Xbox One Amazon Accidentally Reveals Xbox One Media Remote

[KN1GHTMARE]

An official Xbox One Media Remote has been spotted on various regional Amazon sites, presumably ahead of an official reveal.

It was first sighted on Amazon Canada by Engadget, where it was listed for release on March 4 costing $22.69. Though the listing has since been taken down, you can still check it out thanks to Google cache.

​

As the name suggests, the remote will allow you navigating the many media functions offered by the console, and boasts a sleek design.

I won't lie, I may end up picking this up. It just makes sense considering how much media related stuff I now do on my XB1. It was an obvious and expected move and hopefully this all means it will be coming to us sooner than later. I had a similar remote for both my PS3 and 360 so this is kind of a no-brainer. What do you guys think? Will you be picking this up when it releases? Sound off in the comments!

Update: Microsoft has officially announced the Xbox One Media Remote, confirming it'll be available worldwide from "early March".

Yup. I'll pick it up at that price point. I watch a ton of Netflix so it could be handy, especially since the Kinect doesn't like to listen to me when the volume is up

I need this for Netflix! My Xbox doesn't pick up anything other than "Xbox pause" or "Xbox play" so I'm screwed if I want to do anything else like rewind, go forward, or search through titles.

Amazon seems like it's terrible at keeping things under wraps. It would be that friend in high school that you didn't tell secrets to.

On topic, if I had an Xbox One I would probably pick this up at that price.

I might get this remote. I really don't care for getting anything extra that I'll use for only one side thing from the main thing I got my console/device for, but we'll see.

Yeah, same here when I buy an Xbox One in the near futrue. I also watch lots of Netflix on my PS3 so if I ever have to transfer to the XB1, this media 'mote will do well for me!

 

[StreetShark]

I'm picking up the Media Remote. It's just $23...I do agree with Outrun: Amazon is awful with keeping stuff private.

 

[Razor]

I'm considering this remote. Like marthyrocks I watch a lot of Netflix.

 

[Jedioutcast]

No doubt, I'll have one myself. Kinect just doesn't work for me like it should.

My wife does too. So I think I'll get this remote for her. I got the same type on my 360 before but I can't find it for some weird reason.

It's a good price for a remote. It's not like they're charging controller prices for it.

I agree, I think most of us will get this. It's funny that amazon had the announcement first.

Just how much are they selling this on Amazon? I'm intrigued, i think I'll get one.

 

[ThunderSteel]

It's supposed to be $23 which I think is pretty good, I just don't know if I'll be picking it up.

I think $23 for a remote is okay. I think I'll get it, makes it easier to switch modes and all.

Me too, same on the PS3. Ever get the Xbox One, this remote is a must. Better have a nice hiding place for this 'cuz one of family members might mistake it for the actual HDTV remote and lose it!

 

[diamondback8]

Oh lala. This remote will do for me. When I need to have something to use when using Netflix, Hulu or even Crunchyroll, I need a remote that will let me navigate without using the controller. This shall do!

Yeah, my wife is bugging me about it, she did see the ad on amazon but she's still unaware if the release is true, well same here, i'm not really sure if this is real or a hoax since microsoft hasn't said anything about it.

A friend of mine pre ordered the remote on amazon a week ago, they had it scheduled to be delivered this week. Not sure how this turns out but a remote is really a must for all of us.

I agree. We really need this new remote. I had one for my 360. I guess this new one will be better for Xbox One.
