Update: As part of its early Black Friday sale, GameStop is now offering the PDP Gaming Media Remote for Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One at just $10. Shipping is free in orders over $35 or go for free store pickup where available. Regularly $20 and currently over $22.50 at Amazon, this is a solid 50% off and one of the best prices we can find on any reputable Xbox media remote right now.
Amazon is now offering the 8Bitdo Media Remote for Xbox (Long Edition) for $19.80 with free shipping for Prime members or in orders over $25. Regularly $25, this is a relatively price drop yielding the second-best price we have tracked on Amazon and the best we have seen in several months. This is the more extensive edition of the brand’s officially licensed remote – the short version without the number pad sells for $20 regularly – that works with Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One to deliver an entertainment center-like experience. Alongside IR connectivity, it features a dedicated Xbox home button, motion activated backlit controls, and the ability to also control your TV (if it is HDMI-CEC compatible, anyway). More details below.
As of right now, the featured deal above is among the most affordable options from trusted third-party brands – the PDP Xbox Gaming Remote Control sells fo the same $20 Prime shipped with a less extensive set of controls. You will find some more affordable options on Amazon, but none from brands we are overly familiar with.
