    Thanks, the black long was going to come after Christmas, so I went looking for who they were price matching. Turns out it's JB. I had a couple of perks I'd set up and not used that were expired, but I was still able to use it. So got for $22. Should be ready to pick up in a couple of minutes.

    Edit: Oops, I'm not well, didn't realise the time. I guess it will be ready to pick up tomorrow.

    Seems to be on backorder?

    seems better than the Talon Media Remote that eats up batteries fast from the backlit buttons.

    • Faro on 10/12/2022 - 18:47

      I have the white one of this and the buttons are lot up on motion (like the PDP one) but batteries seem to last longer

    Pre-Owned official remotes are $9.00 at EB right now. Shipping is $6 I think.

      You'll probably get a third party one

      • Noobist45 on 11/12/2022 - 11:50

        I guess I was locked into my experience which was an original remote and brand new, despite the 3rd party and 2nd hand disclaimer.

        • jwh on 11/12/2022 - 12:38

          Are they good? I'm after a 'simple' remote.

          I've had the PDP Talon for a few years, and don't like it. Too many buttons and the layout doesn't lend itself to learning by muscle memory, seems slow to respond at times too.

    I had the long black one, found it very slippery to handle to the point of frustration and ended up replacing it with a Talon media remote instead, same functionaility but much nicer in the hand.

    The Xbox 360 and PS3 remotes were so good, it blows my mind that the PS4/XBONE and even the PS5/XBSX do not have something as simple as an eject button on their media remotes

    • lordezekiel on 10/12/2022 - 21:08

      Agreed, i used the 360 remote a lot, and having an eject button was very useful!

      • Jackson on 10/12/2022 - 22:50

        You can still run plex on the 360 right? What was the Max res for video playback?

        • coxymla on 10/12/2022 - 23:02

          Sounds like it only does 720, which is odd when a 360 has no problems playing back 1080 content.

          • Jackson on 10/12/2022 - 23:05

            @coxymla: Sorry you mean plex only allows 720p when the 360 allows 1080p from other sources? I haven't really tested it but from memory the interface/dashboard is 1080p

            • coxymla on 10/12/2022 - 23:06
              +2

              @Jackson: I don't run Plex on my 360, so I can't say for sure, sorry.

              I just did a quick google and found a reddit thread complaining about it.

              Considering you can plug a USB stick into the 360 with 1080p mkvs and play them back fine it seems like an odd limitation.

              • Jackson on 10/12/2022 - 23:10
                +1

                @coxymla: Yes, unless the steam is highly compressed and required decompression, I can't see why that would be the case. Let's face it, if you cna run a 3d FPS At 720p at a decent frame rate then a 1080p video should pose an issue

    • Faro on 11/12/2022 - 14:09

      I've never understood an eject button on a remote.

      You still have to stand up and put your hand on the disc to remove it from the console and that's, like, a centimetre from the eject button on the console.

      This is something that has confused me since I was a kid watching DVDs

      • caprimulgus on 11/12/2022 - 14:15

        Fwiw, I always used the eject button on the remote - by the time you stood up and got to the device, your cd/dvd was there waiting to be removed. As opposed to pushing the button on the device and having to wait a few seconds for the mechanism to open.

        I mean, I'm not saying this is a significant or substantial benefit, and I would probably never even have noticed if this button was missing (it is definitely not a dealbreaker to me, and I cant honestly say I have even thought about it before!). But now that you mention it, it is definitely a feature that I made use of, however insignificant that benefit was.

        Just fwiw.

      • hawktalk on 12/12/2022 - 22:32

        For me its the convenience of being able to take/swap discs by the time you get to the machine as it ejects the disc. I'm also very picky with pressing buttons on a console/media player on unstable tables (OCD kicking in big time - when reading instruction manuals for devices that get bumped/moved with discs inside).

  • justtoreply on 10/12/2022 - 20:27

    I use this. Not sue if you can still get them but dedicated power button (that can power on or off), dedicated eject button and full keyboard is a winner for me

    Are people using their xboxes as media players often? I always avoided it since I could play media on nay old thing. Last thing I was is my xbox capping itself cos I was watching Seinfeld reruns

    • caprimulgus on 11/12/2022 - 01:08

      We use our Xbox One as our main media centre (streaming + free to air TV on the extremely rare occasion we watch that, which is hardly ever). I got it really cheaply from Ozbargain, and it was back in the day before Shield TV / when they were far more expensive, and way before all these Firesticks and Google TVs etc.

      I guess I could replace it with a Firestick TV…but I haven't really messed around trying to install Kodi and stuff on that, so havent bothered trying to switch over yet.

    • AustriaBargain on 11/12/2022 - 03:37

      I use my XSX for everything. I gave my Apple TV 4K to a friend. I wish I didn't though, I miss Infuse. And I can't use my AirPods on the xbox easily. And I miss being able to cast my phone and MacBook to the Apple TV. My TV only has two 4K@60hz ports tho, and one is used by XSX and the other by PS5.

        My TV only has two 4K@60hz ports tho, and one is used by XSX and the other by PS5.

        It doesn't really matter how many ports your TV has, because you can use HDMI switches and/or an AV Receiver to add as many HDMI ports as you need.
        More than 2 devices to a 2 port display is totally doable 👌

        • AustriaBargain on 11/12/2022 - 08:33

          I might have to get something like that, because I sure don't want to buy another TV.

      • CookieJacker31 on 11/12/2022 - 09:52

        HDMI selector/switch.

    • nfusion on 11/12/2022 - 07:48

      I am asking the same thing. My LG TV inbuilt apps works well for plex and the major streaming services I use like Netflix, Prime and Disney+. Else I would use a GTV. Using my XSX seems like an expensive waste of power. Not that I have done the calculations to work out cost VS GTV :)

    • splicer on 11/12/2022 - 10:06

      Yes I do!

      I have problems watching Netflix on my TV, after a while it just stops working, it lags, it signs me out, doesn't load… not sure how to fix apart from resetting the whole TV back to default. I can't search and add new apps on my TV either, just standard ones. So I can't access Amazon Prime, Disney+, Twitch, etc.
