works for xbox and TVs >>>ONLY<<<by Ballpython21497 - April 26, 2007
Pros: only cost $20
Cons: isnt universal
Review:
This remote looked like it would be a great remote for me, BUT it only controls my xbox and my TV. I have a cable box like most people, which the "universal remote" does not control, so I cant turn my TV on with it, or change the channels (my TV is powered thru my cable box). The remote does not control my surround sound (which controls the volume and audio settings on the TV). So basically the only thing I gained by purchasing this remote was having a controller that had an eject button for my xbox tray. If you dont have the money to go out and buy a learning remote control, so you can program it to use with your xbox, I suggest sticking with using the wireless game controller to view DVDs on your Xbox. That is unless you only have a TV and xbox for a home theater system.

This remote is good - but only for xbox 360 owners. It works poorly alone. www.freeipodguide.org

Very Un-Universalby Happysox - December 5, 2005
Pros: Looks cool
Cons: Can't control stereo
Review:
This remote is only good if you have your 360 hooked directly to your tv. Most people have it hooked up through there surround sound though. This remote only works a TV and the 360. It is false advertising to call this remote Universal.
