If this review appears twice: Due to a technical error at Amazon my first review was not included in my review list (to prove just click my name) I have the wireless controller in continuous use. With a set of batteries (Varta Max Tech AA) held the controller almost 50 hours. This is by far the best controller I had been in his hands. Term After the battery pack is not yet available, I run the Wireless Controller with two rechargeable batteries. After about 30 hours of running time, I had not change these, which sufficiently guaranteed in any case play time in a session. Design I was very sekeptisch whether white geeiget for Chips and Cheetos finger - so far to no fat edges indicate the part. The color is a matter of taste, in any case, the pretty part fits harmoniously into the living room. Particularly positive: While my wife yet never forgot to complain about the "black things" the previous Xbox, fell so far no bad word to the controller. Handling Although I liked the smaller design with the old controllers rather, I always had to have recourse to the great controller for certain games like DOA, because just as the white and black key was attached to the top. Only then were certain combos (white, yellow, right lever) to run. The new additional buttons on the front of the new controller also makes complicated moves a breeze, as you can access everything very quickly with three fingers of one hand - small change with a big impact! All basic settings for the speed of the controller can be verädnern game individually, which makes handling the change between action games like Kameo, racing games like PGR3 or shooters like Perfect Dark Zero (incidentally: Genial !!!) very simplified. Operating Concept The new Xbox 360 is not just a game console but a complete multimedia suite. Not to be underestimated is the complexity of the settings. Thanks to the positive usability concept of Microsoft, all functions can be easily controlled with the buttons of the controller. (However, one must sometimes guess what the icons mean. So I had long puzzled to find out that you have to press the left stick to activate uppercase). All in all the new features of the dashboard, the Media page, etc. have been implemented very conclusive for this controller. Reach I play with a TV 82cm diagonal. As long as I can still see something on the screen, I can also play with the controller - alos least ten meters. Details The new X-button for starting and stopping is designed wisely. Because when the box is out, also, the controller switches off. Conclusion Of course you can also play with cables. But who still has one wish for Christmas, should the Christkind apply the Wireless Controller. Anyone who has played with it once, is like anything else - and that too without the steep expensive charging pack.
