Title: Xbox USB Ports
Post by: thefaint287 on October 18, 2007, 01:39:23 PM
Feel a little dumb askin\' this but at any rate...
I just realized that my Xbox 360 has USB ports hidden behind that little flap.  What can you use the USB ports for besides the WiFi device?  Also, I heard that you can plug wired controllers into the USB port...but how?  I\'ll double check but I don\'t think that my wired controllers fit the USB port.:confused:

yeah, the wired controllers plug in there, also if you got the wireless,a nd the charger cable, that plugs in there to charge them.... havent really stuck much in myself, hooked my ipod upa  few times, and think my mate brought a small harddrive round that had the files saved ina  certain way so we could watch the movies off of it...

It does fit. Only thing i\'ve ever put in mine is my ipod and that worked out fine.

I just wish they made it so keyboards and mouses worked, but nerp.

Do the old Xbox wired controllers work there too?  If so, I\'m in the game!  Or, do you have to buy a new wired controller that\'s compatible with the 360?  If that\'s the case, I might as well just get another wireless.  Let me know.

old xbox controllers arent USB, so no

I also debated a while about getting a wired and wireless controller as a second controller..i even bought the wired, changed my mine on the ride home, and returned it for a wireless.

Im just sick of wires getting all tangled up, which is inevitable at one point or another.

The only time i regret getting wireless over wired is because I wanted to use the controller on my PC. I really cant remember why off the top of my head, but several times i\'ve wished i had a wired controller so i could use it for that.
