Product Description:
The DVD Movie Playback Kit is a quick way to expand the functionality of the best gaming machine around! Xbox requires this kit to enable DVD movie playback. Simply plug in the infrared receiver to a controllerport and use the remote control designed for DVD movie playback. No messy cables or confusing game controllers to deal with!

Amazon.com Review:
Got an Xbox? Do you enjoy watching DVDs? Then you need one of these. This DVD playback kit unlocks the DVD functionality of Microsoft's powerful Xbox and helps make the console an even more important addition to your home entertainment deck.

Feeling rather light in hand, this remote features large keys that feel rubbery yet firm. The kit sports some of the basic functions you'd expect from a common controller, including chapter skip, play, pause, and number buttons. There's also handy 32x fast-forward and reverse controls.

Pressing the display button calls up a friendly onscreen menu that allows access to more features, including up to 10x magnification, A-B playback loop (for cueing and viewing favorite scenes repeatedly), and subtitle and audio options. It's worth noting that many lower-cost DVD remotes have access to such features through the press of a button. The fact that this one requires you to use a menu to access such common commands may rankle DVD aficionados, as the menu is a bit slower than using buttons. Still, the menu is quite intuitive and couldn't be much easier to use.

For the remote to work, you'll need to plug the included infrared receiver into an open controller port on the Xbox. Most gamers will never need to unplug the receiver again, as you can plug it into the rarely used fourth port. Interestingly, the receiver works best when the remote is operated almost directly in front of it, and can be a little finicky when signals are sent from the far left or right.

The couch potato crowd won't be thrilled to learn that the remote does not include power or eject buttons. Why such standard features were omitted escapes us, but that is far and away the worst thing we can say about an otherwise decent control. --Mark Brooks

Pros:
  • Though very lightweight, the controller seems sturdily made and the buttons are large and comfy
  • Uses any of the 4 Xbox game controller ports; rarely gets in the way
  • Gives the Xbox cool DVD playback features
  • Onscreen menu is very easy to use
Cons:
  • No power or eject buttons
  • A-B looping, subtitles, and language selects--as well as other features--are only accessible via onscreen menus
  • Cannot use the remote from far to the left or right of the sensor

5 out of 5 starsCouldn't find it anywhere else
I am not wanting to upgrade to a new game system, but I need to repalce my old remote and the only place I could find it was on Amazon. Works flawlessly.



5 out of 5 starswow
The person who sold this to me is awesome...fast shipping, killer price, and what a great product!!!



5 out of 5 starsdvd playback
This item is a great asset to the xbox system. We really got our moneys worth with the xbox system. now we dont have to have a separate dvd player with this unit!



5 out of 5 starsXbox DVD playback kit
This item is a great DVD player alternative especially if you already own an Xbox



5 out of 5 starsX Box Remote
I was happy to see that they still sell these remotes because I've been using my X Box as a DVD player for years now and without the remote it's pretty much useless. Too bad it cost me almost 5 times what I paid for the item, in Shipping. My only recommendation is - when purchasing this remote might as well purchase 2 or 3 at 1 time and store them for future use. This way paying over $10 for shipping won't seem that bad.
