Why can't I use my wireless pad at XL?
With a lot of Xbox 360 consoles and players in close proximity to each other, there are obvious problems when trying to synchronise your controller to the correct console. As the Xbox 360 wireless pad only has a small number signals and simply turning on a wireless pad will create a connection to a console at random. Wireless pads are banned at XL and you may only use a wired controllers.
Can I use my wireless controller if i use my plug'n'charge kit?
