Did you sync the controllers up with the console? There is a small red button on the back indented into the battery, press and hold this in with a pin or something small until all 4 leds blink then one stays solid.

iv heard that those wireless ones arent meant to be much good you have to be right on top of it for it to work (so iv heard) but i know Morrisons do them for £7 which is a bargain i think
