Xbox 360 gets some base-charging love from Nyko

Nyko has announced the release of an Xbox 360-compatible charging base, much like the PlayStation 3 one the company debuted almost two months ago.

The Nyko Charge Base 360 comes with two NiMH rechargeable batteries fitted with contact points that allow you to simply drop the controller into the included cradle. The base can charge one battery in 2 hours and two in 4. Nyko says that each full battery charge should net you about 25 hours of play time.

Microsoft offers a Quick Charge Kit for AU$34.95 that only comes with one battery and charges a single pack in 3 hours.

The Nyko Charge Base 360 will retail for US$35 and is available now on its website. A limited-edition black-and-gold version of the Charge Base is available now, with only 200 produced.

Looks good to me. But I'd already have a quick charge kit so this is a bit exessive.

      Too Human

      Too Human is a game of false starts and unrealised potential that infiltrate almost every aspect of the game. This action/role-playing hybrid is too unbalanced and too frustrating to recommend.
