So do you have to pay to use xbox live just to get achievements and gamer points?
And can you connect a wireless controller to the pc?

But I heard you could use a xbox 360 controller on your pc?
u need a usb dongle to get the wireless countrollers working on pc
u get combined packages: the controller + the dongle (for like R50 to R100 more than the controller) http://www.take2.co.za/games-microsoft-xbox-360-wireless-controller-for-windows-3687342.html //interestingly cheaper than just the controller in some situations even.
and u also get, but rarely available: the dongle seperately for about R150 (its not on take2s site anymore, some places may still have very old stock but it seems to be discontinued for some reason
alternatively u can acquire a wired controller and plug it in directly http://www.take2.co.za/discuss.php?id=4950139&discuss=3295#3295

It's almost impossible to buy the PC receiver dongle on its own (at least new). If you shop around you can get a controller+dongle bundle for under R500, which is nice since you can use the extra controller for 2 player games on either the Xbox or the PC assuming you only had 1 controller for your Xbox to begin with. The cheapest I found was at kalahari.net for R430
1st question: no. You will still get game achivements and points by playing games offline. Some games are also playable on XBL (Xbox Live)
2nd question: Yes. But you have to get the wireless dongle as other posters have said. You wont find just the dongle, you'll have to buy a control that comes with it. I might have one (dongle) lying around somewhere... Never use it.
