Not neccessary. Just buy TESCO Alkaline...4 biji RM2.90. But if you are heavy gamer, probably better to get rechargeable in the long run. If casual gamer like me, the alkaline will do. My controller still working after 2 weeks for my XBOX360, currently using Energiner alkaline.

btw, just to re-iterate all those questions:

1) The XBOX360 wired controller is THE SAME as the XBOX360 controller for Windows. Can be used interchangebly between PC and XBOX360.

2) Drivers for the controller are provided for Windows version. The console version does not include the CD driver, but you can download from MS website. Drivers only needed for WinXP.

3) For Windows Vista and 7, you don't need to install the drivers coz the OS already has the drivers...you just plug it in and the Windows will automatically setup the drivers.

4) The XBOX360 wireless controller for PC comes with an extra receiver which is a MUST for PC without one(or you won't be able to use it). However, if you intend to get 2nd or more controller, just buy the XBOX360 wireless controller for console because only 1 receiver is needed. For the console, you can also use the Windows wireless controller, without the receiver becoz ur XBOX already has one.
Basically:
Wireless XBOX360 controller for Windows = controller + receiver + CD driver
Wireless XBOX360 controller for XBOX360 = controller only

Actually it works on Win 7 only..... For other OSes, it doesn't work...... Tested already......

i wonder how ppl can play that game without the controller.

btw... one question....
Is there any possibility to use the controller as mouse?
any settings or program? if there is, please give the link and faq about it.
thanksss~~~~

yeah, wireless is working as expected but i found that the rumble is not as strong as wired one, less oomph to me, i suppose it is designed in such way to conserve energy as it runs with dry cell

btw, got 2-unit wired for sell, anyone interested?

sigh, was busy since past few wks, some more stuff to clear later
maybe will keep one wired for contingency

Use a cable-strap to make it less messy looking 

got an additional unit of xbox360 wireless controller (brand new sealed), rm120 for u
