Remote Control?

[Mystictrust]

For those that are curious and don't want to use voice commands and/or smartglass, the XBox One will be controllable by a universal remote...

THANK YOU! That is the first I have seen of that. I have the official Xbox remote for my 360 (the older white one that lights up) and use it ALL THE TIME. It really saves battery versus the controller when I am not playing games. I am hoping it works naturally with no problems though, because I am not sure how or even if it is possible at all to program in codes for it. If anyone here knows, please tell me I love that it has A, B, X, Y buttons (and the big Xbox button to open up the guide) as well, because it makes it much easier to navigate around the UI - I use it for more than just media, sometimes I use it to download games to play later or rearrange "My Pins"

As much as I love the Kinect, it seems it would be much more convenient/easy to use the remote for most operations anyway - there are exceptions, though. I get up and go into the kitchen to check on things or make things a lot while watching Netflix on my Xbox, so I bring the Xbox remote everywhere with me and it's nowhere to be found when I sit back on the couch. Simple pause and resume via voice commands is acceptable in those cases
