Did a search on the net, got alot of yes maybe unsure stuff and the pr*cks at the shops selling the control are no help at all. Can someone who is actually using the control on pc just confirm that it works before i go out and buy it please.
 
I can confirm it does and very very well. I've used a 360 wired controller on my PC for over a year. On XP you need to download the drivers from Microsofts site, but that's easy peasy, I believe Vista supports it natively. (You used to be able to by it branded as a "common controller" that shipped with the drivers in the box, but I don't think they do that anymore)

You can even get a wireless USB dongle that will allow you to hook up a wireless controller, the Steering wheel and the headset as well.
 
I bought the wireless dongle so that I can use one of my controllers on the PC occasionally. It works well enough.
