Top 5 Must Own Xbox Accessories

If you are a hardcore or casual gamer on Xbox 360 then there are several accessories you must-have! This article will list 5 of my favorite accessories for Xbox 360 that you must get today. It will not only make your life easier but also make you a better gamer. Why does it make you a better gamer? Well because you are spending MORE TIME in the game instead of messing with trivial crap around you.

5. Turtle Beach Ear Force X12 Gaming Headset
This headset is perfect for tuning out distractions that can take away crucial moments from your gaming experience. This headset is one of the few I have found that not only provides crystal clear sound but is comfortable to wear! If you are looking to enjoy gaming again then you need a headset like this one that was specifically engineered for Xbox 360.

4. Energizer Power & Play Charging Kit
I use to hate charging my controllers because I hated having all the wires in my way. This kit not only charges your game controllers but also your headsets. The best thing about it is that the kit has red and green lights that let you know the charging status of your accessories. Now you know when you can grab your favorite controller and get back in the game!

3. Nyko PowerPak NiMH Battery Pack
If you play a lot of games then you run your controllers down pretty fast. The Nyko PowerPak is a cheap alternative to keeping tons of spare battery packs on hand. This allows you to grab one quickly and snap it in. These battery packs usually run around $10 a piece, and are a great way to make sure you never have to put the controller down!

2. Microsoft Media Remote
This remote will make your life easier in one click! It allows you to control all your media devices. You can use it on your TV, CD and DVD devices as well as navigate through Xbox applications like Netflix, Hulu Plus, ESPN and more. This is a handy remote if you are tired of having a ton of remote controls around while you are trying to game!

1. Hauppauge HD PVR Gaming Edition
This handy little device allows you to easily record your Xbox 360 gameplay in high-definition. You can then use the software bundled with the package to automatically upload your footage to YouTube. It is fairly easy to use and will not interrupt your gameplay at all. Hardcore gamers find that recording their gameplay and reviewing it later helps them become better in the long-run. If you are a more casual gamer then you can use this nifty device to share your gameplay with friends which is always fun.
