If you've gotten them to work on your PC then they should work just fine in any games. Just get the drivers from windows update and it should register as an XBOX 360 controller for any of the console ports.

i think i have to buy the Microsoft receiver. i haven't found anywhere on the net that will tell me if i can use my own Gateway Receiver. do you think i have to sync my 360 with media center first?
