just get a usb cable and if you don't wanna wreck your controller go to gamestop or something and pick up an extra breakaway cable, should be about 5 bucks. hack off the end that goes into the xbox and replace it with the usb and you'll still have the other end that plugs into the controller cord. then just match up the wires inside, all the colors are the same, but the xbox controller will have an extra yellow if i recall correctly. wire it up, dl the driver, and PLAY!!!
