You're confused... and scared. But it's okay.
Does anyone use PS3 controllers with XBMC on Windows 7? If so, I'd like to know how to set it up because a.) I'm used to them and b.) I don't really feel like laying down another 70 for wireless controllers. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Sorry, I realize that's kind of vague, but maybe it'll point you in the right direction.

Thanks- I'll give it a shot, and if I get it working I'll let everyone know how I did it.

Just so everyone knows, it is possible to set up the PS3 controller to work with XBMC on Win7. You need a Bluetooth dongle and to download the drivers from mediainjoy.com.

After using it, I can't really recommend it to anyone. Yes, it works, but if you need to reboot your computer for any reason, you need to plug the controller into the pc and Bluetooth pair the controller again. It's more of a pain in the rear end than it's worth, especially compared to the 360 controller.
