Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Controller for PC Review

D

All,

I am planning to buy "Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Controller for Windows" from Flipkart. Is this a good choice or do I have anything better. My main aim is to only play PC games. I read some reviews for the wired controller and it seems there are same fake ones also being sent.

Please suggest, just wanted to make sure I am paying for for the genuine gamepad.

Its better to buy offline in a proper brick & mortar store rather than online and get sent fake controllers.

IIRC, wireless ones can't be faked.

You are looking to invest 3.2k on 360 gamepad better get Xboc one gamepad for 4k.

what is that? can you please give some more details?

He means that you can play it with the wired USB cable

Ok, understood.

But, Xbox One Play And Charge Kit = 2k and Xbox One Wireless Controller = 4k so total would be 6000
Xbox 360 is somewhat around 3200 so thats half and huge saving..is the diff significant enough to give double the money?

Moreover xbox one controller becomes corded!

Well xbox one controller has sorted one many of the shortcomings of the Xbox 360 controller.

Gentlemen, I have ordered this Xbox 360 wireless controller for windows from snapdeal, cause the price on FK rose from 3k to 3.59k, but I am not sure of the authenticity based on the packing in the second image, can someone please confirm? *www.snapdeal....r-pc/1826246415

I know a member ordered one from FK and his controllers packing is different.

Can someone please confirm the authenticity of this product, else will cancel return the COD!

OKAY! so your one sentence saved my 2000 bucks so thank you for that.

It turns out I wont need that 'Play And Charge Kit' bcz a simple microUSB cable from any android phone charger is sufficient to connect it to the PC. However if someone wants to use it as a wireless controller for PC then a 'Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows' is getting released in December 31 this year.

Do we have to purchase it separately...
Won't it be a part of controller.. Once it's released

31st dec is still a long way.

^They should give it for free with the controller itself.
