Video Games : Xbox Official DVD Movie Playback Controller

- Handy For Those One Off Occasions!
This is a very handy little piece of device, which can help you out on a couple of occasions! Obviously it is mainly used for DVD purpose, but you can actually also use it to move and make selections in the XBox Main Menu system which is ideal for me as sometimes I use the XBox to listen to music while I wrap up Birthday/Christmas Gifts and clean my bedroom and I think to myself "Why Do I Have To Keep On Reaching For That Controller All The Time When I Can Use This DVD Remote!"
A advantage with the remote as well is that it just requires 2 AAA Batteries which can last for a long time, and it is wireless with built in Infrared technology!
My Grade For This Device: 8/10: Enjoyable, Fair-Play, Thumbs Up
My Wish: Where the number digits are located, I wouldn't say no for if these numbers had letters like featured on Telephones and Remote Controls as if you need to rename something on the XBox Main Menu system, it would be helpful if you just use this rather than connecting and using a controller!
Final Comments: At the end of the day, this is a very handy and ideal controller! I'd fully recommend it if you're intentions are to use you're XBox for DVD Video use!

- Buy it!
To the review about how Bill Gates gets so rich:
By creating and selling Microsoft products such as Windows? Duuuuuuh!
This product works fine, stop complaining about it costing so much! Buy it used for only about a fiver and quit your yapping!

- Grr...
Everyone else is right... Microsoft are just trying to milk it even further... It's no surprise to see that this little gadget costs an extra £20... How do you think Bill Gates has got so rich?
Rating: - does the job well
The unit itself is pretty good, and it picks up the signal from the remote from a good distance. The handset is large, but well in character with the xbox itself.
The IR unit has to be plugged into one of the four controller slots, which is fine if you don't have three mates playing games on it often.
The xbox itself plays dvd's fairly well, certainly better than most mid-range DVD players in themselves, but to really get the most, you need to get a better connection that the standard scart and use s-video. Sadly that costs you more money.
Personally, if I had a DVD player before buying xbox, I would not bother buying it - but the dvd kit makes your xbox into a perfectly acceptable DVD player with no hassles and is very easy to get to grips with
Rating: - Only Region 2 playback
Can't complain about the quality but it irks to spend additional money for DVD playback. The final straw is only having Region 2 playback - expanding this will probably be the next money Microsoft want to extract from us!
