message: In reading the article, I can't work out what the advantage would be to using an external HD-DVD drive through the X-Box 360, as opposed to simply connecting an HD-DVD drive directly to the TV or receiver.  Does anyone know and can the article be clarified? Johntex\talk 06:54, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: HD-DVD

message: 1.  Is the Xbox 360 HD DVD Player compatible with 360 Elite?
2.  Is the Xbox Fishing Rod Controller compatible with Xbox 360?
3.  Is Rapala Pro Fishing for Xbox compatible with abovementioned fishing reel controller on Xbox 360?
4.  Is The House of the Dead III for Xbox and light guns compatible with Xbox 360 and big screen TVs?
Anyway, I just think answers to the above and similar compatibility questions would be helpful in the article.  Best, --164.107.223.217 04:13, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Compatibility stuff worth mentioning

message: I made several changes to the article just now - although the page may look very different no information was removed. Here's the changes I made if anyone is curious:
New Sections- 
*AV Connection, Universal Remote, and HD DVD Player are now under a "Media" section. Someone could come up with a better name for this.
*The headset and vision camera and network adapter are now under an "Xbox Live" accessories section.
*I also moved the Chatpad accessory under controller section since that's what it relates to (plugs into the bottom of one). 
Re-arranging - Previously the accessories seemed to be listed in a random order. I moved them together where possible - the universal media remote is now listed right under the HD DVD drive for example. Faceplates are least important/popular and don't relate to anything so I moved it to the bottom. In the controllers section I moved the actual accessories to the top, and the note on cross-platform compatibility to the bottom of the section.
If anyone has problems with this new order, discuss it here. SeanMooney 21:41, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Proposed move to Xbox 360 accessories 

message: Reading the first sentence of the article got me thinking. There are many alternatives to the accessories listed here and also no third party accessories are mentioned like the intercoolers. They too are accessories arent they??. If anyone has any objections or suggestions let me know or in a few days I will add some of the third party accessories to this page.

replies: text: I think we should list only first party (official Microsoft) accessories - the way it is now the page is too big and it's confusing having them mixed in. Maybe break the third party accessories off into a separate page? Or at least put them all in a paragraph near the bottom. SeanMooney 21:07, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

message: This article looks like someone got lazy and just copied-and-pasted the advertisements from the accessories directly into the page. I added the advert tag to the top of this article in the hopes of it being rewritten by a user with first hand knowledge.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by SwiftGeneration (talk • contribs) 09:14, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: If there is any direct copy-pasting of large chunks of copyrighted text, then there definitely needs to be some rewriting. It seems like you're advocating original research, though. Could you elaborate on what exactly your concerns are? Dancter 14:53, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Article needs major work...

message: Has anyone been able to find any information on the soundcard that's built into the regular Xbox 360 (Wireless) Controller? I suppose with the plug-and-play-ness it doesn't matter much on the Xbox 360, but it is interesting for when it's connected to a PC. I'm assuming it works like any other USB headset, but have no idea about the brand of soundcard, sound quality, stereo capabilities, et cetera. Could someone add this information (along with a source reference)? Thanks! Retodon8 (talk) 08:33, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Controller soundcard

message: Rechargable battery pack: It is recommended in place of disposable AA batteries (which differ slightly in voltage).
NiMH Rechargeable AAs: Simple rechargeable NiMH AA batteries are the exact same voltage as the battery pack available from Microsoft. In fact, all that is in the battery pack are two 1800mAh AA cells giving up to 1800 mAh at 2.4v.[citation needed] On the other hand, two 2500mAh rechargeable AAs in the standard battery holder will give up to 2500mAh @ 2.4v, lasting approximately 50% longer.[citation needed] A charger with 4 x 2500mAh AAs can be purchased for $20, which gives the ability to power two controllers, or one controller while another set is always charged, for the same price as a Microsoft "Play and Charge" kit. 
Looks like someone had a bit of a fight on the article; but I'm not sure whether real batteries and the pack have the same voltage, so I can't fix it.

replies: text: I've been meaning to do this myself for a while now but have never go around to it, so go right ahead. One thing I would say though is it should probably be called "Rhythm game peripherals" (since it will probably include mics as well, which aren't controllers, and the games are referred to throughout Wikipedia as rhythm games, not music games). If you do it, don't forget the wireless mics for Lips. Alphathon /'æl.f'æ.ðɒn/ (talk) 13:49, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

message: Can anyone upload a picture of the full UMR to the page, alongside the short one please. I have created a 'gallery' so that flow isnt ruined by having both pictures on the page.
Also, photos might help for the following (majority of accessories in fact):
*Wired headset
*Steering Wheel
*Arcade Stick
*Wireless network adapter
*Crossfire wireless gaming receiver
*Memory unit
*Faceplate

message: I don’t think word of the Newton controller project should go in the article until there is official confirmation and details from Microsoft.
It is way too early and we have to wait for it to become official. Same thing with the 60-Gig hard drive and future motherboards (Jasper, Opus and Valhalla).
I am actually one of the sources backing up on MTV News’s reporting on the Newton project.--8bitJake (talk) 21:53, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

message: It seems important to note that while the out-of-the-box headset is convenient, it only supports voice communication. To hear music and sound effects, another peripheral is needed. It's not always practical (and kind to neighbors) to crank up the home theater to hear every footfall--headphones sure would be nice. The only headset I could find that supports game music/sounds and voice communication is the Tritton AX360 (USD 100.00). Game sounds are particularly important for first-person shooters, where it pays to be able to hear an opponent sneaking up behind you. Meonkeys (talk) 04:40, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: headset only does voice

message: The article states that "It should be noted that standard Xbox 360 wired headsets cannot connect to the chatpad due to the lack of the side pins". However, I purchased a 60GB "Pro" edition of the 360 and the headset that it came with had the in-line mute/volume features, making it exactly the same as that which comes with the chatpad. Could someone verify and change this?
Thanks.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.33.124.47 (talk) 18:43, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

message: There is no mention of it in the page. I don't know much about it, only that it exists. If someone has the time, adding it would be nice. I'll have a look around and see if I can find enough info.

thread_title:  prices 

message: Hi all. I've been thinking; why is the chatpad, wireless receiver etc listed on Xbox 360 Controller more prominently than in here? To me it would make sense to transfer the info for all the accessories to this page and maybe have a short paragraph on the controller page linking to them. It sort of makes sense to have the battery packs there, but I think it would still be better in the accessories article. I therefore suggest that we merge Xbox 360 Controller#accessories into this page. AlphathonTM (talk) 20:33, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

message: Either in this article under the section AV Connectors and Cables, or in Xbox_360_hardware it would be nice to see which type of HDMI connector the Xbox 360 uses, and whether there's compatibility with other makers' HDMI cables of the same gender and type. - Egmonster (talk) 17:16, 11 October 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Connectors and compatibility 

message: The article currently states that "One of the issues with using wireless controllers is that there is no way to turn the controllers off unless you remove the battery of the controller." While this is true that you can't manually turn the controllers off, shouldn't it be noted that they turn themselves off after a period of inactivity?    Lmcgregoruk (talk) 15:34, 26 April 2014 (UTC)
