    Xbox controllers for PC?

    So I was looking through this site and bumped into this pic (the site name is on the pic).



    What do I need to get to use my Xbox controllers on my PC (what store, what product)?

    They could just be playing the Xbox on a monitor. But I've never seen that game before.

    Thanks for the link, I've been after an Xbox usb cable (much prefer the Xbox controller to the PS2 one) but didn't want to fork out 15 quid or whatever, I'll give this a go, plenty of spare cables around.

    I dont believe so. Theres a small box with some stuff in it on the PS2 converters. Xbox's controllers are plain old USB. Did the opposite (usb->xbox cord) and have my KB and mouse hooked up on xbox for linux. Oddly enough the PS2 comes with USB ports...

    That's how I feel about the original Xbox controllers. The new, smaller version is a lot better. I think the Xbox controllers fit the PC best, 'cause they resemble the original sidewinder controllers and that's what I'm used to.

    Do they sell something that's already premade like at Radio Shack or Best Buy?
