Excellent!
This was one of my best purchases for the 360 to date. You will save SO much $$ on batteries by using the play and charge kit..

ok/ bt not great
you'd rather buy an electric charger but this is not bad, if you really need it.

Beware: Some play and charge kits have problems actually charging the batteries
I bought my play and charge kit when I first bought the system. It worked wonderfully the first few times. You plug it in when you are playing and it will slowly charge the battery. However, after not playing for awhile, when I went to charge up the battery it wouldn't charge anymore. The controller was definitely connected to the 360 as I could play the games while connected.
However, the battery light indicator on the controller would glow red, to indicate it was charging, for about five minutes. Then it would turn green to signify that it charged the battery completely. I thought that perhaps it was charging, despite the light not being red, but that was not so.
I kept it plugged to the 360 while playing for a couple of hours, and then tried playing wirelessly. 5 minutes later, the controller died.
Ultimately, I think it is more of a problem with the batteries than the cord itself. I bought an extra battery to go with my white controller and it suffered the same problems.
I seem to be one of the few that have had this problem, and they are not too expensive, but be warned that this problem does occur.

works as described
pros: long cable and easy to use. Can also plug into the USB port on the computer and have the drivers downloaded through windows update for charging through the computer.
cons: sometimes doesn't charge because not plugged in properly. removing from the controller requires pulling on the cable; don't know how long this will last.

Works as described
Rechargeable battery and charge cable to hook up to the 360. Play plugged in till the light goes out then play wirelessly. Doesn't charge when the 360 is off.
