Will it work with your PC? YES! SWEET I need a controller for my PC. driving a car with a keyboard is ... hardly possible

This X360 controller will ship with a driver that makes it function with Windows XP based PCs. When the Xbox 360 eventually ships on November 22 you'll be able to use this controller with the console as well. In addition, the controller that ships with the X360 console will be compatible with Windows XP-based PCs.

[Let it be noted that the press release only specified this PC and X360 compatibility would work for the wired versionsof the X360 controller, not the wireless. Then again, unless you have a 30 inch computer monitor, you'll probably be staying within 9 feet of your PC anyway, so the wired aspect of the controller shouldn't be much of an issue. The controller will be able to plug into your X360 and PC effortlessly with its USB attachment. Once you eventually get a hold of your Xbox 360 you'll be able to plug the controller that comes with it into your PC and play relatively quickly by using the drivers available for download from Microsoft's website.

hover your mouse over the controller you can spin it

I wonder if this is considered SPAM since an almost exact duplicate of this thread is over in the General Games Chat forum...

See here.

Anyway, yes, we know.

But theyre dumbed down arcadey games made for that. Proper sims can barely be controlled with a pad and are impossible to play with a keyboard.
