I purchase this remote because I intend to use it to control my xbox 360 's Windows Media Center Extender functionality . I quickly notice how adept it be at control all media that can play on it , include other service like play dvd , Netflix , and even just navigate the dashboard -lrb- new dashboard release in the end of 2011 work great ! -rrb- . I be pleasantly surprised - it will make it possible for my girlfriend to control the xbox without have to learn how to use the regular xbox 360 controller or yell at it to get the kinect to hear she over my speaker . : - -rrb-
