media remote for 360

Hey, Bob here, I read somewhere that the premium package comes with one of the media remotes. Is that true???

Yes, it is true, however, there is one important thing to consider. You get the Media Remote with the Premium system, however, you can purchase the more extensive Universal Remote. I was rather bummed out to see that the Universal Remote is not included...mainly for one petty reason. There aren't any number buttons on the included remote..and I'm planning to fully integrate Media Center with my 360. Though I'll still be able to change channels by scrolling or using the guide, I won't be able to type in a channel.

Here's the pic of the Universal Remote (which costs about 30 bucks)

And here's the free Media Remote

Sorry to ramble on so long, but I hope I've supplied you with more than enough info.

Ps - great avatar! thats funny

that sucks, I didn't even know that it was 2 different remotes. Seems kind of stupid to me, why wouldn't they just produce the one Universal remote. I m sure it just comes down to more accessories=more money
