Having too many remotes is a common problem in a normal household. With VCRs, DVD players, audio systems, and of course the TV, remote controls start to pile up quickly. Now with the Xbox 360 media remote, that adds one more remote into the mix. The perfect solution to this remote mayhem is the universal remote. The universal remote isn't that new of a concept, but Logitech has recently developed a universal remote specifically designed for the Xbox 360. The Xbox 360 Logitech Harmony remote is a slim monster that will control anything with an infrared receiver and has dedicated Xbox 360 A, B, X, and Y buttons.
Universal remotes are great because they can be programmed to control almost any device. Because these remotes are so powerful and can control anything, they don't come cheap. Normal universal remotes can cost anywhere from $30 to $300 depending on what you are looking for. The Xbox 360 Logitech Harmony remote weights in at $130, but is it worth it?
