I feel I should also mention that the Xbox360 USB wireless receivers are all over eBay right now for $13 USD on average. They're all coming from Hong Kong. This should make a lot of you guys happy who already own Xbox360 systems and don't want to spend money on a controller+dongle combo, as those go for $60 or so at Best Buy.
The way I look at it, the more people who get a similar setup on their XBMC media center boxes, the quicker someone starts implementing easy-to-install or built-in emulator/ROM add-ons. I know that adds a little bit of illegitimacy to the XBMC platform (ROM legality, etc), but that's a major part of why I bought my first modded XBOX. I've since moved on from that system *except* for the fact that it is loaded with all the emulators and ROMs I could ask for.
Lastly, I do realize there's a ROM launcher add-on, but based on the little bit I know about it, it's not exactly a piece of cake to get it working. Anyway, that's my next mission.
