The link above will take you to Datel (codejunkies) website. They are a UK company, based in Stoke-on-Trent and make console accessories. They are offering the play and charge for xbox 360 on the uk site for £14.99, now heres the thing - they are offering it to US customers at $14.99. We are being ripped off I hear you say! But wait, here's the good thing. You can change the currency on the UK site to $ dollars and you too can get them at that price! When you add them to the checkout you can get them delivered free too!
I just got my four today and they cost £34.43 instead of £59.97.

Most other items are at the appropriate exchange rate but these aren't for some reason.

Enjoy!

    Personally, the P&C kit gives me 28 to 30 hours of gameplay per charge, whereas rechargeable batteries only provided 18-20.

    Please don't rubbish other people's opinnions.

    Disagree.

    I get longer battery charge life with these plus, and a big plus for people who don't play their xbox2 that much, you can charge whilst playing.
