    Hey guys, im thinkin bout buying an xboxcontroller for the pc (wireless)
    are there a lot of problems with it or is it as nice too play with it on the pc as it is on the xbox?
    the price is quite high if you compare it to other controller... is it worth it?

    You can get a usb controller for a shed load cheaper.. like 90% cheaper, and built for pcs= better quality.

    Only durability wise, look after it and it will be fine.

    I kept my 360 controller when my xbox died last years and bought only the wireless receiver. It's working damn good and the fun thing is that alot of games are already preset to work with the 360 controller.
    No controller calibration or button configuration. Already working with the function where you expect it to be.

    Edit: if you have guitar hero 3 for pc, all the wireless 360 guitars works too ;)
