I just got the new Xbox 360-s. the system is great. I also bought with it the charge and play kit for the control. The only problem is that it only takes my controller about an hour or less to charge, and the charge only holds for like 4-5 hours. The light turns green on the controller very fast, and it says it has a full charge. Does it do this for a while and then it will eventually hold a stronger charge? I heard these should last about 30 hours.

4-5 hours isn't very long, maybe you got a defective unit. My controller batteries have never lasted 30 hours though and over all the uses the battery life has only shortened. I've had better luck with the generic battery and charger kits than the ones directly from Microsoft.
