4.0 out of 5 stars Does what I wanted it to do, May 21 2012

Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Xbox 360 Universal Media Remote (Video Game)

Pretty happy with the purchase, worked like a charm out of the box for the XBox and Media Center connected to it. Couldn't get it to control the television, but its an old model (10years+) and anyway, I'm not fond of supposedly "Universal" controller.

Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Xbox 360 Universal Media Remote (Video Game)

The "how much fun is this game" rating doesn't really apply for this item, but it still deserves a mediocre bit of praise. The remote is definitely not bad - it's nice being able to control the television and 360 using the same remote - but I found upon purchasing it that I simply do not really use or need it. The only time that I've found it especially practical to use is when watching DVDs on the Xbox 360.

All in all it's not very difficult to use your 360 controller to flip through a DVD menu, so if you have the slightest bit of hesitation in spending the money on this product I would recommend holding off. You're going to have a remote for your television anyway, you're going to need controllers for the games, so unless you're as obsessive compulsive as I am and require everything to operate off the same remote then this probably isn't the product for you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Well built, but only controls TV and Xbox360., Oct 2 2009

By

lefthome (Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Xbox 360 Universal Media Remote (Video Game)

The Xbox 360 Universal Media Remote has a solid build quality, and is well laid out and balanced for the most part. It will only control your TV and XBOX (no dvd, sat/cable box, tivo, etc...) so those looking for an all-in-one solution should look elsewhere (Logitech Harmony?)

Switching between TV and Xbox mode is required for powering the TV up/down. Would've liked to see a dedicated button for TV power.

Good value otherwise for those looking for an easy way to access media on the Xbox360.
