Logitech Harmony Xbox 360 Remote

Pros: Easy to use, easy to program, supports Xbox 360 out-of-the-box

This is not my first Harmony remote. Even though I don't yet have a 360 (I know I'll be getting one sooner or later), I decided to go ahead and upgrade so that I could pass my older Harmony 688 on to a relative who really could use it. As soon as I heard about this remote, I knew I had to have one. As someone who is excited about the Media Center Extender abilities of the new Xbox 360 (because I've been looking for a way to hear my multiple gigabytes of mp3's and wma's through my home theater's sound system), I was thrilled to find out that I'd be able to use a Harmony remote to control the 360.

I just bought this remote and I can't get over how simple life is now. Let me get rid of all those remotes hanging around. With a touch of a button I can have my 360 on and running perfectly.
