Xbox 360 Controller to Work on XP PCs

In a move that I think is fantastic, the new Xbox 360 controllers from Microsoft will also work on Windows XP based computers.
The Xbox 360 Controller for Windows will work with the upcoming Xbox 360 console, as well as with computers that have the Windows XP operating system.
“Gamers can simply unplug their controller from their Xbox 360 system and plug it into their Windows XP-based PC,” Chris Donahue, director of Windows gaming at Microsoft, said in a statement. “This is a great breakthrough for the gaming industry as we make it easier for developers to create multiplatform titles.”

We Say: This is a great move by Microsoft, one that I hope will continue. We all have too many toys with too many connections. Wonder if we can get one that works with our PS3’s?

I’ve been dying for Sony to release their very own PS2 or even their original dual shock for PCs without having to resort to clunky adapters. Oh well! Sega has released their Saturn controllers for the PC world, but not in the US.

You can do that with a regular xboxcontroller all you need to do is adapt the plugs you can even use a thumb drive on your xbox as a memory card.
