I bought a xbox 360 controller in this website. It works well just like the original one, and guests were coming over. The Xbox 360 didn't imediately recognize the new controller until I Pressed the small, round configuration/reset button on the front. After that, the controller and console were happy together. I found out that I played just as terribly with the new controller as with the old. At least for me, There is no difference between them.
