The Xbox 360 controller is a well-designed and produced item. It’s very similar to the original Xbox controller, but it has a smaller and easier-to-handle design similar to the S-controller for the original Xbox. While visiting Digital Life I found out that the wired Xbox 360 controller has a standard USB connection that can connect to a PC. The photo here is of me holding the Xbox 360 controller before playing the King Kong movie game on a PC. I lost the game, but the experience of both the game and the controller was a win.

The Microsoft rep at Digital Life did not know if there will be a way to connect the wireless controller to a PC. If not then this leads me to wonder why people would want a wireless controller, when the wired controller can connect to a PC. It’s a trade-off between compatibility and freedom of movement. I might want the Xbox 360 controller even if I don’t get an Xbox 360.
