Is it possible?

And am I alone?

So bassically, I have this vision of a minimalistic interface controlled completely by a game controller. Such as the Xbox 360 wireless controller (Which I just so happen to have). My basic idea is summed up in "XBMC" if you have ever seen that. Is this possible in Vista?

I would LOVE to be able to control my computer relaxed in my chair with an XBOX controller..

Anyone else want to see this happen?

I haven't looked for adapters for any newer systems, but I know they do exist for many console controllers. I have two psx adapters and one of them has a N64 port as well.

As far as using this to control your computer, I'd suggest using an application like JoyToKey, for example.

The XBOX 360 controller has a USB plug and Microsoft already supports it for it's games on PC. So I'll look into this app. Thanks!
