Gamemon FT8D91 Universal USB Converter -- a PS2, Xbox, and GC to PC adapter. $2, loose. I found some drivers online and tested it. Works fine with all three systems, rumble works, everything. That's awesome. There are a few drawbacks, though. First, buttons are all digital only -- there's no support here for PS2 pressure-sensitive buttons, GC or Xbox analog triggers, etc. And second, d-pads are mapped as hat switches only. If there's a way to go into dpad as digital X-Y axis mode, I don't see it. That's not good either. So there are some real drawbacks, but still, it works, and I'm sure I'll use this some -- it's a fantastic thing to have, really.
Oh, the other problem is that all three controllers are "installed" at all times, so dealing with games that only recognize your first attached controller might be a pain... the version of the drivers I have at least doesn't let you disable any of them as far as I can tell. That could be annoying. Still, it work
Second, these three PC games were $1 each. Yeah, that place is crazy, sure they only very rarely have any recent PC games, but when they do, you'd think they'd charge more... oh well, I'm not going to complain. :)

Rogue Warrior (complete) -- Not a game I otherwise would have gotten, I know it's bad. For $1, though? Why not.
Overlord (complete) -- A game I'd been considering getting ever since it came out... well, I have it now. Perhaps I should just think that I paid $3 for this one... Awesome. :)
Snowmobile Championship 2000 (jewelcase only) -- Infogrames racing game from 2000. I'm sure it's awful, or at best mediocre, but for that price, got it anyway.
This was $2, disc only.
