I use MotioninJoy to emulate an XBOX controller for most games

Best Option!
Plus if you have Bluetooth, you can use it wireless without any adapters.

This works but bare in mind that if you ever buy an xbox controller you'll have to unistall the drivers that came with MotionJoy since it'll cause your pc to not recognize the controller.

The PS3 controller is a Generic USB Joystick Device, so yes it is supported. The configuration would depend upon the individual game.
EDIT: I missed the Big Picture Mode part. I haven't made use of it because I enjoy my PC with a mouse and keyboard. It shouldn't take much effort to find the answer though.

Not including drivers is not the same as monopolizing.
Thing is there are no official PS3-controller drivers for PC (as in, made by Sony), and Microsoft has a tendency to err on the side of not including third party drivers (from non-large companies).

I use a PS3 controller to play my steam games.Download Motionjoy(aka ds3 tools) and emulate the ps3 controller for xbox.If you want to connect it without usb you will have to install some BT drivers.

DS3 tool motionjoy is what I use, then make it act as an xbox controller or map the keys yourself :)
you can bind it to a bluetooth dongle or to your bluetooth in your pc (if you have any)
or use the cable ofcourse :)
good luck and happy gaming!
