Nothing says "gamer inside" on your front door like having a NES controller for a doorbell. In this unrevealed gamer home, a NES controller was modded into a wireless doorbell, giving visitors an added treat when coming over.

As you can see, any button works fine, so if the plastic fails on one button, there are seven more to choose from. The modder did this by opening the NES controller, then he hacked a wireless doorbell system, then he mounted the receiver inside.

Would be cool too if he modded it into a door lock with the controller as a keypad, then you'd have to input something a la cheat code to get into his house.

Do you think users could sue for getting Nintendo Fingers if the guy didn't answer the door?
