FWIW, my pc is connected to an epson home cinema 1080p projector and displayed on a 106' screen. My computer chair is a leather recliner

Controller issues aren't that bad

I've been playing with my Xbox360 controller a lot recently on my PC

It's questions like this that frustrate me because it really shows that PC Gaming could be so, SO much more popular than it is if people were just more educated on the platform.

I am BY NO MEANS insulting you, or anything like that, so please don't take it that way. I'm just saying it's frustrating because there are many, many people out there who just aren't aware of what the PC platform is capable of in terms of gaming and they just don't know what they're missing.

Quite frankly, it costs FAR more over the lifetime of a console to upgrade your PC to play the latest and greatest games which for most of us are console exclusive (like NCAA and The Show). Constant patches and not being able to play on your TV unless you run long cables through your house all just add to the annoyance of PC gaming for me. I've always stuck with consoles and don't see a big reason to change.

Personally I think high end PCs are vastly overrated and over priced for the general consumer who only want to surf the net, send e-mail and store pictures. If you own a high end PC for whatever reason then PC gaming might be for you but my bare bones personal PC couldn't come close to console gaming and I don't plan on upgrading any time soon unless Firefox starts hogging a ton more resources.

i would think this is probably it

Lol, all that and you didn't even answer the question.

@NYMets, get an XBOX 360 controller for Windows. I think it's basically just a wired 360 controller.
