Went around searching for wireless controllers nad play and charge in Brum, nowhere seemed to have any anyway... I ended up ordering an over the top pirce wireless pad from Argos, as they were the only people that actually had stock.

Scissors? lol i know the feeling though mate, imagine how people get on who suffer from arthritis.

Everything's the same, i think they seal them that way to stop people nicking them out the security coded packages in shops.

It was annoying, I got my wireless pad today, had to use a mahoosive pair of scissors to cut it open :p

I'm sure there's a good reason for it, probably protects the hardware reasonably well, can stack them in shops / hang them, and also use the packaging as a murder weapon once you've got the hardware out :p

I'm finding it ironic that at any given time I can find pretty much every 360 accessory in stork around my local area bar the one I want...... A BLOOMIN VGA LEAD :(

Its marketing, M$ are due to release the official finger patch and repair kit consisting of a wireless anti-septic wipe and a usb plaster :eek:

To be fair your probably right, I wasn't going to bother getting one and instead just stock up on premium batteries when I saw them on BOGOF's. Only advantage is that your not going to run out of juice mid game.

Unlikely you would do that, thinking how long a MS wireless mouse and keyboard last these days. Be a real bummer though. Doesn't the light change color or flash when the batteries are dying, can't remember.

Anyway TRU seem to have a fair few accesories in stock in p&C kits last time i looked.

Great, thanks guys, just ordered one charge kit, and a battery for the other controller.

Yes you could use rechargable batteries, but its not as easy. And its all about the gadgets for me :)

I ordered a VGA cable from SimplyGames, still waiting for it to be sent out. :(
