Xbox One Media Remote emerges from cushions, coming early March
The Xbox One Media Remote has been officially revealed by Microsoft's Major Nelson. The Media Remote will launch in early March for $24.99. The small remote looks just like the one leaked on a recent Amazon Canada listing, and all of its buttons glow in the dark, a true bonus for those that don't care for lamps. It includes dedicated back and OneGuide buttons, and also controls TV and receiver power and volume via the Kinect. [Image: Microsoft]
Xbox One Media Remote surfaces on Amazon Canada, hides under cushions
Much like the remote that is buried somewhere in our couches right now, a media remote for Xbox One appeared only momentarily on Amazon Canada recently. The appropriately-named Xbox One Media Remote was around long enough on the retailer's site to be archived by Google Cache, similar to the darn clicker we can't seem to locate at the moment but just know it exists. The listing priced the media remote at $24.99 CAD ($22.69 USD) with a March 4 release date. We've reached out to Microsoft to confirm the existence of the remote and will update when we learn more. In any event, we look forward to shouting to our Kinect, "Xbox, where's my media remote?" Update: A Microsoft spokesperson tells Joystiq, "We are always thinking about what is next for our platform, but don't have anything to share at this time." It sounds like they can't find the remote, either. [Image: Amazon Canada]
