[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 368915, member: 13739"] They're still available in the UK from sites like Play.com. Not sure about Aus, but if they're not being sold then it's not because MS have discontinued them. LordHope. I think you're being a little harsh on Microsoft there. It's called a 'Charge & play' kit, and is only advertised and sold as an xBox 360 accessory. PC's simply don't have the capability to recieve the wireless signal without a dongle, and what's the point in MS sending the signal down the 'charge and play' kit when the remote already has the ability to do this wirelessly with the xbox 360 console. The fact that Microsoft have made the 360 controller compatible with the PC is great, as it gives access to a great controller for PC users. Buying the wireless dongle should be expected in order to use the wireless reciever, there's just no other way. It's not a money spinning thing (although £16 is a little steep for the wireless reciever), it's just a fact that PC's aren't the same as consoles and simply don't have the reciever built in like every 360 console does.
