How can I hook up my 360 controller to the PC?

[sscaff1]

I heard the cord that comes with the rechargeable battery pack is just a Power USB cord no data transfer happens. I would like to be able to use my Xbox360 controller if possible because I'm getting the game for the PC.

Also do you guys think there will be much of a difference in graphics between the PS2 and the 360 because if this controller becomes too much of a hassel screw it I'm getting this game for the PS2. I would
think however it would look better on my PC (X800XT, A64 3500+, 1 gig of Ram).

Yes, you can use the Wired Xbox 360 Controller on the PC, simply plug it in to an available USB port using the cable attached to the controller itself. I do not believe there is currently any way to make the 360 Wireless Controller work with any degree of success.

Many people (including myself) use one of the wired controllers to play. It is suggested that you use the XBCD drivers for 'better' configuration, over the somewhat iffy Microsoft drivers. You can find a guide here: http://xbcd360guide.50webs.com/

I got the usb controller, I dunno if wireless works with PC. So far it works fine on other games, I don't have PSU yet but many have said it works fine long as you get the drivers and don't use default ones.

360 is like a good pc I hear, with your setup I'm pretty sure you can run on some great settings if not max.

btw I love the controller, I had a normal xbox and the controller is just to big for girls, my bf liked it but I had to get a mini to be comfortable with it. These are just perfect which is why I'm using it for PC.

yeah 40 bucks is what I paid, there were only two kinds at walmart wired and wireless. Wireless was the more expensive one.

I personally just got back from Best Buy tonight and i was searching for a controller to use with my computer to play PSU and i found a xbox 360 controller in the computer section that said it was made to work on computers with windows xp and xbox 360. It came with a cd and seemed like a normal xbox 360 controller. The only extra was the given cd with it. Hope this helps!

Well, the wired ones that come with the core machine also work, but you have the download the drivers for it from Microsoft, as I believe they also offer the driver set online, if not, theres also a third party driver set.

The wireless controller... at the current moment, no. There is an official 360-PC "Wireless Gaming Reciever" that can allow the wireless to be used on a PC, but unfortunately this device doesn't come out until sometime in December.

The 'Windows Xbox 360' controller is the normal wired 360 controller that comes with the driver on a disk. If you find the normal controller for cheaper, just buy that and download the driver for free.
