Hello All! Today I’ve got another Xbox360 accessory review for you, this one though is for your
controllers. Buying the charge and play kits can be expensive, and it’s cheaper to just buy a battery by itself as we know. The problem here is that you’ll need at least one charging cable, and then if you’ve got four controllers you have to share that cable with all of them so charging can take quite a while.
Konnet has sent me over the Power Pyramid Xbox360 Controller Charging Station for review today. The Power Pyramid can charge four controllers at one time, and comes with a power supply so you don’t have to worry about USB ports. It’s a product that looks good, and works well, it’s great accompaniment to your Xbox360…

So today Mass Effect 2 has been released and I thought I’d share the super duper mega deluxe edition I got with you!
It’s a joke of course, it’s just a display promo box that I got from a friend.. but it’s cool nonetheless.. What I’m going to do with it now though I’m not sure…
Most of the reviews we’ve done here are games, but I think it’s time we got started with some accessory reviews as well. MobileFun is a company based out of the UK and they carry mobile stuff like phones and accessories. They also carry game related products so they sent me over a nice little, inexpensive starter kit for the Xbox360 for review. It’s aptly named the Xbox 360 Starter Pack and it includes a nice long HDMI cable, full sized headset and a remote that is similar to the Xbox one but only smaller. The price is about $30, so that’s basically $10 for each part of the pack and that’s not a bad price really. So read on to learn more…
