The Bottom Line	With PC compatibility, the wired Microsoft Xbox 360 Controller makes a fine choice for a fourth controller.	The Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless controller may be the most expensive first-party controller ever, but it's easily the best, too.	The Logitech ChillStream's cooling fan may not be very useful, but the controller is still superbly designed and will grow more useful as more Games for Windows titles are released in 2007 and beyond.
