That’s why I’m here to ask. I need to know what equipment I need, as I’m relatively sure an adapter will be required, and how I’d go about installing or configuring my PC to handle the controller.

Another quick question…does anybody know if there is a Create-A-Team feature for the PC version of FIFA 2007?

Original Xbox controllers are not compatible with PC unless you convert them (hacking...not recommended).

Microsoft has released an adaptor so you can use your Xbox 360 Wireless controller with the PC. The adapter uses a USB port, and the Controller syncs with the PC via the adaptor.
The standard Wired controller for the 360 is easier, as it is simply a plug and play thing. The firmware on the PC (if you are using Vista) should automatically recognise it.

With the controller connected, you'll have to configure the control scheme on a game by game process (as far as I'm aware...). That shouldn't be too hard.

The street price for the adaptor varies, so I'd go and have a look at your local electronics store.

[HERE'S MY QUESTION]

Does anyone know if it is possible to connect to Xbox Live on the Xbox 360 by plugging the ethernet cable into a PS3, and using the wireless connection (in my house) to connect to the internet.

Essentially, I would be using the PS3 as a router for the 360.

Does anyone know if this theory is possible?

This involves robbing the betting store in Montgomery. Stop in the red marker outside the betting shop and Catalina will give you satchel charges. Enter the betting store and Catalina will hold a gun towards the staff. One of the staff pushes the alarm after Catalina warned her not to. She's now history. Catalina orders you to blow the door open, in order to gain access to the safe. Press 'Circle' to throw the satchels and hold it for longer to increase the throwing distance. Throw about 2 or 3 satchel charges onto the door, and stand well back from it. Flick through your weapons until you reach the detonator, and press 'Circle'. The door will blast open, and you now must do the same to blow the safe open. This will only require one satchel. Once the safe is open, CJ will take the cash, and a 4-star wanted level appears. Get some wheels, head to the pay n' spray marked on the radar (keep an eye out for the police bribe under the Montgomery intersection) and get back to Catalina's hideout.

I'm pretty sure you need to use the thump pad.

You have to pay 800 Microsoft point for them, which is like 10$ I think. And I don't think they will be playable if someone from your group chooses to play in them, but I'm not positive.

You have to pay for them and you can't play them, even if someone in your party chooses that map I believe.

So i was wondering if theres anyway, i can add bots on either blue or red team in a made server, like it was possible in CS: Source.

How do you find out your Wii friend code?
