Yeah, I'm not an idiot and realise it won't work with a pad BUT if i used my charge and play kit wire to attach it to my PC would it work? Seeing as it's USB I don't understand if it won't. Secondly are there any drivers for it i'll need?
I know you can buy a wireless adapter to use it with my comp, but it's £15 and I'm cheep :).
you would need drivers in either case.  the plug and play cable only transmits electricity, not data.  so the plug and play cable will not work. if you have a wired controler those will work. for a wireless controler you are going to need the pc reciever. sorry no cheap way out of this one.

Eh? I thought USB can trasmit both? Thats what USB stands for somthing like that anyway. sorry, the connecters only connect to those metal connectors in the middle of the battery bay, it dosn't connect to the input/output. when you are useing the plug and play it is still cating as a wireless controler, only getting power from the cord.  do a quick test if you dont believe me. plug your controler into your pc instead of the 360. now use the controler. even tho it's not connected to the 360 it works just fine with the 360. it dosn't do anything to the pc it's actually conneceted to. i dont know why ms designed it that way, only that they did. i suspect it was cheaper to produce.
I have a question about that, when I go on my 360 it says that it'll work with windows media centre remotes, I have the receiever for that remote connected to my computer, any chance that it'd work just like the official 360 receiver so I could use my 360 remote on here? or anybody know how I can make it work?
