Re: Xbox 360 Controller for PC Racing games ?
It's a very good solution for not only racing games, but also for Games like AC, Fifa, POP etc...
Vibration feature is really good.
Costs around 1350/// wired/

Re: Xbox 360 Controller for PC Racing games ?
Its a wise decision. A joystick definitely adds more control while gaming than the WASD cluster.
Ask tkin he just got it.

He is talking about Xbox 360 version.
There is no difference between windows and XBOX360 version.
Windows version costs a 100 bucks more and comes with a driver CD (Needed for XP and Vista. Not for W7)

Re: Xbox 360 Controller for PC Racing games ?
I use the wired one. I got it for 1.3k from SMC around 6 months ago. It is definitely worth it. I play PES 2011 and Virtua Tennis 09 using it and it performs much better than K+M. Havn't used it for racing yet though. Also, its useless for shooters and other action/adventure games (Assassins Creed series etc.)

Re: Xbox 360 Controller for PC Racing games ?
I haven't used it for racing games. But for games like, Super Meat Boy and FIFA - it is a must have. Playing games like Batman: Arkham Asylum with the controller is also a very pleasant and lazy experience for me. My 32" TV is actually my monitor.
and yea, you can get the wired one. It has pretty long cable.

Re: Xbox 360 Controller for PC Racing games ?
Get it for sure. Racing and arcade games are so much fun with the controller. Specially hack n slash games and POP type platformer.

Re: Xbox 360 Controller for PC Racing games ?
I have used it for more than 2 years now. It's the best and the most comfortable controller you'll ever find. I think Letsbuy had a good deal going on, if you used a discount coupon. Plus it's the black model, which they were apparently shipping out. Look around, you'll find a good deal.

Re: Xbox 360 Controller for PC Racing games ?
Apologies, this is the site I meant: Homeshop18
and this was the Gift code given on TE (courtesy: Arjun): GC9DUC5TP5D5H2E8Q for getting 200 bucks off. I'm not sure if it still works, but you could try it out.

Apparently, everyone who had ordered in the last few weeks got the black one with import date of April 2011. The folks who have order claim that this site's CC & service isn't good. Some got it after 2 weeks and some got it within 2-3 days. So just giving you a word of caution. Although, you could get really lucky. Good luck!

Now just sit back and wait. They will either deliver it within 2-3 days or it could take as long as 2 weeks.

Re: Xbox 360 Controller for PC Racing games ?
What is the advantage of the XBOX PC controller, vs. the normal USB plug and play PC controllers we get at most shops...? I have one of those local ones, I use for SF4.

Re: Xbox 360 Controller for PC Racing games ?
^ Also.. better build quality.
Plug and play even on linux distros likes Ubuntu. I tried couple of games, TombRaider Anniversary and EA Cricket 07 in Ubuntu, using wine. I was really startled by the gamepad support. This might even work with other gamepads. But I never tried.
Also, not all games support rumble function with a normal controller. Like DMC4. Only Xbox 360 controller had rumble support.

you need not worry about game support. just install the drivers and you are good to go. I have played numerous games using the controller without any problem.
