Pc controllers? i have a win vista. and if i buy a pc controller for the pc and just plug it in...do i need to install something really hard like using a cd rom or something like that...suppose to have GBs and all that...or just plug in and play?

If you're on Vista, especially one that you've ran Windows Update on since you've installed it, then 90% of controllers are going to be plug-and-play for you.

I say 90% because if you're using some no-name cheapo controller you got at a yard sale / strange imported gamepad, it might have it's own weird drivers that need installing. Other than that, you should generally be good to go.

That said, many controllers need their own software installed if you want to do advanced stuff like setting up custom profiles for particular games, etc. But it seems like for what you want to do plug-n-play plud using the windows control panel--->game controllers should suffice. Good luck!
