How many wired controllers fit on an Xbox 360?

How many wired controllers can fit on an Xbox 360? I've heard just 2, but other people say that there is another port in the back, and still others say that there is a hub that you can connect to an Xbox 360. What is the maximum number of wired controllers that you have been able to fit on your Xbox 360?

BTW, I have a new Xbox 360 250 GB if that makes a difference.


Solution 1:

The Xbox 360, 250 GB S console has 5 standard USB 2.0 ports. Games like Rockband came with a USB hub that allowed more game controllers to be plugged in. The older models before June 2010 had 3 ports, two in the front and 1 in the back.

Most games are only going to be compatible with up to 4 controllers at most locally.
