Re: pic: 2008 Remote

Unfortunately, a 360 controller will not work this year. Microsoft, in their infinite wisdom, decided to go against the industry standards and created their controller in such a way that it requires special drivers to work on anything other than an xBox. if you plug it into your computer, you have to download and install the drivers for it.

Likewise, NI, in their infinite wisdom, implemented the OI this year with only 1 set of drivers - those for the industry standard. Sure, they captured 90%+ of USB controllers out there, but it means the xBox controller is no longer an option. Oh well, we've gotta find something else this year!
