no i dont have the xbox adapter. but there is such a thing. so i can just stick it into my mem card slot and plug my headset into it. nice, ill look for it online. is there anyways i can voice chat from my PC. i dont know, im just thinkin out loud. my logic is that i can type chat from my PC, so why cant i voice chat? but thanks for the tip snaf, ill look for that doo-hicky.

you will also need to get a 2.5 mm or w/e size is smaller then normal headphone jacks and wire both headphonce and mic jacks to that, or hardwire the headphones to the puk. either way, it will make them useless for pc, unless you can make a fancey adaptor. or after you get teh puk, you can go to a place that cell wired handsfree sets for phones, and most of those work, im using a body clove handsfree set right now, in amtter of fact.

in order for it to have worked, i needed the adapter that goes into the XB mem. slot. instead of getting just the adapter, i just got the XB headset, so the problem was bypassed altogether. thanks.

HEYY guess what, i finally got the thing from ebay. the remote control and the headset. ugh but i just realized u can never trust ebay people. the seller said that the items were gently used, well the infrared receiver for the controller, the part that plugs into the controller port was like bent, so i had to reajdust it. whatever it works fine now, but the hearset, i dont know how to used it. and when i plug in the charger, it doesnt charge. cuz there is supposed to be this orange light that goes on and im guessing that its supposed to stay on until the unit is charged. but it doesnt. maybe she charged it before sending it, idk. anyways, does anyone know how to use the headset, it looks like this.

.:GASP:. i think the seller ripped me off, i just checked online and it says that u need the XB communicator, and all i got was the headset. o this is gonna get her a bad review!!!
