The logitech harmony remote is excellent. I am a big fan of the One4All remote series and have been since I first worked at worst buy 5-6 years ago.
The cool thing was you could download codes for new products over the phone. Well Logitech Harmony has seriously one upped One4All with the download available over the internet through usb port. The device is able to learn all the device codes that your current remote for your product has, as well as program activities to make it easier for the less electronic savy wife or girlfriend.
Retailing at 130$ with a 30$ rebate if you have already bought the 360 if you don't have one remote that controls every single electronic in your living room this should be the gadget for christmas.
It can control up to 12 devices including computers, lighting systems, satellite, tape decks, dvr's, basically anything with an InfraRed port.
Devices it controls for me.
LCD Flat Panel TV
VCR
DVD Player
AV Receiver
Xbox 360
Playstation 2
GameCube
I have setup one touch activities for all of the above devices to change to the proper input on the tv and receiver and turn on the device to watch a movie or play a game. One4All isn't far behind this technology I'm sure, but seeing as this incorporates itself right into the 360 I would suggest this product in a heartbeat.
