It wasn't cheap, and unfortunately the 360 came out soon after, and it's been collecting dust ever since. The sad part is I can't even use it on the 360..
Now to the "new" part of this. I know I too am eagerly awaiting the patch, but it occurred to me, why are we waiting for the game manufacturer to come out with a patch to remap buttons/sticks. Why can't Microsoft do that on the console? If the console would allow you to remap your joysticks and buttons at a hardware level, all of the games could be remapped to whatever configuration works for you. I don't see how handling input from the controllers can't be "rewired" at the same level as say the tcp/ip settings. You have a configuration screen with two pictures of the controller. The first is the default, and the second is where you have remapped everything. It wouldn't be hard to swap all stick0 input with stick1, button0 with buttonX at an OS level.
Anyone have any connections with Microsoft? How about the game developers? Let's put the console to work for us.

Athough I like the idea, it would involve Microsoft working on something without directly making money with it. So I'm guessing this won't happen.
