do i need to own an xbox if i only want to use this to play games on my pc (does it require some sort of set up with an xbox)??

Nope. The controller comes with a Wireless transceiver. Its USB plug-able. Just plug the transceiver into any free USB port on your PC. Turn on your controller and you're good to go. Simple as that.

No, You dont need xbox360 itself. All you need is drivers which comes along with it just install it and you are good to go with most of the PC gaming !! the name itself might be cofusing as controller shape and style is same as native xbox360 controller but it has nothing to do with xbox360 box, yes you can use it on your xbox360 i guess !!! but if wish to use it for PC games, just installed the drivers and wireless USB, put some batteries and you are good to go!!

I am having the exact same issue. I paid the extra money so I would have an authentic Xbox 360 controller with the dual usage option. It works great for my PC games. ( Skyrim in particular) however it was also suppose to be the second controller from my Xbox for when guests come over. I did push the button ))) to try and allocate it to the xbox but it just WILL NOT recognize it. I also feel like an idiot because I bought it months ago but only recently went to use the controller with the xbox and realized it doesn't work. I have a basic 4gig xbox 360 not a slim.

Yes. It can be connected to an Xbox. For a wireless connection, as long as your Xbox had that capability you shouldn't have a problem.

You might have to configure it to work for games from Steam. I use x260ce app to configure. As 'ian' has mentioned, its a hit or miss. I would recommend xbox controller as well.

Speaking as somebody who doesn't have Xbox Live, you don't need it to play the single player portion, which was the only part I cared about. Hope this helps!

Wish I could help you on this one, but I'm the grandmother who gave this as a gift to my young grandson. I could ask him your question and get back to you later. I actually know nothing about Xbox.

I don't know I don't have an Xbox 360 or a PC. My advice is to perhaps go to Best Buy Store & ask them.

It should work fine if your Xbox has a standard Ethernet port, and assuming your Internet modem does as well.

the xbox doesn't have wireless built in. you need to get the add on USB wifi adapter to give the device wireless capabilities.

it probably wouldn't work since the xbox doesn't have any software to support this device.*plugged it in to the xbox and it did noting.

Andrew,You would need to have an optical port that put out dolby digital live on your PC and Bluetooth to use this headset with a PC. It is compatible out of the box with an Xbox 360 and a PS3, and mobile devices via Bluetooth.

Yes. You need a cthulu board for xbox360. It is an absolute pain in the ass from what I hear though.

The fee is for the Microsoft service. You can play games without paying for the service. But, you will not get full functionality available on the the xbox (video streaming, etc.)

You can definitely play it without Xbox live. That's what I am doing right now because I haven't updated my live membership yet. You only need online play for extra side "activities" like trading fleets, multiplayer, and battling your friends online. But the normal storyline works fine without a membership.

You can set your PC to use an xbox controller anyway, you can also tweak the console on PC, a big plus if you're really into the game!
