Xbox DVD Movie Playback Kit Review (continued)

Pretty Useless
I used my remote all of about 8 times before it stopped working. Even with the proprietary dongle inserted into a controller slot you cannot control this thing with a controller, you must use the remote control. When you take the dongle out with a DVD in, a screen will come up telling to reinsert, so if either the dongle or the remote get slightly injured or malfunction, then you've just wasted thirty bucks. I feel quite ripped off. With the low cost of DVDs nowadays, it's a MUCH better idea to buy a standalone IMHO, you can get a good progressive scan for about $30 or $40, which comes out to about the same price.
As a side, it is also EXTREMELY annoying that you can't turn on, or off the device with the remote, you must go up to box to do it yourself, especially annoying if you just want to watch a DVD in your bed and crash afterwards.
All in all the value proposition offered by this product is very low considering the similarly priced alternatives.

DVDs don't play!
DVD's which play perfectly well on other cheap players, freeze/skip or don't play when I try to play them on the XBOX. Don't waste your money on this, buy a stand-alone DVD player instead so you won't have the frustration that I've had!

Do NOT buy Substitutes!!!!!!!!!! Buy the original!!!!!!
Buy the original Microsoft XBOX DVD Remote. I bought a substitute from Game Liquidation and after only 10 movies the receiver/transmitter stopped working. I did not get a refund although I returned the product.
The original remote is GREAT! No problems so far and I have seen dozens of movies - satisfaction guaranteed.

DON'T buy this
This remote is of awful quality; i've been through two of them in the past year. I wouldn't complain so much if it didn't cost $30! It's worth ten, at most. Most people would be better off buying a cheap DVD player, rather than using the xbox.
