    It feels like a real quality item. Nice texture and the illuminated buttons are cool too :D

    In regards CDKEYS. I don't have Facebook but can I get a friend to like their page for the 5% discount or is it linked to my email address?

    EDIT forgot to add the bargain. The Division - E14.39 on CDKEYS.

    Should be ok, code is randomly generated, got a code once that didn't work just got another one.

    This is why I got it for the old man. He's got his Virgin Horizon box running through his Xbox. He was giving out about having to use the controller (no problem playing games with it though ha ha).

    It's actually a lovely little remote :)

    I've seen a 3rd party one on eBay for £8. If it does the same job that's some saving...

    I was lucky enough to grab a Gamestop branded one for €2 when the they were selling them off. Works grand.

    Exactly... why buy something for 5 times the price? Build quality might be better but it's just a remote!

    If you don't mind waiting weeks (and weeks.... and weeks) for one, aliexpress have the same remote for around 5 euro. Here's one, but lots of other sellers

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    Does anyone else use the Xbox app as a remote? I find it useful.

    Does the actual remote offer much more? Or is it just another remote to add to the pile? :D

    Yep, I do. The startup time of the app is my only real gripe

    Yeah what is that about. Strange how they still haven't fixed it.

    I use a Logitech harmony remote, which I use to control everything in my media centre. At least, I did, until I got rid of everything but the Xbox, so now I use a ridiculously expensive remote to do what a five pound one would do. Ah well.

    Any chance of an xbox bargain alert in our near future.:D

    And rise they did.

    E2 to E5 and E5 to E10.

    I had a voucher so went in, showed stock... was told they were sold online.

    I went into Gamestop and they had both for e5 each, plus they had 3 for 2 so took a second BF3 that I'll sell to CEX for e4/e6.

    Because some people like to spend a bit of money for a high quality item. A remote yes, but something I'll be using nearly every other day.

    Thanks do you know if we would need to pay import duty on this?

    Its from the UK which is still part of the EU so no import duty should be applied.

    Great thanks. Reason i asked is because some game sites ship from Jersey which due to its tax poilices seem to get flagged at customers here Zavvi being one that i know.

    Well, if you are unsure you could always get it sent to Parcel Motel or Parcel Wizard.
