XBOX360 controller on a PC

Ola,

Im looking at buying a gamepad for my PC and i seem to have fallen inlove with 360 controller. Im interested in getting the wireless 360 controller and connecting it to my PC, but the problem is im not sure what i need to buy to achieve this... Is it just a matter of getting the controller, or must i buy something extra to get it to work with my PC...

Any help with this matter would really help me out :)

There's a wireless receiver you will need to buy.

This is it: http://www.xbox.com/en-US/hardware/x/xbox360wirelessgamingreceiver/

Depending on where you live, £18/$30 will get you an official xbox 360 wired controller for windows with 8 - 10ft of cable, easily enough for pc gaming, considering my last 2 controllers didnt have 10ft between them
