Several people have done this, have a look at the speedcubing.com record list for this. And not just this, also relays (more than one cube) or Super 5x5 and Megaminx.
Dror was very close in Orlando, he only had a blue and a green center swapped. And he's a *lot* faster than me. I didn't practice it since my solve at Euro2004, and it took me embarassingly long to just analyze/memorize. After about 3 hours or so I had to give up cause another event started. But at that point I had already made two mistakes or so. Next time I'll be prepared better, I swear. Try solving 3x3 blindfolded first, that's really easy. And then to step up to the larger puzzles it's just a matter of memorization techniques. And a matter of dedication/motivation. It's all a matter of dedication/motivation... Cheers!

IE, do you (after every move), go through all the sides, picturing what colors were placed where as a result of your move?
