I often use my 360 as an extender for my Windows Media Centre PC that is in a different room and for that purpose this product has been ideal. I don't play DVDs on my XBox but I imagine this remote is just as useful for those that do.Physically the remote is comfortable and fits the hand nicely, although it doesn't balance in the middle so can feel a little bottom heavy though this will only bother you if you're very very fussy. The buttons light up brightly when you press one and the layout is reasonable. I like having insant access to Live TV and the Guide from the red and yellow buttons respectively and the "windows" button usefully turns on the XBox from cold and boots straight into the

I brought this product simply because firstly, i use my xbox as the household DVD player, and constantly turning the controller off and on was a nightmare as i wanted to save the batteries for when i play games. Secondly, i recently had a new TV and the supplied remote is frankly poor. It took me a good 15 minutes to set it up with the TV. I used the codes on xbox's website and had no luck connecting it with my TV, so i tried the scanning option - which worked. However, there are some buttons, key buttons, which don't work. Such as, Guide to see the programmes, mute and i can't turn my TV on with the remote, but i can turn it off..? However, they are the only bad issues with it. The look,

This remote is a slick piece of kit, and it's very easy to use. However, having used it for a couple of days I am left wondering how essential it really is. Sure, I can navigate through TV channels and the XBox 360 at the touch of a button, but since it doesn't have an AV button on there I still have to use my regular remote to get to the console screen in the first place (making the TV side of things pretty useless).If you are considering this item, you probably use your 360 as a DVD player on top of a games console. If this is you then I would recommend the product; it puts a stop to fiddling around with the controller and speeds up the whole process.

To use Xbox 360 as a media centre device, this is the remote controller that you will want to use it, it has the buttons precisely for about everything (except RB/RT and LB/LT).The remote uses two normal batteries and it has a green led which makes it perfectly usable to use at night which is when it becomes dark, as light's usually out.For Xbox 360, the remote is already configured for the console, however, for a TV you will need to check via this list and the codes that are available: [...]Here's the disadvantage of this Xbox Media Remote: Within 2-3 weeks the batteries will start to phase out and it will no longer be able to function correctly as a TV/Xbox remote because the batteries have to be replaced.So either,

Needed a remote as I was getting fed up of turning my wireless controller off & on every time i wanted to watch a movie.I stumbled upon this 360 remote & have not looked back since. it has all the buttons you require other than an av button to which in my case means I then need another remote to changeto av, but this isn't a huge downfall. Very easy to rig up to my TV. Just went on help on X-box 360 live - went to the help section & searched for remote control. Brought up the section I required & a huge list of TV codes that you can program into your remote so that it connects to your TV. very simple :O)Also lights up green when using so when you are watching a good horror late, with no lighting,

This remote control is a fantastic add on for anyone who uses the XBox to watch DVD's.I have my XBox linked up to a NAS so that movies can be streamed around the house - and this remote control makes it so much easier to navigate the Windows Media Center Connector for XBox.Some people are saying that the remote can be pointless as they are still having to use their TV remote to change AV channels to get the Xbox on in the first place...I have a Panasonic Viera television and by selecting input on the XBox remote allows me to choose the inout for the TV.Great all rounder with superb looks - my only criticism would be to have a TV and an Xbox button so you can switch between functions without

While well made and totally functional, the additional feature of basic TV controls is badly implemented. Numerical codes can be entered into the handset to make it work MOST TVs. The instructions say that the codes are available on the XBox website... If you can find them, you're a better man than me. The alternative is to trawl through a series of "off" commands by pressing the up or down channel buttons, which is more luck than judgement. Once you've got it working, it does its job extremely well... but getting it working is a pain. If you just want remote DVD controls, go for one of the cheaper 3rd party remotes.

I recently had to start using the Xbox to watch video due to an issue with our other player. Watching DVDs was a nightmare when we wanted to pause for something as we had to press the X button on the controller, wait for that before we could pause etc. It is a joy to watch stuff now with this remote, it turns the Xbox on super quickly and off, no need to keep pressing the X button it works immediately. If you are intending to do a lot of viewing on the Xbox then buy this remote.

The product does exactly what it is designed to do - works tv and xbox. However had to set media remote options to use both media remote and normal controler on xbox console itself. Easy enough once you know you have to do it. Could not find any instruction telling you that this may need to be done, in the instructions or on the Microsoft website. Wish I had known this earlier as I would not have wasted 30 minutes of my life trying to get it to work.

i have just bought this from game, i thought to make it work line of sight is necessary as my xbox elite lies behind my samsung tv to my surprise all i had to do is point to tv and it works ok without any problems.. i am very happy as moving xbox to the front was not required... i had absolutely no problem tuning it with tv and backlit keys look so cool... a must buy if you stream movies from ur pc or use your xbox360 primarily for streaming content.

This is an official microsoft xbox 360 Remote, what more can you ask for at a bargain price.I wasn't sure at first about ordering but item arrived sealed and brand new so am very happy with purchase.Fast delivery as well was impressed!! Comes with 2 AA Duracell Batteries inside packaging.And if you lucky to have your xbox360 linked up to you pc with media player extender then you need this remote what a dream to use!

This is pretty essential if you want to kick back and enjoy DVDs, music and stream media fom your 360. It is designed well to match the 360 console, has all needed fuctions and doesn`t put a dent in your pocket at the price it is selling for. If that wasn`t enough, the buttons are backlit as well so you can navigate through functions in dim light. All in all, a great piece of kit from microsoft.

Works perfectly and it's great to have a remote for the Xbox as the control-pad is annoying when you want to pause, stop or fast forward something you're watching or listening to. It's well worth the price and even better that you can also use it for your television. I'm able to turn off my Xbox and then change over to the television and flick through the channels all with the same remote.

I got this for my Xbox 360 that I purchased from a friend. It is well designed and comfortable to hold and the green back-lit keypad makes an attractive and useful addition for watching DVDs in the dark. It came with Duracell batteries too and it seems to have reasonable battery life. I would recommend for anyone who uses their Xbox as a DVD player on a regular basis.

I brought this to make using Windows media center on my Xbox360 that little bit easier, I recommend this remote to anyone who wants to use MCE on the Xbox360 - you can even turn the xbox on and off from it!!The only down side is that is uses infrared (unlike the controller) and you have to point the remote directly at the xbox as the range is not that great.
