Of course, you just need to download the drivers from Microsofts website.

You can get up to two free 360 controllers from Microsoft using Club Bing.

You just play some games, get some tickets and use those tickets to get prizes.

Takes about a month and a half to get the prizes though...

Never happened here on Vista or Windows 7. The controllers "kind of" work out of the box, but start working perfectly once the official Microsoft drivers are installed.
