Xbox 360 Controller

The Xbox 360 controller is the main controller of Xbox 360 developed by Microsoft. This controller was first released in the market in 2005 and is available as both wireless and wired gamepads. The Xbox 360 controller was introduced separately for Xbox 360 as the original Xbox controller was not compatible with the new version. The wired controller can easily be attached to a USB hub or any USB port on the Xbox console. The wireless controller, on the other hand, works with rechargeable batteries or AA batteries.

There are several accessories for Xbox 360 controller, provided as a kit including Battery Pack, Quick Charger and, Play and Charge cable. The Battery Pack is a one of the best accessories for Xbox 360 and a gamers’ delight, providing up to 25 hours of uninterrupted gaming. It is made of nickel metal hydride and is highly recommended instead of the ‘use and throw’ AA batteries.

On the other hand, Play and Charge kit recharges the controller even when the game is on, done by plugging the wireless controller to a USB port. It also enables you to play without a battery, using direct charging, but, this method is not recommended due to safety hazards involved in case the battery compartment remains open.

Similar to Xbox 360, one can attach upto 4 headsets and controllers at the same time. This device has a 2 meter long USB cable and has a range of up to 10 meters. Though it comes with a Games for Windows symbol on it, it works well with all types of games that support a PC gamepad.

The next in line of accessories for Xbox 360 is the messenger kit, which includes a mini keyboard used for messaging via Xbox Live Windows Live Messenger. This was released in the market in 2007 an has a wired headset and Chatpad, but the two cannot be connected. Another snag is that the Chatpad is not currently available as an attachment for PC due to lack of installation drivers. The same may be released in future making it compatible with Windows PC as well.

Though most of these accessories are compatible with PC, some still need to be worked on by Microsoft. With emerging demand of more fantastic accessories for Xbox 360, Microsoft is sure to release some fantastic ones in future, for the ultimate gaming experience.

Xbox 360 Wireless Adapter

The best part of Xbox 360 wireless adapter is the dual band functionality, which means it can support two frequencies at a time. Though 802.11g is the widely used Wi-Fi bandwidth, it utilizes the same band as used by cordless telephones and microwave ovens. This may result in some interference, though it depends where your Xbox 360 is placed with reference to other gadgets using the same bandwidth. In case your router enables use of 802.11a, which works well within a range of 5 GHz, it is the best option you might have.

Also the compact size of this adapter makes it a must have accessory for your Xbox 360, especially if you are into network gaming.

There is no need to get it configured through a PC, just plug into your Xbox 360 and start gaming. Though small in size, the bandwidth and signal strength of Xbox 360 wireless adapter is simply outstanding. It provides uninterrupted signal even in presence of other appliances such as a cordless phone and microwave oven. It is an ideal accessory for Xbox 360 fully compatible with Xbox 360 wireless controller, providing glitch free output.

Generally signal from a Wi-Fi network depends on the building from where the adapter is being operated. In case of Xbox 360, the Wi-Fi capability too is fantastic, providing excellent signal strength even at long distance.

I am plotting to buy a XBOX 360.

Because of RED RING OF DEATH, I am really frightened to buy one. Obviously, I don’t wanna spend my hard earned money on something that is going to get broken down in 1 year. I heard some rumors that MS(Microsoft) fixed this problem. Is this even right?

What should I do? Should I buy XBOX 360?

THANK YOU
