOUT THE CONTROLLER IS THAT NO MATTER HOW MANY FRESH BATTERIES YOU ROTATE THROUGH IT, IT ALWAYS "FLICKERS" THAT THE CONTROLLER IS DYING AND FREQUENTLY SHUTS OFF!!!! PURE GARBAGE THAT COST ME OVER A DAYS WORTH OF WORK! FIND A DIFFERENT LEGIT SELLER!! Who ever made my first red-controller, THANK YOU, because it was awesome and took a lot of beatings; I wish I could find another one like it without getting ripped-off!--I digress. Have a wonderful day!

Nice addition to the Xbox 360. Great price to boot.

Very good controller, similar to the look and feel of the controller that is included with the xbox. Overall it preforms very good.

I received the Red Xbox 360 controller on time. However, the so-called rechargeable battery does not charge. We can still use it as a wired controller and still have the battery option, but was hoping to using the rechargeable battery to save on AAs.

Controller was in pretty good condition even though it was used. I had to open it an and clean up a bit one of the triggers that was sticking but once I did that the controller performed great. Saved some money and got a controller in very good condition overall.

Battery cover is slightly too big so every once in awhile the controller shuts off if battery moves
