    Re: Microsoft XBox 360 Controller For Windows

    just to tell you if you didn't already know-the pc version and the 360 version are exactly the same, the pc version just comes with the drivers which are readily availbale off microsofts website

    i use the wireless 1 with the games for windows reciever and its great for games

    you can also download a profiler and map the buttons so you can control windows using it (it's quite fun)

    Re: Microsoft XBox 360 Controller For Windows

    i have 1 of these, but i didn't buy it especially for the PC..
    i got it with my xbox 360 as an added bonus thing within the deal..

    great for driving games.. (i don't like the steering wheels, i want a MiB car when i'm older)
    but not really got much use elsewhere really..

    Re: Microsoft XBox 360 Controller For Windows

    Woo another TDU-er Got the Megapack yet?

    X360 controller is great, yes. Not just for driving games either - it's top for the likes of Lego Star Wars, Prince of Persia, Beyond Good & Evil (probably) etc. I recommend you look up the XBCD drivers though if you want some more customisability.

    well admittedly, it's illegally downloaded..
    i can't find anywhere that sells it..
    but with it being such a good game, i'm gonna buy it, just 'cause they deserve to be paid for this game..

    is the megapack worth getting?
    i've not played it much..
    where the hell can you buy the Ferrari F430?!
    i'm using someone elses game-save atm (i'm really lazy)

    *sigh*

    As per the ban I actioned last night, this has just bought you one too.

    Less than a minute of Googling found Direct2Drive where you can get it for $20.

    Banned until you prove you've bought it.
