Which one did you go for?

So long as you have bought one of the current model 360s (4GB or 250GB "Slim"), then it already comes with a wireless controller.

If you want another, then yeah, I'd stick with the official MS ones. 3rd party controllers never seem that good, IMO.

Also, MS is releasing a new & improved 360 controller with a "transforming D-Pad". I'm not sure when it's out, though.

Battery life is fine.

Unlike the PS3 controllers, the 360 controllers don't have built-in rechargeable batteries. You need to use AAs (Alkaline or rechargeable) or get MS' own rechargeable batteries (via the Play & Charge kit or Quick Charge kit).

Game recommendations...

What kind of games do you like?

What other systems do you have which you game on? [No point me recommending something you've already got on PC or PS3!]
