Most likely at the USB ports concealed behind the slider. On the right of the picture.

The wired/wireless ordeal is Microsoft' s attempt of making a video gaming caste system
" Nintendo' s an innovator,
Sony' s an imitator."

Yet, for some reason, it' s Sony that gets all the credit.

Yay! Down with those " wired" bastards!

I really needed a political issue to stand behind for once in my life! Thanks Microsoft!

Didn' t Nintendo invent wireless controllers??

Goodness no. The first wireless controller I remember was made by Acclaim for the NES.

Wow! You know what? I remember that! And I remember that I wanted one SOOOO bad.

Remember these accesories for the NES?

The NES Power Glove!
The U-Force controller that looked like a laptop!
The hands-free controller, that you played with your CHIN (for physically disabled folks)!
The NES Max! I think this one was the first one with handles on the bottom.

Continuing on with the fact that the wired controller relies on the USB ports, i believe its two ports are available (refresh me if i' m wrong) the amount of controllers is limited to it, so no four wired controllers?

Probably not. But why buy a wired controller when you can go wireless? If you say can' t afford the $10 extra you' re lying.

Don' t forget the recharge kit which is 20 bucks. So technically it' s an extra 30 bucks for a wireless controller.

If I' m correct, there is also a USB port on the back that can be used for a controller. So that makes three wired controllers. Basically, you still have to plunk down the dough for one of the wireless kind if you want 4 player action.

There are two usb ports in the front under the little flap next to the power botton and one in the back, but I just thought of something. since you can have four wireless controllers and three wired conrtollers, couldn' t we use them all at the same time to make for seven possible controllers at once. I' m guessing not otherwise M$ would have said so. Not that I care anyways, I don' t even have seven friends.
