    Just plug it in and it should take a second and read it as a controler and you can use it on emulators and what not

    TRY IT!

    So does it only work with 360 emulators, or can it be used to play PC games too? Call of Duty for example would be nice with a 360 controller. I don't have a 360 as of now, or I'd try it myself...

    Yes it works for all emulators.

    I use it for virtualNES, ZSNES, sega emulator.

    I dont have a 360 either. The guy at game haven told me about it so I bought one and it works as any other controller would.

    not quite sure, my buddy has used his for WoW and other games along those lines. Well, maybe not WoW but a game very similar. All you need is a program to usually run it I believe.

    I don't own an Xbox 360 but it would be cool to play the emulators with a controller. So how does this work exactly? I mean what am I plugging into the computer, I thought the controllers were all wireless?

    the one i got has a cord and it was only 20 bucks at meijers.

    someone told me that the xbox and ps3 wireless controller recievers are actually in the game console itself. the part that plugs in is only for charging the battery. Therefore, the wireless ones wouldnt work on a pc.

    but it was just a random dude that told me that so i dont know how true it is.
