\"\"<\/a>I was playing Rainbow Six: Vegas and the guys I was playing with were discussing why they would use the Wired Xbox 360 Controller<\/a>. Personally. I can’t see a reason to use one, but one of the guys was adamant that the wired controller is better because he doesn’t have to buy batteries. The rest of us in the room all laughed at him because the convenience of a wireless controller is well worth the small cost of batteries. I personally have 2 wireless controllers. Also, I have the Play and Charge Kit<\/a> and a rechargeable battery for each controller. This way I can have one controller that I’m using and the other one can be charging, if it needs to be. A lot of the guys I was playing with said they preferred to use rechargeable AA batteries because they can use them in stuff besides their controllers as well.<\/p>\n

The discussion got me wondering, what do most Xbox 360 players use for their controllers? I can think of about 5 different possibilities.
– Play & Charge from Microsoft
– Quick Charge Kit from Microsoft
– Regular Batteries
– Rechargeable Batteries
– Wired Controller
If you have an Xbox 360 leave a comment and let me know what controller you use and how you power it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
