 X Box 360 controller November 25, 2007

My example of this controller broke after 13 months because the headset connection appears to very flimsy and the central pin in the controller broke. This breakage rendered both the controller and the headset useless.
I had to buy another controller (wired this time) and a new headset. I beleive that Microsoft should carry put a design review.

I really hated M$ until I played on the xBox 360. The controller is really comfortable and IMO the best product Microsoft has ever created.

Even though its not as inventive as the wii remote, it is very confortable to hold, and has a brilliant range. The rumble is quite powerfull, and the fact that headphones ect plug into it saves alot of wires.

I don't really know how to rate the 'fun' aspect of this controller, I gave it 3 because I've never had any problems with my controller and if I had problems then I would give it less, but anyway, 3 will do!
I'm gonna rate this controller on a few aspects that I think are necessary, so here goes:
Comfort: As far as holding a controller goes, this controller is the most comfortable I have ever used. Its ergonomic design couldn't have been done better in my opinion! For people with larger or smaller hands the controller compensates in its curves to allow use for everyone. Kudos to Microsofts R&D team for this.
Ease of Use: The buttons are just in the right places, and have a great feel to them. Also to note, the analoque joysticks are perfect, the surface is dented and small grips have been placed in them for complete ease of use. Easily another 5/5 rating for this part.
Battery Life: I can't measure this in specifics for you guys, especially as it depends which batteries you use. My recommendation would be to buy a set of 2800mah rechargeable AA batteries and a charger, this will give you the best cost/use ratio. Generally though, for being wireless the battery life is consistently long enough!
Durability: This thing is tough, I've dropped mine countless times and faithfully it always works. Microsoft have made this controller so that nothing can drop off or break easily, save for the attachable headset (which breaks almost too easily)
Features/Alternate uses: No motion sensing? I don't really see this as a problem, but I know some people will. Also, the ability to add a headset to it is useful, although it does tether you to the controller. I'd prefer a bluetooth headset. Using the controller for movies is ok, it isn't ideal of course but it does the job.
Cost: Yes, it's a little pricey I suppose, but for the benefits of having a wireless controller, and even just the benefit of having a second one to multiplay with mates, it easily pays for itself!
Conclusion: Obviously, I don't expect this review to be the 'be all and end all' of reviews but I hope it aids as many of you as it needs to. I do rate this controller very highly, and I do believe that if you need one or are just looking for a wireless controller for yourself or for multiplayer then it's really worth it. Enjoy!
