Argos ebay clearence are doing pink wireless controllers with viva pinata party for same price inc delivery.

Just an update - these are still £17.95 which is a fantastic price.

Thinking of getting one of these for my PC as all the console ports these days seem to expect you to have one! Trying to map the controls to my playstation controller connected via an adapter is getting to be a pain!

Just wondering whether anyone has any views on whether I should get the wireless or wired one? They are the same price. Being a PC I'm sat next to it so cable length is irrelevant. I'd think go wireless is the obvious choice but it would be for occasional play and I'm not sure mucking around with batteries is worth the hassle! Any views? Are the controllers otherwise identical apart from the connection method?

Also... how does it connect to the pc? usb dongle thing?

Actually this one doesn't say 'for Windows' like some of them do. Is it 360 only? I'm guessing it doesn't include whatever dongle is needed to connect it wirelessly to a PC. That would pretty much settle the argument for me. :D

Yep, go wired. You need to buy a seperate wireless device for a wireless controller to work.
For the wired it should download the software when you plug it in.
