So we all have xbox controllers, and most people who dont have a xbox have the controllers, so how are we going to be able to use them? is someone going to make a usb adapter that can support 2 xbox contollers for the 360 (i know there out for the pc)

idk but i dont want to buy a $50 controller over and over

Piece of cake, I built one in 4 minutes.

Make a USB to XBox cable with electrical tape or solder.

Then, get a usb hub and the cable to connect it to your usb port(ooooh...).

Next, stay with me here, connect 4 XBox controllers to the hub with the cable(s) you made.

Then, connect the hub to one of the usb ports in the 360.

Good luck, and tell me how it turns out!

I'm sure that the newer games will take advantage of the new shoulder buttons.
Plus, why would you have to buy 50$ controllers over and over again?
I doubt these babies will break...

Also, you need the X button on the 360 controller.  rolleyes.gif  wink.gif

No you don't.  They'll probably remap it to a button combo.  Something like LT+RT+Start+Back smile.gif

didn't they remove the black and white and put them on the shoulder... so the number of buttons is the same. I think it might be possible to use a usb adapter, but not a hub since the controller is a hub and the original xbox didn't support daisy chains which is why i dont think the current one will.

Well, we already have plenty of practice modding with the yellow wire...
