All xbox 360 controllers use either usb or completely wireless and older xbox is hard to come by or it is in Uk at least. REally ps2 would be easier apart from quality of the microsoft controllers i find is much higher than sony and copies of ps2 controllers. My old sony ones twisted abit and one broke completely when dropped a few feet by accident. My xbox ones are still intact with only problem being an oil stain on one and theyve recieved a real battering
