that's the ticket, and once it's set up, you'll find it works great

Cheers mate exactly what i wanted just didn't know what they were called. Can you get the dongle on its own?

And in not being lazy and not looking my self my pc is down and im on my phone so im struggling a bit finding stuff

You can, just had a look, £16.99 can't link due to competitor rules.

But search xbox wireless receiver and it should give some options

I think you can also get one that works from usb port rather than wireless but ofcourse this isnt what you want if you want some distance between you and the screen.

I paid £30 to get a black wireless X Box controller.

Its sooo much nicer than the crappy white one.

Same here, plus an extra tenner for the black play & charge kit, just so everything matches

I'm thinking of getting one of the new black controllers, they're even better.

My one > crappy black ones though.

Yes but the white turns yellow after a while with the way most people look after their controllers

None of my controllers since the launch of the 360 have turned yellow.

I think some people need to wash more often. :eek:

Because chavs are well known for their love of Chinese style art? :confused:

Ah what you've done there is failed. You assume any kind of Dragon = Chinese.

Are you saying PC users are unhygienic?!

Noxia · 6 Feb 2011 at 15:48

No no, you have assumed that I assume. It's ok though.
