I hear all the time that the rechargeable batteries w/ the kit thingy is more money efficient than buying just normal batteries. I couldnt seem to find any numbers or hard proof of how much more efficient they are so does anyone have any numbers from personal experience etc?

thanks

What do you mean numbers and cold hard fact? Stop being a fool and just buy the plug n play kit.

Rechargeable battery packs are, what, $12 or something? I'm not exactly sure how much 2 AA batteries are, but I'm pretty sure you'll make up the cost in a few months. I have had the same battery pack for over a year now, still works.

AA batterys you get about 25-30 hours depending on how good the batterys are

plug and play you get around 15-20 hours

Well i bought rechargable batteries with a charger for $16. It comes with 4 batteries and so far i've used my first two batteries for around 22 hours. So they'll last about 80-100 chargers at around 20 hours. That's 90x20x2(4 batteries)=3,600 hours.

How many times can I recharge the battery pack for w/ the Play and Charge Kit?

So I'm guessing the batterypack lasts a long time then..

at least with the plug and play you dont actually have to take the batteries out of the controller.
