Xbox 360 Controller for Windows Installation Images

360 Controller Installation Label

So, check it. We just picked up an Xbox 360 for Windows controller the other day - you know, the one that is the exact same wired 360 controller that will be available for the Xbox 360, but at a price of $5 more because it comes with Windows XP installation software? Yeah, that’s the one. Nonetheless, we figured we would give you all a peek at exactly what your extra $5 gets you as we snapped images of the controller along with the installation process, which you can check out after the jump. By the way, we tried out the controller on Half-Life 2 and Battlefield 2 - no dice. The games need to be updated to add support for the Xbox 360 Controller for Windows. I expect that will happen fairly soon. For now, enjoy the photos.

This is the difference between the “normal” wired controller and the Windows version: A driver installation CD.

Hi does anyone know if you can use the controller on the desktop as it would be very cool and it would be alot better as i am used to playing the 360

Hey Dan, What do you mean use it on your desktop? I doubt you could use it like a mouse if that’s what you are referring to. The driver enables Windows to locate the controller as “Game Controllers” in the Control Panel, not a Mouse driver.
