Xbox One Media Remote Available Soon

As of March/April of 2014, Xbox One owners will be able to purchase an official media remote to make interactivity a breeze. Similar to a regular TV remote, the Xbox One equivalent will feature playback functions for Blu-Ray, as well as a OneGuide button, which "provides one-touch, quick access to your favourite TV shows and movies," all through your Xbox guide.

Although users can control their console using the control pads and the Kinest camera, many will be delighted to purchase a specific device that functions as a remote control.

Xbox 360 fans will no doubt recall the media remote available in the previous generation. While it was rather large, clunky and featured a whole host of buttons, sources suggest the Xbox One version will be more compact with fewer buttons to get used to.

Already, places such as Amazon UK have started listing the product, portraying the release date as "April 4" and priced at £19.99. Amazon Italy is also listing the product with the same release date and priced at twenty-three Euros.

Let us know in the comments if you think this will ultimately be a good investment for gamers/movie enthusiasts, or if it will just add another pointless remote control to the vast collection that many people already have in their homes.
