Go Wireless - Xbox 360 Wireless Controllers

Back in the old days, wires were tangled everywhere. The remote to the VCR was connected through a ridiculously long wire. The television remote was connected through more wires. And even the phone was connected with wires. There was no such thing as mobility; you were confined to the designated use area.

Even after the advent of the video game console, wires still prevailed. No, forget that comfortable recliner parked on the other side of the room. A player could only go as far from the television as his or her game console-to-controller wires would allow. Oh how things have changed with the advent of technology!

Now you can go Wireless. Introducing the Xbox 360 Wireless Controllers

The Xbox 360 is not the first console to offer wireless controllers. Sony did it with the Playstation and the Playstation 2. Microsoft did it with its original Xbox. So what sets the Xbox 360 apart from the rest of the video game wireless controllers?

The first distinction is the controller. An Xbox 360 wired controller has a cord range of up to nine feet. The cordless controller has a staggering thirty feet of range! This allows the gamer the versatility of being able to move around freely, while still playing the game.

The second difference is in the actual unit itself. The Xbox 360 is designed to be able to link to other Xbox 360’s. This means that there can be a whopping sixteen wireless controllers playing together at the same time! The wireless detector on the Xbox 360 detects and assigns controllers to its specific system and there is no confusion as to the position assigned, whether controller number one, two, three, etc.

Xbox 360 is not just about wireless controllers. With its Live platform, the Xbox 360 can also be fitted with a Wireless Networking Adapter. What does this mean? It gives it the same portability for connecting as a laptop has. That is the beauty of being produced by a major software and hardware corporation. It offers dual band (meaning that there is an alternative to the typical Wi-Fi) and it does not rely on an external power source. The adapter is configured to allow for Xbox 360 Live or the Xbox Link system. This versatility makes it very appealing to the avid gamer.

There is nothing wrong with using a wired controller. Many players chose not to invest in this added convenience. But for those out there who do, a whole new world of mobility opens up. When considering the cost, understand that with the Xbox 360 wireless controllers there is no worry of yanking wires and breaking the game console due to carelessness or over-excitement.
