What you will find
The wireless Xbox 360 controller runs on two AA cells or a rechargeable Play & Charge pack. After years of use, the pack and the sticks are the first things to need replacing.
Worth knowing: the wired 360 controller works on PC with a simple USB connection. It was the reference PC controller for years, and many games still recognise it automatically.
