Exspect Xbox 360 Gaming Headset Unboxing

If you’ve ever played Xbox Live you’ll know the value of using a headset, especially in team games. Not only does it make the game easier but also a lot more fun…as long as there is no screaming kid down the other end. Exspect have sent me their version to unbox and review but will Exspect’s headset at a lower price live up to the quality of the Microsoft alternative?

Xbox 360 Elite Console 09/10 Unboxing

With my other 360 breaking, then getting an Elite and a couple of games was a good option. The Elite boxing has changed this year so I thought it would be a good idea to get this out to you guys who may be interested in getting one. You’ll see some differences like the lack of HDMI cable etc. from earlier packages of the Elite.  Enjoy and Merry Christmas!

Exspect Xbox 360 Drop ‘N’ Charge Kit Unboxing

48581959Wireless gaming controllers are the norm now and everyone knows it comes as a shock when halfway through an online game you’re faced with the problem of a dead battery.  With the Xbox 360 you can either very expensively replace the AA batteries every time, or get a rechargeable battery pack.  I opted for the latter because it seemed the most efficient way and I’ve used it ever since the launch of the 360.  However times have changed and I’m getting annoyed at all the wires and this is where the Exspect Xbox 360 Drop N Charge Kit comes in. Simply place your Xbox 360 controller on the pad and bingo it charges straightaway wirelessly. Awesome right?

So here’s the unboxing. In the kit you get the Dual Action Pad, allowing two devices to be simultaneously charged. Then there is the special Xbox 360 rechargeable battery which you need for the special wireless charging process to take place -- it won’t work on any standard battery! You can also get this kit for the Nintendo Wii controllers and the Wii Fit battery so if you have one of those don’t forget to check them out.  You also get the USB charge cable and also the USB AC Adapter allowing you to choose which method of power you want.

I’d like to thank Exspect.co.uk for allowing me to receive this product to review, so check out their website for other great gadgets ranging from your iPod and laptop to your gaming console of choice!  Rest assured the review of the Xbox 360 Drop ‘N’ Charge kit will be up soon!
