Xbox 360 Media Remote

Image
After receiving my Xbox360 remote, on Monday I must admit I had very little enthusiasm fo rthe thing. I only took it out of the packageing last night (mainly due to bordem) took it downstairs and put the batteries in. Wondering if I would be able to use it on my original Xbox. Once the batteries in to my delight, the whole thing is backlit with green led's (blue conversion someone!) which is fab, then is programed it to be able to control my Tele. Then WHAMMY! i had a very cool remote, that not only could turn on and off my tele ( have four remotes in the lounge currently that can do that ) but also adjust the volume and change channel (dont use my tele to change channel as i have sky). All in all if your looking for an remote on/off button and may be some way of raising and lowering the volume on your tele ( note: on your tele not your AV amp) and have very low lighting in your lounge, then this is the remote for you.

Using large portable/USB storage devices with your Xbox 360.

Tags: Xbox 360 , Xbox Storage Adding some storage capacity to your Xbox 360 is really easy to do. The best part about using a USB hard drive with your 360 is that YOU have control of what content you have on it. With the factory Xbox hard drive you cannot load any content to it unless its acquired from Live or ripped form CD's. That does not do much for us that want our MP3 collection on our Xbox 360's now. I'm not up for re-ripping my CD's again, nor am I satisfied with streaming as the only means of accessing MY media. I do bring my Xbox all over the place and would LOVE to be abut to use MY content. Hear that Bill, J Allard or Major Nelson.. I bet I am not the only one ;). I don't think the horse is dead yet, is it? Well I will just keep saying it till its delivered via Live or the mod scene works it out. more......................
