1.0 out of 5 stars Knockoff item, barely works. Don't buy!, August 19, 2011

This remote is not made by Microsoft and doesn't have any XBox logos on it.

The remote must be held within 4' of the XBox 360 in order to work, and always directly in front.

I wish I knew this before purchasing because this item is basically useless. Stick with your game controller instead of buying this.

This remote controller is a piece of junk, flat out does not work. Save your money and do not buy. Sold by third party and returns were more trouble that it was worth.

Put batteries in it, turned on my 360 and it didn't work in the dashboard or media center. To fix it I had to go to My Xbox -> System Settings -> Console Settings -> Remote Control. I had to change it from "Both Remotes" to "Xbox 360 Media Remote." It's on "Both Remotes" by default and doesn't work with this remote at all. I'm giving it 3 Stars because while I was able to eventually make it work, there were no instructions given and even searching online it was difficult to find the answer. After I solved the issue I watched a movie in media center and it performs fine, I have no issues with the five or six feet distance from my couch like others have reported (I've read aftermarket faceplates may pose problems so it's something to keep in mind.) It does not come as pictured in a pre-formed plastic retail package, it simply came in a green bag with batteries with no written material. Amazon customer service (chat option) was excellent. I had requested a refund for the product before searching even more to the eventual answer, they cancelled the refund and ups code and were very quick and courteous about it.
