This is the approach taken by the Neuros OSD, a really cool device that lets you make your media yours. The developer community is free to make whatever modifications to the device they see as fit, and those that pass muster are rolled into future software upgrades that are available for free to the general public. The result is that, by developing software, you are in effect controlling the hardware.
