Instructables stumbled upon a nifty little trick getting their DirecTV universal remote to work with the Xbox 360. After a few simple steps and about 5-10 minutes of cycling through codes, they were able to power up the Xbox and even get some DVD playback functionality out of it. The cool thing about this is that it opens the door to the possibility of other universal remotes being programmed to work with the 360. For example, DirecTV isn't available in Canada, but Shaw Cable has a similar service with its own set top box and universal remote that can manage every component of your home theatre, and if it can be configured to control the Xbox 360, that would be very convenient indeed.
Game Rant interviews Plants vs. Zombies composer Peter McConnell about honoring the series’ quirky roots, adapting its themes, and now going vinyl.
The score for the first Plants Vs Zombies is such great, iconic music that it has a timeless quality. Not quite the level of Minecraft, but wonderful in its own right.
The voice actors for Arthur Morgan and Charles Smith have vaguely confirmed a claim by Rob Wiethoff (voice of John Marston) that big news related to the Red Dead franchise will be coming "before Friday."
I hope it's a remake of the 1st game. But it's probably just the PS5 version of Red Dead Redemption 2
I hope a PS5 upgrade launches on the same day as announcement & it costs no more than $10. I already bought the Ultimate Edition once, they got good money from me.
I stopped playing completely 2 years ago until they did 60fps. I really didn't expect it would take this long & I didn't want to start completely over on PC.
My wish is that its optimized for current gen machines, with some sort of story expansion. Undead nightmare 2! My 2nd wish is that it just shadow drops on the day of the announcement!.
For new players trying out Fallout 4, there are a few actions that gamers should avoid making as they journey with the Sole Survivor.
I think i made the mistake of giving Mama Murphy too many chems. Because I could never get my settlement past 98% happiness, and it even cost me the Platinum.
it's a UNIVERSAL remote. Any universal remote can be made to work with any device if you know what code to put in. Instead of creating their own instruction set for the 360, they probably used one from another manufacturer or at least made their own partially compatible with another manufacturer. It's like in the early days before printers and modems were standardized and other makers began using the Hayes and Epson command sets in their devices because it was easier than creating their own.
...a bit late to the party...
The 360 is already compatible with most universal remotes, starting with the Harmony line (the 360 being optimized for 360 use) and including pretty much every model out there that supports standard MCE codes, even if they didn't support the 360 native codes, which most do.
The 360 can be set to respond to both its native infrared codes or the standard MCE codes that are broadly supported in the business, so lack of universal remote compatibility is hardly an issue and never has been.
For that matter, the XBOX remote control can be set to control pretty much any brand of TV seamlessly. And the way things are headed (IPTV on 360, among other things), a TV and a 360 is all many people will need in their entertainment center. Cheers!
can xbox get anymore stupid...
