Modded Xbox Remote Recommendations

savemejebus · 03-02-2006 11:13AM #1

I'm finding that I'm using my xbox as a media centre more than anything these days and the controller is getting a bit annoying (short cable). So I was thinking about getting an xbox remote and was just wondering does anyone have any experience with using a remote instead of a controller on their modded xbox.

If so do ye have any recommendations about whether to get an official remote or an unofficial one from ebay. I watch mostly divx and a mix of region 1 and 2 dvds.

Thanks

i have the offical remote and its worth every penny. its great for divx and music. you can use all the shortcuts that the controller has ('add to now playing' etc in videos and music). and you can use a program to map each function to a button. like volume up/down and fast scroll, etc.

the only problem that i have found is that its not very compatable with dvdx player.but that dosnt really matter now coz the newer xbmc has a proper dvd player built in.

Its totally worth the 25 quid

cool, are there any problems paying region 1 dvds with it (i'd assume the dongle is set for Region 2).

Also where can you get it for 25?
