    Is my friend right in thinking that this can be used on PC? Or is it just the wired one/wireless one with a PC receiver that can do this?

    Can't seem to find a definitive answer!

    I'm 90% certain it doesn't work. Reason being the 360 controller still sends the signal wirelessly, its just its getting its charge through the wire. I tried this with a friend cause we wanted to do Left 4 Dead split screen on PC, but it didn't work. =(

    @evadwolrab: Make that 100%. It does not work. Wireless controllers still transmit their data wirelessly when hooked up with the Play And Charge kit, a wireless gaming receiver is needed to use wireless 360 controllers on a PC.
