this looks pretty cool. Just came out on the 13th and might be nice for guys who have a decked out gaming center

Pretty nice but I don't know about $40+. And why is it for three controllers? Three? Weird.

I've never heard of that company either.

Why did I know twigg would whine about the price haha.

$40+ for some knock off third part company is steep. And I'm baffled about the three controllers. 2? Of course? 4? Fuck yeah! 3? Huh?

Because it's a battery charger....? Have you ever bought a normal one before? (not talking xbox ones)

Anything under 30 bucks gets you a piece of shit that may or may not set your house on fire after 6 months.

Hell this comes with its own battery pack and it looks like it's using the mat design for charging.

Whining about a $43 charger lulz. If I find a 5 cent off coupon for you I'll be sure to post it.

Seriously? Stop being an asshole. It's not about the price but the quality.

If this was a decent company it would be a great buy. Energizer. Duracell. Microsoft.

But this shit will probably explode or catch on fire in a week.

Its made by a company called CTA Digital who have been around for 18 years making all sorts of odd gaming shit. They make a PS3 version of this as well.

Stop being so cheap.

im pretty sure they made it for three controllers b/c they assume you will be playing the fourth as you charge your other three...

[Senators26]

Got this for about 35 couple years ago.

Please, you whine about xbox live going up $10. Everyone knows full well you are one of the cheapest people here.

Do you want an award for buying something that you generally can't heckle down the price?

Yeah, I'm the only one that thought it was a bullshit move. :shot:

I purchased the Xbox 360 Induction Charger through Amazon.com, and received the product last week. I've had some time to check it out.

The charger itself, as you can see below, holds 3 controllers at once.

The Good:
Value - The unit comes with 3 magnetic rechargeable packs made for the unit. Which is about a $60 value alone if comparing to Microsoft's Rechargeable Packs.
Simplicity - Done playing? Just drop the controller onto the magnetic pad and by the next time you pick it up, it'll be charged and ready to go.
Size - The unit itself is rather compact, and still manages to store 3 controllers.
Weight - The rechargeable units are mock AA Batteries, and weight a lot less. Having used M$'s rechargeable packs for a while I was stunned by the weight difference, but now I love how light the controller feels in my hand.

Dislikes:
The unit has LED indicator lights that light up red while charging, and green when charged. However they are barely noticeable. Probably it's better suited for a shadowed area.

Overall here's the breakdown.

If you need some new rechargeable batteries and are buying more than 1, its worth a purchase.

I give it a 4 out of 5.
