I found mine on the net. Tiger direct I beleive. It works with about half of the games I play. Great addition

the only difference between the pc and 360 versions of the controllers is that the pc one comes with a driver disk, and is $10 dollars more. double check, but i think you can just buy a regular black 360 controller and plug it into your pc. on 7/vista the drivers are built in, and xp you can d/l the divers from MS's website.

(fyi, i got mine (pc)on some clearance day @ bestbuy for $25, they're usually $40+)

the pc ones also come with the wireless adapter, one adapter can connect more then one controller and mic

so if i bought the wireless one.. i could just add controll pads from xbox 360 and the adapter would recognise it? how many can connect to it?

i was thinking about just getting wired one but im gonna deffo have to get a wireless one if that true

I bought the wired one for $34 free shipping. It has a slightly different wire than the regular controller. Ill try my regular 360 controller to see if it will work. It wouldnt work before in windows 7

i bought a wireless one that came with the reciver. i think you can connect 4 (?). im not sure. but i do know that you can connect at least two.

i looked at the product page from msoft (http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/gaming/ProductDetails.aspx?pid=090&active_tab=systemRequirements) but i couldn't find anything about how many controlers you could connect. i even looked at the product pages.

*edit*
ok i went to this site (http://support.xbox.com/support/en/us/xbox360/kb.aspx?ID=933711&lcid=1033&category=hardware) and it says "Lets you use up to four wireless controllers and four wireless headsets together with one wireless gaming receiver"

ok cheers for the help ladies.. also i need to know if this control pad would work with windows 7 _7229 64bit
USB Rumble Control Pad: Black - PC - PC Games - GAME.co.uk

because it says "Requires PC computer running Windows 2000 / ME / XP"

I just painted an extra wireless 360 remote i had Black and silver to match my PC. It works fine.
And when i need the 4th remote for the 360 i just re sync it to it. and vice versa.
