A driver disk instead of DLing it off the net??
There shouldn't be, no. You'd just have to download a driver for it.
By the way, the wireless to USB PC adaptator should be released soon, if it didn't already. With it you can use a wireless X360 pad on your PC. It would be more pricey than buying a USB pad, but it could come cheaper, and more practical, if you already own wireless X360 pads.
It may also be a good idea if you play on gaming on an HTPC.

Um its the exact same controller..
I didnt even have to install any drivers, just plugged it in and it worked.
It even recognized the Xbox Live Wirless headsett!!!
Not quite the end of the story; use XBCD drivers for better functionality:

I've already seen it available at my local Wal-Mart(YMMV) here in the US. BTW, it's called the "Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming Receiver for Windows". It should cost around $20US. Amazon.com currently has it for $17US.

Funny... My controller for PC was cheaper than the 360 branded version...
But yeah, no difference at all. Although finding the drivers is annoying.

I had no problem finding drivers for mine. I just went to windows update after i plugged it in.

You can't just release a peripheral targeted/packaged for the PC market that needs a driver and then not include the driver. Thus you have the driver CD and slightly higher MSRP or whatever.
Sure you can, I mean who games and does not have a net connection? An extreme few, an extreme extreme few.
Does anyone know what the Vista drivers are like? I would expect them to be pre-installed and pretty good.
Hopefully I will know in a day or two anyway as my wireless reciever is due today/tommorow

Why not? Who actually installs the drivers off of any cd's that come with any hardware anyway? As far as I am concerned they might as well save me the costs and not include any manuals/cds.

That "extreme few" will complain.
If it bothers and perplexes you this much just buy a standard wired 360 controller from the 360 peripherals section and quite your bitchin'. Honestly, a lot of you like making a big deal out of nothing. Then when someone comes along and offers a simple explanation for why something is done you've always got a "smart" answer for it.
If you feel you don't need a driver CD DON'T BUY THE CONTROLLER THAT INCLUDES THE DRIVER CD. It's pretty cut and dry. It's not like you don't have a choice.
