I have just got my son an xbox 360 for xmas, it comes with a wireless controller so i heard from someone that you can use it in your pc for gaming,is this true and what would you need to set this up to work, also if the controller runs out of batteries on him can you just plug it into the usb port and use it as normal, im not sure if it comes with a lead to connect it to usb, but i would like to think incase it runs out you would still be able to play somehow...thanks
Sorry, Barndog, I'm no gamer - but I'm sure they'll congregate soon. :)
Thanks as always Rik,i played with the head getting him an xbox for xmas(cough cough), no Glenn what i mean is just a normal controller that comes with the xbox, someone told me you can use it for pc gaming
You always have to test these things. ;)

"High-performance wireless gaming is here! Using optimized technology, the Xbox 360 Wireless Controller lets you enjoy a 30-foot range and up to 40 hours of life on two AA batteries-and when they run low, you're given ample warning so you can connect a Play & Charge cable for uninterrupted play."
Thanks, Glenn. :thumb:
Yeah, thats the one, but can i use it on my pc to play games instead of keyboards?
No idea on that, I don't have an xbox, but I'm sure that someone will answer that.
The steering wheel I use on my racing game was made for a PS 2 but works fine on a PC
Yes you can m8.
