After Jen's Mother left for home earlier last week we talked about finally purchasing a new universal remote. We've been playing with a really old Sony touch screen one that I had picked up years ago, just to get a feel if the features would be something we really want (macros, etc).

Costco had the Logitech Harmony 720 for $139 w/ a coupon Jen had, so we decided to splurge a bit and buy one. So we've been playing with that here for a few days, it works pretty well out of the box, and you can download most controllers automatically from their online database without having to do much of anything. It's pretty slick, but of course your always going to have to tweak it a bit, but over all it's pretty nice. I figure we spent a few hours at least playing with it to make it work. Funny thing is I didn't even know my xbox 360 could be turned on via infra red.

In other news, we finished Prey on the 360. Not a bad game, the story felt a little weak, but there were certainly some moments that really made me go "whoa". Picked up Dead Rising, and Rayman Raving Rabbids to keep us busy during the long long nights.

Now we just need to know somebody else who has a Wii so we can invite them over and spank them at the games :)
