I have a Xbox 360 Wireless Controller. What would it take for it to work on my PC? Is it bluetooth or some other technology? Can I just buy any bluetooth card? Is there a special USB cable that can be connected to it?

I believe it is a properitary technology. You have to buy a USB reciever for it.

You'd have to get a whole new controller to connect it to your PC. That's what I had to do at least.

What Tosa said, Microsoft has official usb recievers that you can use with your wireless controller.  I have one and it works well.
