I have a xbox360 Wireless controller, but no xbox360. I want to use it on my PC for GTA4. Ebay sells these things called "Charger Cable for Xbox 360 Xbox360 Wireless Controller" for $10 shipped from Hong Kong. It says it will allow this to work with pc for games.

Is this true? If so, Ill buy it since I need a pc controller.

Is this what I should get?

The charger cable does not make it work on a PC, it sends no data between the controller and the 360/PC.

I wouldn't, theres quite a few games that won't work with the wireless. My buddy got one and basically gave up trying to use it, bought a wired one and they all work.

I've heard a lot of stories from other stating the same.

I've been using the wired one for over a year and just about everygame works flawlessly with it.
