The Bottom Line The Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless controller may be the most expensive first-party controller ever, but it's easily the best, too. With PC compatibility, the wired Microsoft Xbox 360 Controller makes a fine choice for a fourth controller. While it costs a bit more than it should, the DualShock 3 adds the rumble support that should've been present in the PS3 from the beginning.
