Is there such thing as a wireless controller for the Xbox ?

Wow. I mean wow. Been around since 99 and don't know about the search button? There have been numerous threads on this topic. tsk. tsk.

On to post two. I have that controller. It is great. I have used it for a year and a half. Size-wise it is bigger than the S but smaller than the original controller. I would be careful buying this one though. This controller went through a re-design at some point. I bought one when they came out and after about 6 months the left thumbstick became 'loose.' Logitech replaced it, no problems b/c it is under warranty, but buying one used, you might get a slightly broken one.

$10.95 shipping? Ebay sellers are such a joke. I was wanting to bid on a poster the other day until I saw that shipping was $15. $15 for a friggin' poster tube. But that is another topic for another forum.

That is the older model, the newer ones only take 2 AA batteries, and have many improvements (search for logitech xbox, should pull up a few threads).

Just picked one up myself and I'd have to agree.

Dead horse, I'd like you to meet stick. Stick, dead horse.

But, having said that, The Logitech one is awesome, as long as you aren't going to be playing Live with it.
