If you're one of a handful of people who own an x-box but no DVD player - this remote is, literally, essential to playing DVDs.
The x-box system is expensive for microsoft, and they don't make much profit off the systems. In order to play DVDs, companies have to pay a licensing fee to the motion picture of america association. Rather than include the costs of the license in the x-box system, they force you to purchase the DVD remote in order to play DVDs.
All this explains why - even though your x-box has all the hardware necessary to play DVDs without a remote - you have to buy a remote in order to actually watch DVDs.
My remote works well enough. Its batteries have lasted quite a while, and most DVDs play pretty well. It would be nice though if the remote had a power button.
Most standard DVD players work at least as well or better than your x-box, so I wouldn't recommend this item unless you don't already have a DVD player.

I mean think about it. You have an X-Box right? Why not spend a few extra dollars on a DVD kit? There is no reason to buy a seperate DVD player. I wanted an x-box, and a DVD player for my room. I put the X-box downstairs and my other DVD player in my room, it worked great. The price isn't to bad on an x-box and the DVD kit definately isn't. The kit works great, no flaws, just a regular DVD player inside your video game!!!!!!!!!!

This product was thrilling at first - turn my Xbox into a cheap and reliable DVD palyer? Great! IT worked okay for a few months but now, 5 months later it does not recognize hardly any DVDs. It jsut says "this is not an Xbox game or recognizable DVD - please try again...." Do not waste your money - buy a real DVD player instead. You can get a decent one for under $40 almost anywhere. Even when the DVD unit did work, it doesn't even have a power button or an eject button. Microsoft has over promised and under delivered.

The DVD decoding should already have been included inside the XBox. An infrared reciever could have been built-in too, for that matter. There is no reason why they could not have done this. It was not a design decision to not include it, it was a financial one. It's also lame because it takes up another controller port on the XBox, meaning alot of switching around. This is not very convinient, and yet the purpose of a remote control is for convinience.Before the XBox's launch it was said time and time again that the XBox would have progressive scan DVD playback. If Microsoft ever said that it was changed then that must have been just before launch. So instead of having a high-end console and a high-end DVD machine. SO instead of having the XBox be a high-end DVD machine and a game machine, it's just a game machine that will play DVDs if you fork over fifty bone... still, it is an essential piece of hardware for XBox owners.

I am not commenting on any specific company here. But my good deal on a remote turned out to be for a DUPLICATE and not the ORIGINAL FROM MICROSOFT.
There is a big difference in quality , atleast with my piece.
I should have bought a used MICROSOFT remote rather than a NEW DUPLICATE.
PLEASE CONFIRM BEFORE YOU BUY
