You need to buy a dongle for the wireless controllers.

I can't find a single online store that has them in stock anymore. Seems Microsoft wants people to buy this instead (it includes the adapter previously mentioned.) Pretty lame..I picked up my adapter up at Newegg for $14.99 about a year ago..but they seem to have ceased selling of the adapter alone (which was an amazing buy if you already owned a 360 and a few controllers.)

The reciever that comes with the linked controller above is the same as what I bought a year ago. Note that it will let you connect any additional 360 controllers that you already have (up to 4 total.)

Yep, that's what you want to look for. You can buy it from Amazon like GuitarFreak2 mentioned, or you can also look on eBay for a cheaper price too: http://shop.ebay.com/items/?_nkw=xbox+360+wireless+adapter+controller&_sacat=0&_trksid=p3286.m270.l1313&_dmpt=Video_Games_Accessories&_odkw=xbox+360+wireless+adapter&_osacat=0

Those are out of stock. If you click the link, it redirects you to retailers. Both of the retailers shown list the item as "out of stock." (EBGames actually says "in stock" at Microsoft's site, but it's listed as "out of stock" on EBGames' own site.)

Amazon's only listings are "used" ..and at the listed used prices, you might as well get a new one packaged with the controller...

As I said above, it seems the selling of the individual reciever has been discontinued.

I have to say that using the controller on the PC is really worth it. I played through the entire game of Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X. with it and it was fantastic.
