Your right about the USB port. The controller ports on the XB are USB ports with a different connector. When MS released the XB they didn't want it to seem too much like a PC and they felt USB ports are a PC thing, so they changed the connector to disguise things. As far as converting it to a 15 pin gameport, this is not so simple as just spicing some wires together with the proper connectors. At the very least, you need a power supply of some sort, a microcontroller, a USB host controller, some digital potentiometers
, and lots of software. See:
this team built a playstation controller converter With an XBOX things are alot more complicated than the playstation.
Btw this has already been discussed. I think i am going to get really irritated if someone asks this question again:
