Came across this excellent deal while looking for new controllers for my PC. Will work out of box on 360's but you will need a compatible adapter for use with PC, which can be ordered cheaply from that auction website. Wired controllers cost around same price.
NB. Xbox 360 Controllers operate on the 2.4Ghz wifi radio band, not Bluetooth. The only way to hook them up to PC is with the official - or a third party - XBOX 360 Wireless Receiver.
If you don't already own the official Microsoft receiver, the going rate is around £17 for new.
Official is best, but pretty pricey.
If you want a cheaper non-Microsoft receiver, they're on ebay/elsewhere for around £7-12. But choose wisely!
Here's a good one, the 'massG' receiver available on on ebay and Amazon, distributed by UK company Mass Global. This receiver does really well on Amazon, and is rated overall 4.5 stars. It is rated low on ebay only because the reviewer didn't find the simple workaround solution for installing drivers to Windows 7, as described by this Amazon reviewer
Certain other models are rubbish. Definitely avoid anything "Official and Genuine" offered on ebay from China offered at an impossibly low price. Chance that these are genuine as described = zero.
Note, you only need one receiver for up to 4 controllers.
Why not pick up some reliable rechargeable AA batts?
Some charming suave HUKDer posted a decent deal a week ago. Ive been using them since then with my controllers. They last ages.

The massG is a cheap one. I'm saying get a cheap one!
What do you guys do, visit the Cancer Research forums and say 'My gran smoked 80 a day til she was 90'?
I've been insulted in better threads than this, I'm off to play Rocket league :smile:

Would be more advisable to look for a cheap Xbox One controller IMO.
At least you can use it via USB on so many different devices, most importantly the PC.
