    Any idea how the you connect a controller with a pc. On xbox/microsoft.com it gives a link to windowsgaming.com but that site seems to be down. I was thinking the problem may be cause its a wireless controller being connected with a usb charger for it..?..Any ideas?

    if it's the wifi controller ya need a MS wifi dongle to get the controller to work with a pc.

    the wired ones ya just plug in.

    the usb charge cable will just charge the controller when connected to a pc

    You'll pick one up fairly cheap on amazon, not an official one but does the trick.I got one bout a year ago and works perfectly.You'll probably also need a programme like pinnacle game profiler to programme in the controls and stuff.That programme though has a few forums available where people have uploaded profiles for current games so it saves you the hassle of sorting out your own profiles.

    Ya wireless dongle required. Or just get the wired controller as its way cheaper than the wireless and alot less hassle.
