sup well i'm just wonderin if anyone has used the dvd part of the xbox,i havent i just use it for games but i wanted to know if anyone has use it....i wanna know if it works any good for dvd...........well laterz..............cuz i just plan to use xbox for games since that's what it was made for......................although it's good having dvd on it, though i don't think anyone uses it especially since u have to buy that extra things to use the feature...well laterzzzzzz
My friend bought me the DVD playback remote for christmas and I have to say that it's a sweet feature. There is NO hangups that I've seen and all the DVD movies that I've put in it work. The picture is crisp and sound is clear, it rivals a bargian dvd player. Excellent addon.
I have, love it, and recommend it if you don't already own a DVD player :)
hey
my friend bought me the remote for xmas...
and its amazing
i have a dvd player also...
but the quality is way better on the xbox....
the picture is amazing...
this is a definate pick-up for a true xba....
peace
I have it and it works great. It rivials my toshiba dvd player that now sits in my living room. Hey just program your universal remote to RCA and you are all set.
MY OPINION= See above post ^ ^ ^
Only thing is that if you have an HDTV or EDTV then buy a progressive scan player. Picture quality is sooo much better and you can take advantage of 480p and anamorphic dvds. Plus as Hugh_Jass has said before, less wear and tear on your Xbox.
^--------Excellent point right here :DQuote:

yep i've used it...funny thing is, my family uses it more than i do, so sometimes i never get to play my xbox :( ..yes MY xbox..i paid for it after saving for 6 months :D
u can use a universal remote on xbox???
I bought my xbox too! I worked all summer, and about wasted it all on the xbox... not that its a waste. ;) I had to buy just about everything on my own except for christmas presents, and the naki case:cool:
EDIT: I forgot that I was going to say I use my xbox dvd too, and so does my family
Yes, but you still need the dongle.Quote:

Its definitely missing a couple of cool features on the remote/menu though. I would of liked different slow-mo features, a zoom that you can actually change the zoom location and not always centred, etc.
Its good though, alot better than the DVD-Rom/decoder card setup I had before.

i heard that the xbox dvd kit dosent have the menu thing (the menu where the movie takes u to select ur options and stuff)like other dvd players. i heard this from an employee at best buy. i dont think i believe him now.(must be an ps2lover). So, is taht guy saying is tru? i hope not:confused:
Man, I guess they just hire anyone at Best Buy. Thats one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard.Quote:

I think I'll probably get a DVD kit for Xbox.
I've used the DVD playback kit and I'll tell you that I'm impressed. They put in features that are only on the most expensive players.
The only problem with it is ease of use... it's hard to find where certain functions are using the remote. But once you figure it out, everything works like a charm.

you can zoom other places, you just gotta exit outta the menu and then use the arrowsQuote:

Yes, I do have it, and I love it. Works just fine for me.
I just got the DVD Playback Kit a few days ago! WOOT! It works great, the 2nd nite I was like DOH! Why not program it into my universal remote!Quote:

It works great with my Sima SUR-20 (touch screen) Universal Remote Control.
ya it took me a while to figure this out, it just ****es me off that you have to exit the menu to move around, then reenter the menu to change the zoom to normalQuote:

I use it, I think its good too, since it is my only dvd player
It was a 30 bucks well spent! Good dvd player, would suggest anyone that owns the xbox to get the dvd playback kit!
