If you mean the Plug and Play Charger cord, that won't work. It doesn't transmit any info, just power. When you plug it in Win 7 will recognize it as a USB device, but it won't receive any input.

I think you're confusing it with the plug and play kit, those don't make it PC compatible. You need something like this to use a wireless 360 controller on PC. I guess it's possible that stores around you sell 360 controllers with the adapter, but I've never seen them bundled, in fact, I've never seen the adapter in any physical stores, bundled or not.

For me, it isn't about convenience, it is about cost. Both the wired and wireless cost ~30USD, but for the wireless you need to tack on the cost of a wireless adapter, and batteries and/or charging kit. All in all the convenience comes with a pretty hefty price tag, and for someone like me, who is more comfortable in their desk chair, there really isn't any use for it.

If you mean the Charge Kit for the Wireless Controller I have tried using that with a PC and I have never had any luck. If you find a game that does not support a controller you can use This software to map each button to its keyboard and mouse counterparts.

>Total newbie to the XBOX system here, How do the wireless controllers charge? Or do they just use normal AAA batteries?

They come with a holder for AA batteries (not AAA). You can buy a play and charge kit, and they will charge via a standard USB port.

>Also I plan to use the XBOX with an old LCD computer monitor which has only VGA and no HDMI input.

What is the make and model of the monitor? You can buy an Xbox 360 VGA cable, but if your monitor has DVI, I would get an HDMI-to-DVI cable.

>Also Can I plug in My headphones with 3.5mm Jack into the XBOX.

I guess that would depend on the headphones, but assuming they are just plain old stereo headphones, then no, you'd need something like this, and even then, you'd have to figure out how to control the volume.

>Sorry for the wall of questions.

no problem.

Black wireless is 44% off, Silver Charge and Play is only 31% off. Its actually 99 cents cheaper to order the black controller and a separate charge and play adapter (http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-360-Black-Play-Charge-Kit/dp/B000OYMYZQ/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1332195429&sr=1-1) if you want it. Not that 99 cents is much but I would rather have a black controller then that fugly silver.

The charger pack, and cord for an xbox controller sell for slightly cheaper than that.

I supposed you could use those for other things, but I don't use batteries for anything other than my television remote.

This video always has me dying on Vine

Your username nickname is DDD, or triple D, because of morse code.

This is my prize You should choose this because I love xbox but my controller pack is a piece of shit.

I'm going to save someone some grief here and point out that the "specific adapter for 360 controllers to allow them to talk via USB" is the Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows. This will let you connect up to 4 wireless Xbox 360 controllers. It's only officially supported on Windows, but you can use it on Mac and Linux as well.

DO NOT BUY the poorly named Xbox 360 Play and Charge Kit. As much as it seems like it should work, it DOES NOT allow you to use wireless controllers over USB. The cable only sends power, no data.

They can release it for free. They would have to remove achievements though. Several games break the rules and release DLC for free with achievements.

There are rechargable batteries that are not 3rd party. These are just the black ones, but they do have white also (maybe more). Both come with rechargable batteries. http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-360-Quick-Charger-Kit/dp/B0041CWZEM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1311452674&sr=8-1

I personally like the quick charger. Get 2 rechargable batteries then you can alternate between the 2.

The console life is only halfway over. It's already longer than any previous console EVER! 6 years now and 6 more to go! No reason to make a new one if the current one's sales keep going up from previous years. The whole point of this reddit is so they can listen and use what sounds good. http://www.computerandvideogames.com/308963/ms-xbox-360-about-halfway-through-its-lifecycle/

Hope some of this helps :)

For Windows support you'll want the wireless variant with Windows in the name, as the non-"Windows" variant doesn't include the dongle. The dongle works plug-and-play with Windows 7 (IIRC, or 8.x+). The dongle can also be bought separately. You might also want the Play-and-charge kit.

u/Magicman10893 · 1 pointr/gaming

I used to have this thing for charging the removable battery packs, and this for when I wanted to play while I charged. Are you talking about those pads where put the whole controller on it, like this Nyko thing?

Dang girl!

I just got this cat tree for my cats. They love it! I think it's of a pretty good quality, and if they rip it up at all, I can fix it quite cheaply and easily.

You seem to have very similar tastes in video games as me, so I would recommend either the Mass Effect Series or Rune Factory 4. I haven't played Rune Factory 4, but I've loved the other games in the series and I think you might also really enjoy it!

I'm indecisive, too, so I'll probably end up buying myself a ton of games & movies once I'm back home
