Well, I'm planning to get the Xbox 360 Premium soon, and I had a few questions about the battery pack.
As many of you know, the Xbox 360 Premium comes with a wireless controller, but the thing is, it doesn't come with a rechargeable batter, only 2 AA's, which is kind of a pain. Now, I was planning to get this Microsoft Play & Charge Kit for $19.99, BUT the Xbox 360 has to be on to charge it since it plugs into the Xbox 360's USB ports, which is a pain because I would be spending most of the time playing wired. So, my question is, will it work if I just plug it in to my computer's USB port, or even on my iPod wall charger? Would it ruin the product, or should I not risk it and go for the Nyko Charge Station, which comes with a charger that doesn't require the Xbox 360 on to charge, and it comes with two battery packs instead of one.
