I don't recall ever owning a droid.

So, I opened my xbox 360 box, and it was even packaged sexy. I took 2 components off of home entertainment rack and replaced them with the xbox 360. I no longer need my dvd player, or original xbox.

More importantly, when one is staring at a universal remote control with a hefty price tag of 129.99, one expects superb features out of said remote control. The remote itself was sexy, way sexier than the 30 dollar microsoft one. I'm talking about the logitech harmony universal remote control for xbox 360...."what the hell", I say, I'm spending money on my 360 anyway, might as well do it up right.

Now, long ago, my benq pb6200 projector remote broke, and I haven't found a universal remote that would control it...until now. Basically, the logictech harmony is a god amongst remote controls. It doesn't even list model numbers to choose from, you just type a model number and it says "yep, I can do that". It has a nifty usb control cable so you can plug it into your computer and program it directly.

This remote is awesome, worth every penny paid, and I think I currently like it more than the xbox 360 itself. It has a warm and sexy green glow, and the setup utility itself is awesome in its own right.

I programmed every device I have(even my cable box) into one single remote. By pressing "activities->watch tv" on the lcd screen, the remote kicks on my projector, AV receiver, cable box, and navigates my AV receiver to the proper input.

Looking at the remote control, it greets you with a warm "welcome to your remote control" message. How friendly is that? I almost wanted to say "hello remote control, I name you 'little matt junior'".

If you're in the market for a universal remote, and you'd rather buy a diety amongst mice, then buy this remote. Its price tag is minimal for the amount of features that it has.
