Cutting the cord...

It took me a while to find one, but I finally managed to pick up the Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming Receiver for Windows from my local games shop. Anything that helps me get rid of wires on my desk is something I am more then happy to purchase. If your running Windows Vista you might be more then a little surprised when the installation CD says that your operating system isn't supported, I followed the link from the cd to http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/gaming/download.mspx where I was able to give some simple information about what I needed a driver for and got a version of the driver that worked perfectly with Windows Vista.
Naturally the first thing I did once I got my Wireless controller connected was to load up Spacewar and give it a try with XNA Game Studio Express and it seems to work great and I didn't notice any difference from using a regular wired controller.
To end the post with a bit of fancy (or not so fancy) marketing at $19.99 or less from retailers like Amazon you really can't beat getting to use your wireless Xbox 360 controllers on your PC.
