Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows Available Now Posted by HSDEMONZ | February 21 18:17 EST

From TeamXbox.com: [QUOTE] There's a reason why gamers choose the Xbox 360 Wireless Controller over other gamepads; it delivers a mean combination of precision, speed and accuracy. Windows gamers can take advantage of the Xbox 360 Wireless Controller and other Xbox 360 wireless accessories with the Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows, which is now available on store shelves. As a great gift for yourself or for fellow gamers, the Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows costs $19.99 (MSRP) and is available at retailers across North America including, GameStop, Wal-Mart and Circuit City. For gamers that need both a wireless controller and receiver, Microsoft is offering the Xbox 360 Wireless Controller for Windows which includes both the receiver and controller in one package for $59.95 (MSRP). The Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows opens up a whole new world of Windows gameplay by allowing the Xbox 360 Wireless Controller for Windows, Xbox 360 Wireless Headset and Xbox 360 Wireless Racing Wheel to work on any Windows Vista or Windows XP (SP1 or higher)-based PC.

Nice, *waits for reviews*

hmm i wonder if this can be used to run software too (such as media center apps)

[Nytemunkey]

I was surprised to see this on the front page. I thought this was old news and I saw one of these at walmart the other day before this story came out.

I guess it is cool though if you play computer games or something, maybe use it as a HID like a wireless mouse if that is possible? that would be better. The only reason I would get one is if I stole it or someone just handed me one. I don't see either of those things happening tho.

I've had mine for almost a week now - and I must say I LOVE IT! I use my wireless headset on both the console and PC games. So far I haven't encountered any syncing issues with the headset and controller in tandem to the wireless receiver - though I have encountered it once on my 360.

I bought mine on saturday. Still in the blister pack. Gonna find the time this week to try it out.

Been waiting for this for a long time now. Hopefully it works as advertised and hacks to allow it to work as a media remote. Maybe a chance for Myth TV drivers.

anyone know of any PC racing games that fully support the FF features of the 360 FF wheel?

Any experiences?

[Maverick0984]

using it for the wireless headset could be cool

[Lifter]

I don't understand how this thing works if you have this thing and an Xbox 360 in the same room.

I want to use my 360 controller for both my console and my PC. How do you switch back and forth between the two?

using it for the wireless headset could be cool

Then you can better buy the headset pack for PC, a black headset (same as the white 360 one) and the reciever for €55

by pressing the sync button
want to use it on your 360 sync it with your pc
want it for the pc sync it with the pc

so in other words u will have to sync it with what ever u want it to work on

I've been writing a game for the PC that makes use of the 360 controller. For some reason my code only works with a wired controller, which seems really strange considering the code was more or less ripped straight from MSDN.

This thing looks awesome, I'm just turned away by the 60$ price tag
