Adam91 Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 If it's gonna go by the exchange rate then it should be around £15, not as expensive as I expected. That is if they do go by the exchange rate. Cool article zebra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maestro Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 Oh good, I always needed a PVR remote. XD This is a nice idea though. Instead of messing around with a controller if you're watching a movie or show, just get the remote! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCPO Mayh3m Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 Sounds nice, I might pick one up later, but as of right now I control everything with motion controls and voice command. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VinWarrior Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 An interesting design I must say, I have my remote for my PS3 which is situated in my living room to watch TV, so this would go along quite nicely. I do quite like the 'snowboard' shape they're going for, my only concern is how small it is. Compared to an actual cable remote, it looks quite tiny. But, I could adapt to it. Good article Mr. Zebra.

Drizzy_Dan Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 Hmm they must've changed the pricing since the announcement?

ShockGazm Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 It's slick and looks good but the real question is, does it work properly? You know what remotes can be like, you press a button and it either takes a few seconds that previously thought for the action to go through or you have to hold it closer to the TV which is like super effort it you're lazy. #firstworldproblem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Of Harts Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 I personally don't see the point in a media remote. You could just use a regular controller to pause, rewind, etc. or maybe use a Smartphone with SmartGlass. Why spend that extra £15 for something you really don't need? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unease Peanut Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 (edited) I personally don't see the point in a media remote.

Because using the controller as a remote is a pain in the butt. Edited March 1, 2014 by Unease P34nut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
