Okay, it should be running out of battery, as I am certain I have been playing for 40 hours. I assume something will come on screen when it does die?

With my controllers it'll usually start kicking out every ten minutes once the battery gets really low. It can still be played by pressing the guide button again, but that's when you know it needs changing. I've never gotten down to zero battery, so I don't know what would happen, but I assume the controller just wouldn't turn back on.

The console autopauses games whenever the controller shuts off, just keep playing with some spare AA nearby.

I agree with the low battery theory ^^

Maybe you have an other malfunction on your controller

1) The flashing lights, if anything, that you have a low-er battery, no biggie (mine does it all the time).

2) If your light is flashing, and your controller hasn't connected to your Xbox 360, you need to re-sync the controller to the Xbox. There's a smaller button on top of the 360 (near the battery compartment). Press that, and then press the button on the X360 faceplate, that has the little wireless icon.

Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

You need to re-synch the controller. There's a button on the controller that you must hit at the same time you do something else on the console. The procedure is detailed on the manual.
