By D Ellenwood

Microsoft has developed the Xbox 360 to be one of the premier gaming systems available today. Besides the quality of games, the gaming experience is truly enhanced by the quality of accessories available for the system. Xbox 360 accessories are some of the best currently on the market. The following is a brief look at some of them.

Controllers: Up to four controllers can be used at one time. Most systems come with wired controllers, but now wireless is the new trend.

Battery Packs: A rechargeable battery pack is available that provides twenty five hours of power for the wireless controllers. A play and charge kit is a popular way to recharge a controller while playing a game. This is accomplished by plugging the controller into one of the Xbox 360 USB ports. Also available is the quick charge kit which has two battery packs.

Chatpad: A small keyboard that is used for messaging. It usually includes a headset that is plugged directly into the chatpad.

Steering Wheel: Used mainly for racing games, most steering wheels have a force feedback so it feels like you are driving a real car. It also includes floor mounted brake pedals and accelerator.

Big Button Controller: These look like game show buzzers with one large buzzer button at the top and four smaller buttons for multiple choice answers.

Arcade Gamestick: Just like the arcade machines, this gamestick has a spinner control and a joystick.

Guitar Shaped Controller: This controller was released with the Guitar Hero game and is much like a regular controller except with less buttons.

Headset: Used for gamers to talk to each other.

Wireless Headset: Used for private chat, in-game voice recognition, and voice chat.

Live Vision Camera: Some arcade games have camera functionality. The camera also allows for the creation of an in-game representation of a player.

There are many other miscellaneous Xbox 360 accessories which are available through third party suppliers.

Microsoft has proved that they are serious about staying in the video gaming business by offering new accessories for the Xbox 360 from time to time. Some of the most recent were the Halo 3 special edition console and the Xbox 360 messenger kit.
