Xbox One controller charge kit and headset details

4.3
With the new console arriving in November, Microsoft have released details on the Play and charge kit, and also the new Microphone that has been established.

The Play and Charge kit includes a rechargeable battery pack, and a USB adapter that plugs into the Xbox One. This lets you charge the controller while playing your game, or when the console is in sleep/standby mode.

The Microphone contains pitch perfect wideband audio, and lets you mute or adjust the volume without having to take your hands off of your controller. There has been no confirmation about the microphone being included with the console yet. It was included with the 1st generation Xbox 360 back when it was released.

TheBigLebowski you probably have to hook the controller up to the internet or it wont work


It's sad all Sony fan boys have to talk **** about it connecting online every 24 hours, when 90% of the people are connected anyways when they are playing.


They might not all be Sony fanboys, they could very much be Microsoft fanboys who are displeased with the Xbox One.


I still don't get why people hate it the things the always online is going to be used for is fantastic but w/e floats your boat


I hate that if it doesnt connect to the internet its a $500 paper weight, I can still use my pc if it doesnt have internet. Yes I am connected to the internet but there are times here and there the net goes down, then what I cant even play my xbox??


I do remember hearing it connects once per 24 hours and if no connection is established it will try once a hour until it gets a connection.


But still if your internet goes out and you would like to play offline you can't after those 24 hours pass.

I'm not that much of a gamer anymore so this truly isn't an issue for me.

What I'll like to know is if wireless headset will still work seeing how it syncs up with the console not the controller.

It's the principle though.

That shouldn't even be a feature.

It's like you have to check in with your parents to play online, it's stupid...

Ache Pretty cool, but can't you already charge a controller and play at the same time on the 360?


Yeah but maybe this won't overcharge the batteries and will shut off after they're fully charged so you don't ruin them. I have left the batteries charging for about 12 hours straight and actually one of the packs had all this corrosion all over it(I think the batteries blew up inside or something.)
