I don't want to have to pay $30 for either a wired controller or the receiver itself. And on eBay, sellers in Hong Kong have them cheaper (about $11-$15). But i bought my 120gb hard drive for 360 from Hong Kong, and it lacks a specific driver or component or code that would allow me to play original 360 games.. so I am skeptical that this wireless receiver from hong kong would work properly or even be compatible with my american made PC, 360 controller, and PC games.. >>EDIT<< "But I bought my 120gb hard drive for 360 from Hong Kong, and it lacks a specific driver or component or code that would allow me to play original >>>Xbox<<< games..." I meant games like Halo 1 and 2 and other games from the original Xbox. It's a known issue, it's because it's not made by Microsoft. So I don't know if the wireless gaming receiver would work or maybe be missing something like that.

most stuff that is "original" is made in hong kong in the first place. the problem with your hard drive is very suspicous i agree, but it is always a gamble with cheap stuff from ebay. the problem here is really: either take the gamble and buy cheap but take the risk of broken/not working items; or: buy it more expensive from a local retailer and have a product that works. my solution: you can always look out for used recievers. they might be just about the same price as the ones from china. alternatively you can buy a wired controller. it can be used or not "original" xbox and still work with your pc. i have a speedlink (xbox layout) controller for my pc games and that one works nicely. i payed just about 10รข‚¬ for it hope it helps cheers
