In talking to my friend, he came up with this possible solution to getting PS3 controllers working by Bluetooth: http://brnz.org/hbr/?p=378

DS3 = DualShock3
The wiimote is supported, and there are drivers for the DS3 available, so is there one for the N900?

I am more interested in Xbox360 controller. Is it possible to see something in future regarding this controller?

I don't know anything about newer consoles, but if they use Bluetooth for communication then it should be possible. Wiimote does. A quick google shows that Xbox360 wireless control uses 2.4GHz, which is in the range of Bluetooth. Whether it actually uses Bluetooth, i don't know.
If it's a proprietary wireless protocol then probably not. If it uses Bluetooth, it's probably only a matter of time.

Classic example of arbitrary Nokia decision making. Couldn't just fallback to the no brainer of tagging with lat/lon if network isn't accessible, could you Nokia?

I found that :
So, I guess we won't see anything about the xb360 controller. I wish I could use it for playing games. 
The wireless Xbox 360 controller uses a Xbox proprietary wireless connection to connect to the Xbox. The controller does not use Bluetooth or infrared signals.

One problem is that all PS3 controllers require a USB handshake for pairing, so until we get USB host mode or some other workaround is found, no DS3. Makes me sad since I have 3 DS3/Sixaxis controllers :/

but DS3 is bluetooth, and as it already works easily for computer already (all you do is plug in controller and download the driver) i'm sure you could trick DS3 to work for the N900

How did this solution go? Did he have any luck with the ps3 pad?
As above it would be awesome for hotels rooms etc while away on business. TV out, a sixaxis and the n900

This might be good for emulators on the N900. I was considering a zeemote, but a ps3 controller would be better in many respects. Are there any other decent bluetooth gamepads? (not that MSI one that splits and holds a portrait phone in the middle)
