5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect.

This came out as an accessory for the Xbox back in '01. Came with a dongle that took up a controller port, and this remote. You NEEDED this in order to play DVD's The Xbox wouldn't do so out of the box. That was a way for Microsoft to cut costs when manufacturing the Xbox.

I dismissed this accessory years ago when the Xbox was fresh on the scene. But then we found out how robust the Xbox is when modded. The Xbox has left the market ever since, but yet it still lives. Years later, I finally saw the light.

Perfect if you want to get a media center experience with your Xbox (via XBMC) I gotta say, it's pretty cool to navigate through the UI on my dashboard with the remote, rather than using the gamepad. Batteries last long, and it's ergonomic enough.

If you're searching for this nowadays, there's a very specific reason why that's the case. A worthy addition to any collection.

Yes, this kit allows you to watch DVDs on your xbox. But what I really got it for was to be able to play the DVD versions of Dragon's Lair, Dragon's Lair II, and Space Ace. These old laser disc arcade games have been made into DVD versions but most home DVD players are simply not fast enough to play them. The XBox DVD system is absolutely fast enough to play these games and its fun reliving the good ole days when Dragon's Lair was the most mind blowing game in the arcade (in terms of graphics!) Works great. Hopefully it will last longer than my last one which died after a couple of years.

It was actually better than I expected with the description saying it was missing a battery cover yet it’s still having the OEM battery cover. Works better than I expected.

the xbox playback kit is lovely ! . my friend was thinking of buying a dvd player and I told him about the xbox playback kit because I saw that he had an xbox . I told him I would find him a playback kit online because we searched local stores and hardly anybody sells parts for xbox anymore . when I did the search online sure enough amazon.com was listed as having the part I was looking for so of course I ordered it . it didn't take long to arrive and my door . I was so glad and impressed that amazon was able to fufill my need . because I was able to purchase the playback kit I helped my friend save the money he was going to spend on a brand new dvd player . just because of that whenever I need to find something online I am going to check amazon.com first from now on . amazon is like my best online friend ! love you guys man !

I bought this remote playback kit here on amazon for $6 plus shipping, and used it for about a week when I figured out that I didn't even need it. I had just got done with a softmod with the UnleashedX dashboard and went to watch a DVD, but the remote wouldn't work, so I just used the controller and later on noticed that the IR sensor wasn't even plugged in(Took it out for the softmod), so instead of buying this, put the money towards a good softmod.

5.0 out of 5 stars Saved movie night for us!
Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2013

I purchased this because my family's DVD player broke, meaning we couldn't enjoy movie night like we used to. So when one of our favorite movies was coming out that we wanted to rent, I purchased this to use with my Xbox in the hope that we could connect the Xbox to our TV. It worked, and we ended up being spared the cost of a new DVD player; instead, we plug my Xbox in to our big-screen TV, plug in the little attachment included in the package, and used the remote to play the movie. We've seen about five movies like this now, and this attachment by Microsoft saved us hundreds of bucks and made watching movies at home possible again! I thoroughly recommend it for any who own an original Xbox (not 360).

3.0 out of 5 stars Although I am not liking having to PURCHASE a DVD player add on, it is a cool tool...
Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2013

When the XBOX first came out, I figured it would be a good competition for the PS2. Sadly, this is far from the truth. The PS2 automatically came with a working DVD player without having to buy an add on or attachment to play them.

Although on the plus side, it does make a very nice attachment. The device works really well and works just as good as if it were a DVD player. The remote is simple, not too fancy, and not much to memorize. The remote comes with a owners manual with instructions on how to use the device, in case you get stuck on how to use the device.

My only confusion about all of this is why do you have to buy an attachment when the device was already DVD ready to begin with. The answer is simple, to make you go out and purchase more XBOX items and give Microsoft more money. So, for those of you who were confused about why the DVD player wasn't working, this is your answer and this is the ONLY solution for it. You "HAVE" to buy the attachment to be able to play DVD's.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good use for my Xbox
Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2011

I had this old original Xbox under the TV in our exercise room, and had some exercise DVDs that I wanted to use. I bought the Xbox DVD Movie Playback Kit for cheap (under $5.00). The hardest part of using it was putting the batteries in the remote. That isn't at all difficult, so you see what I mean? You plug the receiver into one of the controller ports on the Xbox and you are ready to go. Put a DVD in the concole and the remote works like any other TV/DVD remote. Beats the cost of a new DVD player and I don't need anything fancy for playing exercise videos. Also gives my lonely old Xbox something to do besides gather dust.

1.0 out of 5 stars Is this a genuine product?
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 23, 2009
Verified Purchase
This didn't feel a genuine product to me. While the device does work it often needs several presses of the buttons and has to be pointed with precision accuracy at the receiver.

I openend it up and bent out the bulb connectors so it was more prominent from the body which helped - meaning you dont need to aim it so carefully.

My fault for not researching the alternatves properly, and expecting better quality from this reseller. Not cheap either.
