The Perfect 360 (I am assuming that it what you are talking about) IS an 8-Way (or 4-Way).

Further, and more to the point, I don't know of anyway to interface a 49-way with an XBox. As I said before, I don't have an XBox, but I think perhaps you are confused as to what your options are (can't really blame you after reading all the threads ... you should have mentionned XBox in the B/S/T thread).

Here are some links you may want to look at before you proceed further:

I hope these help clear up some of the confusion.

Cheers.
