Yes it will work. Both are the same controllers (Xbox 360 & the Xbox 360 controller for Windows). All you need to do is download the drivers for the controller from Microsoft's official website & you're good to go.my friend has an xbox 360 which went kaput..its not under warranty anymore so he won't repair it..he'll buy a ps3..now if i buy the controller from him, will it work on the pc or is the controller for the pc different?

naa.... i meant a "serial port to usb" converter so that i can make use of my old gamepad... got it for 550 bucks 6 years back and its still in one piece!!!To be honest, I have never seen a Xbox 360 controller with a serial port converter attached to it. Even if there is one, it should be detachable. USB is the default for the 360 controller. So you shouldn't have any issue.
