PRODUCT COMPOSITION
For a reasonable price starting at US$28 up to US$35, the Chillstream could be deemed a pretty good value for the money for what you get.
The product comes in the plastic blistering package that we all know people love. After about 10 minutes or wrestling with a sharp knife to extract the product without scratching it, you will receive the following.
First out is the multi-language setup manual and the mini-CD which contains the drivers, setup software and some free games.
Next out is the actual controller. This first thing you will notice is that it is practically a replica of the original Xbox controller. My initial impression once I held the controller for the first time is that it doesn't way anymore than any other controller I have used in the past. Over build quality and rigidity is excellent but I will go into more detail on that in the next section.
