Available now - Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows!

There’s a reason why gamers choose the Xbox 360 Wireless Controller over other gamepads; it delivers a mean combination of precision, speed and accuracy. Windows gamers can take advantage of the Xbox 360 Wireless Controller and other Xbox 360 wireless accessories with the Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows, which is now available on store shelves.

As a great gift for yourself or for fellow gamers, the Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows costs $19.99 (MSRP) and is available at retailers across North America including, GameStop, Wal-Mart and Circuit City. For gamers that need both a wireless controller and receiver, Microsoft is offering the Xbox 360 Wireless Controller for Windows which includes both the receiver and controller in one package for $59.95 (MSRP).

The Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows opens up a whole new world of Windows gameplay by allowing the Xbox 360 Wireless Controller for Windows, Xbox 360 Wireless Headset and Xbox 360 Wireless Racing Wheel to work on any Windows Vista or Windows XP (SP1 or higher)-based PC.

Not sure which games support these accessories? You can be confident that all Games for Windows branded titles natively support the Xbox 360 accessories when applicable. Additionally, you can easily map button configurations for any game that enables gamepad support.

What else can you do with the Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows?

When you use the Xbox 360 Wireless or Wired Headset with the Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows or the Xbox 360 Wireless Controller for Windows, it will be recognized as a second sound device. That means you can configure the headset in games that use voice communication or voice over IP programs. For example, in Games for Windows title, “Flight Simulator X,” you can output voice communication and radio chatter through the Xbox 360 Wireless or Wired Headset, while still hearing the airplane noise through your main speakers – just like a real cockpit!
Talk to other gamers through the Xbox 360 Wireless Headset when you play online via Games for Windows - Live, soon to hit Windows Vista with “Shadowrun,” “UNO” and “Halo 2 for Windows Vista,” later this year. Use the Xbox 360 Wireless Headset to chat with friends online on MSN Messenger and other applications that use a voice input device.
Use the Xbox 360 Wireless Controller for Windows with all of Windows Vista’s inbox games or navigate Windows Media Center.

Cool, instant wireless solution for my laptop and htpc! Now I can use my 360 wireless controller to game on my laptop when away from home, or when playing a htpc game in the home theaters.
