I love how HTML5 let's my code work almost everywhere. Thanks for the story.

Makes the Gamepad API more relevant...

Do you think Microsoft would ever support Gamepad API on Xbox, opening the market for free online games instead of going through their own store? It seems unlikely to me.

I haven't dug through this 14-page document yet: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=3044...

But the gamepad API could easily supported. Only problem is the controller now has default behavior (controlling the browser cursor).
